Today we’d like to introduce you to Nora Munoz and John McDavid.
Nora, John, we’d love to hear your story and how you got to where you are today both personally and as an artist.
I am not an artist but I am so passionate about yoga and art that I wanted to share with kids underprivileged my experience. As teacher and Yoga Instructor, I went to Chiapas, Mex in 2015 and I introduced yoga to kids. In 2016, I opened Sharda Yoga Center in Playas de Tijuana, Mexico and in 2017 Sharda Yoga Center became a non-profit organization offering support to children from different orphanages and shelters. Thousands of children in Tijuana come to these institutions every year because they have been victims of physical or emotional abuse or they were deported or refugees.
Yoga and art calm the mind and bring us to the present. Therefore, I believe that yoga and art should be available to all children regardless of their socioeconomic status.
We’d love to hear more about your art. What do you do you do and why and what do you hope others will take away from your work?
Yoga give us a sense of freedom and expansiveness in our bodies, minds and spirits. A lot of people would think that it is the same sense of working out in the gym. However, the poses of yoga are mastered, the practitioner experiences enhanced self-esteem, internal and external strength and as we become more flexible in our bodies we become more flexible in our attitude. I believe art is an amazing way to teach your brain about mindfulness in a creative and authentic way.
What do you think it takes to be successful as an artist?
Practice, consistency, self-discipline, compassion, passion and love.
Do you have any events or exhibitions coming up? Where would one go to see more of your work? How can people support you and your artwork?
We have a great team of teachers for yoga, art, musicians and English. You are so welcome to join us every weekend. Please check, shardayogacenter.com or visit our page in FB sharda yoga center volunteers.
