It is a rewarding feeling when my clients enjoy my work to the point where they want another session. This year I had the fortune of one client signing up for three.

Enter Chantal, pictured above. She is an experienced teacher at PranaShanti Yoga Centre and a lifelong student of the practice. I am always struck by the thought and wisdom Chantal puts into her movements and try my best to convey that feeling when photographing her. Chantal's sessions were spread out over this past winter, summer and fall. I invite you to click on the links to view a selection of photos from each one.

To help contextualize the images, I thought it would be fitting to share some of Chantal's own philosophy:

"The way we move our physical bodies can shift how we move through our lives. How we move through our emotions. In our day to day stuff we may have learned that it's only acceptable to move our bodies in certain ways...of course certain times and places that's appropriate- but we used to move in so many more ways before we adapted to modern life. If that's the case, and you feel called to move in other ways, find places where you can move freely and openly. Find people who encourage your expression. Find time to tune in."
