Groups Updates...
Monthly Group Focus
This month the new group focus is on dA-Yoga-Challenge - it's not photography related, it's not any kind of specific art genre related for that matter. But it just goes to show the diversity of deviantART and how there's absolutely something for everyone here. Whilst we go about our Art, our creations and our inspirations we're also parts of lots of other pockets around the internet and our 'everyday lives.' The deviantART Yoga Challenge is there to bring together people who enjoy Yoga or who want to get into it slowly and need a bit of help. Head over and check it out for more information and read the latest journal on Staying Motivated on dA.
