Shanti-Town Takes Beautiful Pictures!!!

This is it, everyone, we did it!!

The First Official Shanti-Town Yoga in the World Photo Contest-a-thon

was a huge success!  I got so many beautiful submissions, as you'll see below...what a gorgeous expression of yoga in the world...I love to see the practice expressed in this way, by yogis and non-yogis alike.  Thank you so much to everyone who submitted...your prize will be emailed to you forth-with.

Readers, as you look through these, remember that the assignment was "yoga in the world"--expressed in whatever form or fashion is most meaningful to the individual participants, which means it most definitely did not have to be a picture of a "yoga pose", but rather an expression of unity or beauty or serenity or whatever other adjectives represents YOGA to him or her. 

I have so loved seeing these all come in, and though I was not going to pick a "winner", one photo came in that was so exactly in the spirit of what I was asking for, and so eloquently presented by the submitter, I just had to give it special recognition.  The winning photo gets its own special post below...be sure to check it out, it's pretty awesome.

Thank you, Shanti-towners, and thank you My Yoga Online, for making this all possible!
