Yoga Sculptures:

Though not an official sculpture commission,Richard Stravitz was inspired by a friend's suggestion that he should complete a series of yoga sculptures. From there, Stravitz found a way to celebrate the art of sculpture and yoga by connecting with the Virginia Drishti Festival.
These yoga sculptures depict three yoga poses and were modeled after a local Virginia Beach yoga instructor and Drishti Festival organizer who posed for Stravitz in March of 2015.
The five yoga sculptures are still undergoing the formation of the clay model, a process that has taken around four months for these works. They will be bronze-casted in late August and will be ready by the Drishti Festival in October of 2015.
