Celeste Groenewald uses gouache on paper to document the way bodies shift and settle during a yoga flow, treating the practice as a complex figure drawing challenge. In this piece, the artist isolates the pigeon pose, focusing on the lean silhouette and the specific alignment of limbs required to find stability. The work avoids unnecessary ornamentation, instead highlighting the physical reality of the stretch and the strength held within a slim, muscular frame.

The application of green tones creates a sense of a tranquil retreat, mirroring the internal environment of a practitioner focused on their breath. By capturing this specific moment of stillness, Groenewald invites the viewer to appreciate the discipline of the movement and the satisfying resolution of a body finding its center. The result is a grounded observation of how physical appearance changes under the influence of intentional, mindful exercise.
