BASIA J. LIPSKA
is
an artist and an earnest practitioner and authorized instructor of the
Ashtanga Vinyasa System of Yoga. She resided in Japan since 1997 during
which time she co-founded Ashtanga Yoga Japan, the Museum Tokyo
Performance Space, and assisted in the expansion of the International Yoga
Center. Along with extensive visits to Mysore, India to practice under Sri
K Pattabhi Jois and Sri R Sharath, she trained under Shandor Remete, David
Swenson and Mark Darby and was inspired by Shingon Buddhism, the
Self-Realization Fellowship and the Foundation for Shamanic Studies. Basia
now offers classes, workshops, teacher training programs, organizes
holistic services and events in Poland and Norway. She has performed yoga
demonstrations, choreographed and supervised yoga-related projects at
various venues and appeared in numerous health & fashion magazines, DVD¨s,
TV programs and books (fashion, health, sport) promoting yoga and healthy
living standards. Having witnessed the transformative power of yoga, its
notion of psychosomatic knots as well as its therapeutic practice became
the driving force of her creative interests which range from photography
to fashion, culminating in a MFA in design. She presents the image of a
knot, found in doodles, maps, diagrams, etc., as a nomenclature of therapy
and an allegory of the spiritual journey of modern times.
