Guest Post - Devereau Chumrau - Images of the History of Yoga

Ryan Nance January 23, 2014
Devereau Chumrau - Actor & Yoga Practioner

Devereau Chumrau - Actor & Yoga Practioner

This guest post is from actor Devereau Chumrau.

Devereau may be a native of Los Angeles, but it is also the time she spent in Ghana, in Europe and the UK, and largely as a student of the Asolo Conservatory in Florida, that has shaped her vision as an actor and as an artist. She has, all along the way, worked to develop her interest and experience in acting for the stage and for the screen.

Catch her show LOVECRAFT: Nightmare Suite opening Jan 31 at the Visceral Company in Hollywood.

Devereau:

Just call me yogini from now on!

This awesome exhibition at the Smithsonian’s Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, “Yoga: The Art of Transformation," has redefined my understanding of yoga with its 17 centuries of images and objects documenting yoga's history.

It's so great to be able to geek out on my fascination with both yoga and art history.  

The exhibit page on the Smithsonian site has so much enthralling history in the very specific stories that go along with the beautiful images.
