Unleash your creativity and deepen your connection to yourself in this special Yoga Journal Art Workshop! This is not a yoga class—it’s a hands-on, community-driven experience where you'll design and paint your own personalized journal cover, turning it into a unique reflection of your inner world.

Journaling is an essential part of yoga practice, offering a powerful way to reflect on your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. It enhances self-awareness, helps you identify patterns and areas for growth, and strengthens the connection between your mind, body, and spirit. By capturing your reflections, intentions, and progress, your journal becomes a cherished tool for growth and transformation.

In this workshop, you’ll:

  • Paint and customize your journal cover to create a beautiful, one-of-a-kind keepsake that reflects your unique journey.

  • Connect with a community of like-minded individuals as you share creative energy and inspiration.

No prior art experience is needed—just bring your enthusiasm and an open heart! All supplies, including a journal, paints, and art materials, will be provided.

Reserve your spot today to craft your meaningful journal and take the first step toward a deeper connection to yourself and your yoga journey. Let’s turn creativity into a celebration of reflection and growth!


About Ann Wathers

Ann was not known to be artistic, but in 2014, she experienced a life-changing event.  She was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer and went through surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation.  She finished treatment in 2015, and part of her healing led her to make candles and soap.  In 2017, during a session with her psychic medium, she asked, “Do you paint?” Ann laughed and said no.  The psychic told her angels were encouraging me to paint, and since Ann believes in angels, she found a local sip and paint event.  She painted a lavender field at the event and loved it. Ann had no idea where this was leading her, but this painting became the logo for Simply Ann’s Lavender the following year.  She sells her candles, soap, and paintings at Etsy and local events.  

Ann lives in a historic home in Lombard with her two dogs and is grateful for my peaceful life.
