Yoga for Artists
Yoga for Artists is an invitation to people in creative fields to try yoga as a way to enhance creativity, wellness, perspective, and joy, while at the same time reducing stress, blocks, frights, and injury. It’s a lighthearted look at the philosophy and practice of yoga, from an artist’s point of view.
A great read for artists and for yoga practitioners who want their artist friends to give it a try. As one reviewer wrote, it's also helpful for yoga teachers who want to learn how to talk to students who are artists. Here's a review by artist Joel Adas.

A New Novel of Desire and Purpose
Incarnation follows a journalist, an actor, a writer, and a programmer whose dreams and desires play out together on the global stage, again and again. Each time, they find meaning as they spin on life’s mysterious wheel of fortune: samsara.
Full of historical backstory, contemporary topics, and future speculation, Incarnation is a mix of a romantic political thriller and Sliding Doors' philosophical "what if."

In my novel, The Black Hole of the Heart, three characters’ stories intersect around the similarity of emotional upheaval and the mysterious phenomenon of the black hole. With irresistable pull at play, each character falls and then finds a new truth about the possibilities of ending, rebirth, and the power of love.

When Wally looks for the path to love, he finds a naked yogini, a smiling guru, and a ruthless goddess lighting the way. Wally can't figure out how to transcend his life-long string of not quite right relationships. His latest mismatch introduces him to yoga, and while she's soon gone, Wally is hooked on a journey that brings him love, marriage and, maybe, the help of a goddess!
Wally and Kali celebrates the poignancy and humor of modern love and family, set in the contemporary yoga scene.

"This book was one of the most enjoyable reads ever, for me. I lean toward the classics when it comes to fiction. Wally and Kali is really brilliantly written. There is a beautiful rhythm and flow to Peter Ferko's writing. His characters are so fully constructed; the world he creates in this book completely enveloped me and I didn't want to leave it. I couldn't wait to return to it. I can't wait to read his future books." —Commenter on Amazon.com

Summer Retreat in France!
Yoga and the Art of Living Creatively
August 14-19, Normandy France
with Ulrica Norberg, Wendy Newton, and Peter Ferko
Register here!
Yoga is a system, learned and practiced over a lifetime. As way of life, yoga allows us to perceive, make peace with, and accept what is actual, real, and present AS IT IS. This is a profound experience that creates transformation and growth in our core being.
Creativity in life means relating to circumstances and relationships in a way that is based on conscious response rather than automatic reactions.
Creativity comes from practicing yoga, just as yoga comes from practicing creativity.
We are all human; we all tend to get stuck in our patterns;and we all need time and the support of trusted others to make change in our lives.
Whether you are a creative professional practicing yoga or a yogi practicing creativity, come together in retreat with us this summer to plant and cultivate the seeds of real inner and outer transformation!
