Yoga in Galway, Ireland
As a street photographer or someone learning their trade, it can always be useful to go outside your comfort zone. And on this one project I did just this.
This weekend I travelled to the west of Ireland, Galway in fact, and took some photos for a friend who is a Yoga Teacher.
Galway is the Goa of Ireland, and is littered with the alternative lifestyle, so much so it has become central to the Yoga Revival in Ireland.
The house I stayed in was wall to wall Zen, a cornucopia of colours and and sounds so beautiful it was hard not to be relaxed.
These photos are super cool, James! Yes, that music is great for relaxing the mind and body. Let me know if you try yoga. I used to do it. I need to get back into it. I’m enjoying the meditations, though.

Meditation is something I was told would help my sleep patterns?

You should totally give it a try. I think a lot of stuff may come up for you if you have any issues you haven’t dealt with. I guess it wakes your mind to deal with all your crap and grab your lessons, but yes, it also helps you sleep better. I know I sleep better, deeper, which is saying something, because I’ve always been an ultralight sleeper, which is a complete pain in the butt! But maybe for the last few weeks, I’ve slept much more deeply. And I’m thankful. I’ll just be glad when I reach a calmer, more relaxed state – like the bliss, but I’m not gonna quit now. I have to get there…if I don’t go crazy first. Today was just an off day, I think.

Think I will. I also think I need to shut off electrical devices I use for photography a lot sooner

Yes, all electrical devices should be off and not too close to your head. If your cell phone or alarm clock is close by, cover it a cloth or something to keep the light and energy away from your face. Just be sure you wake up on time.

Some great images here. I especially like your opening reflection shot, and the lamps.
