There’s nothing more likely to find representational concepts in abstract form than the human mind. The Yoga Tree is a fine example of this!
Yes, in essence, she is a mere tree, whose form has been shaped by years of growth in a climate and environment, for which the current shape was an optimal adaptation. Being on a farm, she had to deal with growing around a discarded oil tank, which almost certainly contributed to the curvature.
To our human mind, she presents an intriguing shape that we look to interpret; as she presents this shape, we see arms stretching to the sky in a pose that might remind us of a yoga asana: the Yoga Tree is born!
During the Summer, when she is ensconced in a fine set of foliage, there are other shapes to discover. I’ll be sure to touch upon these in a future post!
My question to you: what did you see first time you laid eyes on this tree?

I can relate this to one of the yoga poses!
Thank you for reading the post. Yes, I agree, as I see the elegance and stillness of the pose too.
As its curved, its delicacy and elegance can be visualised!
I see a lady doing a back arch. The Yoga Tree is aptly named! In my view, no tree is a ‘mere’ tree. 🙂
Thank you for your thoughts! I agree with no tree being a ‘mere’ tree, as they are vital to our living on this planet!
I love these images of the Yoga Tree! I totally see it with it’s own Coffee Table Book!
Hmmm….I think you’re on to something 🙂 Thank you so much!!
Of course! If I had a coffee table….
Any table, on which you spill coffee is a coffee table 🙂
Touche`!
I see one of those circus contortionists doing a headstand with legs going back…and back…and back…
Definitely agree with that, as she does reach way back and up to the sky! 🙂
