I am using yoga as art therapy. I have 1 or 2 lessons a week with an instructor but on the other days I design my own program choosing the postures (asanas) I will do. I find the process of choosing the postures, learn and practice improving them very creative indeed.
I am also doing another small things to keep me creative like changing the wallpaper of my computer frequently, choosing a movie to watch, etc.
Recently we’ve been talking about expressing yourself creatively. Many of our greatest works of art have come from individuals with mental health illnesses. Painters like Van Gogh, Michelangelo, Virginia Woolf, Edgar Allan Poe and many others all suffered from depression or bipolar disorder. Below you’ll find links to stories of other individuals who have found solace in art therapy.
