Blanca Aviles is a rising star in Chicago's yoga and dance community. I had the privilege of being a student of Blanca when I lived in Chi-town. During my last visit back, I spent the morning capturing her amazing practice.

Namaste.

    Geez I could watch this kind of thing all day....

    very nicely done Van...from visuals to music to edit
  • Van Yang 1 year ago
    Thanks pdy. My only nit-pick is that I wish I had a proper tripod at the shoot, but you'd be surprised how well a stack of blankets do.

    Wish I could move and shoot like that. I'm a runner, and runners are notoriously not bendy. Not that much.

    While there's no hope I'll ever be as flexible, I'm working on the skills to shoot and edit like you do.

    Very nice!
  • Van Yang 1 year ago
    Thanks Rob. Keep at it and both your flexibility and filming skills will improve, promise!

    I tried Yoga a few times and have to say it's one of the toughest exercises/activities

    Her practice is so amazing! She has the grace of a dancer and the flexibility of a yogi.

    She is such an inspiration. Watching her really shows me what could be possible in my own practice. Thank you for so beautifully capturing and sharing her practice with us.
