Finland's Yoga Park 2/4
Veijo Rönkkönen (1944-2020) dedicated 4 decades of his life on a secret mission: making 550 sculptures.
He stayed away from people, loved nature, practiced #Yoga
Many people who go to see his sculptures are fascinated by his yoga self portraits!

FINLAND'S YOGA PARK 3/4
Veijo Rönkkönen was a mysterious man.
He spent hours in the forest alone.
#Yoga was an integral part of his life.
He once said the park was a monument to the memory of his younger body.
Here a man plays #Kantele ladies dance to his music

FINLAND'S YOGA PARK
This park has many sculptures inside a forest in Yoga poses.
Yet the style is that of traditional Finnish art.
Veijo Rönkkönen made sculptures for 4 decades with zero publicity inside the forest.
3 yrs before death he was finally given the Finlandia Prize!
