Yoga Girl Paintings by Deb Chaney

Generally when I procrastinate something - like say doing my home yoga practice, dishes, or paperwork - I go and make art. Art making is my go-to-feel-good activity. In 2013, when I signed up to take a nine month Yoga Teacher Training program, which I might add had various homework requirements - such as doing a regular yoga practice - I began to do some procrastinating… This is how the Yoga Girl paintings were born. Really, I was meant to be doing yoga, but at that time it was easier to paint. I told everyone I was making them to learn the name of the poses, not really the whole honest truth. The funny thing is, its been a few years now and I am joyfully back to making some new Yoga Girl paintings and it’s re-energizing me back towards my home practice and interestingly enough, I am actually now starting to learn some yoga pose names. It's my hope that the Yoga Girls find a way to inspire you - whether it be to actually do yoga, or to go do your go-to-feel-good activity. Basically the world would be way better place if we were all feeling good. Namaste! Deb
