Lego minifigure woman practicing yoga outdoors in nature sitting in the lotus or Padmasana position with Rumi quote about wisdom: “Yesterday I was clever so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise so I am changing myself.”

An inspirational quote for the wall of your home or spa.

I envisioned this photograph for a challenge to shoot photos of active seniors. I am a senior myself and although I have plenty fit and active friends, none of them have gray hair, so they do not look the part of the stereotypical active retiree. I was just starting to explore toy photography, so I ordered some gray haired minifigure parts and made my own seniors.

I also recently began exploring evidence based art for healthcare settings, and this image, with its calming green tones and nature inspired imagery would be great in a physical therapy center to encourage patients to work toward getting back to an activity they love such as yoga, or in an active adult community room to make those who are young at heart recognize themselves and smile.
