The XV work of the LICHTGESTALT series shows the asana Taube | Kapotasana.
The dove is one of the artist's favorite asanas, which she practices regularly.
Kapotasana requires concentration and mindfulness to maintain proper alignment and breathing. Through the practice of Kapotasana, one can learn to focus inward and be present in the present moment, which can promote mindfulness.
Some people experience deep physical stretching and stimulation of specific areas of the body, such as the hips or chest, that are associated with emotions during the practice of Kapotasana. This can allow suppressed emotions to surface and be released, which can lead to emotional opening and release. Achieving an advanced yoga asana like Kapotasana can boost confidence and self-esteem . Overcoming challenges and achieving new physical goals can lead to increased confidence and a positive attitude towards yourself.
The combination of relaxation and self-reflection and her daily artistic work in the studio are absolutely essential for Karin Döring. New ideas often come from pausing and letting go. This is how the idea for the LICHTGESTALT series came about while practicing yoga. Obvious actually.
