The following images were all created within the last three weeks, in the Northeastern region of the United States and Ontario, Canada, where the magnificence of autumn helped create this yoga portfolio. Having been born and raised in California, witnessing nature make this transition is a rare treat and an extraordinary experience for me.
Between the sincerity of the yogis I collaborated with, and the almost unbelievable palette of nature's foliage, we created a body of work celebrating each other and the beautiful planet we live on. I hope you enjoy it.

A dedicated yoga practitioner himself, Sturman's work has increasingly focused on capturing the timeless grace and embodied mindfulness of asana. His portraits, whether set in the lively streets of Manhattan, the expansiveness of Malibu's beaches and canyons, the timeless elegance of Walden's New England, or the bleakness of San Quentin Prison, remind us that there is beauty everywhere. In Sturman's own words "I often think of Rumi: 'I can't stop pointing to the beauty.' That feels right to me."
