"Lemon Yoga" is a series of paintings, prints and cards by Diana Hobstetter.

The "Lemon Yoga" paintings are created to reflect and inspire yoga postures, and are comprised of hands and feet in yoga poses accompanied by lemons. The skin tones are offset by the calming purple background and exhilirating lemon yellow.

"Lemon Yoga" was conceived when a co-yogi brought lemons from her tree to share with a yoga class. The artist was inspired by the vision of the yellow lemon against the purple yoga mat, in combination with the flesh tones which were a frequent element of the artist's work.

Diana Hobstetter is a Los Angeles-based artist, who has exhibited internationally. She works primarily in oil paint and mixed media, as well as doing web design. She had been practicing yoga for about 5 years when she conceived of the "Lemon Yoga" series.

Thanks to Megan McCarver, my yoga instructor and friend, for assisting me with the poses and photo-sketches. And thanks to Arlene Rose for bringing lemons to our yoga class, and thus inspiring this series.
