Inspired by the third eye “ajna chakra”, Nimi is a little character with one eye, performing the first series of Ashtanga Yoga. The third eye refers to the gate that leads to inner realms and spaces of higher consciousness.
Also a “clind’oeil” to the “dristhi” in yoga, which is the focused gaze for developing concentrated intention. In Sanskrit, drishti can also mean a vision, a point of view, or intelligence and wisdom. The use of drishti in asana (postures) serves both as a training technique and as a metaphor for focusing consciousness toward a vision of oneness. Drishti is a technique for looking for the Divine everywhere—and thus for seeing correctly the world around us. Used in this way, drishti becomes a technique for removing the ignorance that obscures this true vision, a technique that allows us to see the Divine in everything.
