21 Beautiful Yoga Pictures of Yoga Models on Instagram That Will Inspire You

Yoga is a practice that people have enjoyed for centuries, and its popularity has continued to grow over the years. One of the most beautiful aspects I love about yoga is how it can be captured through photography, showcasing the grace and strength of the human body in motion. Whether it's an action shot of a yogi holding a challenging pose or a serene photo of a practitioner in a natural setting, yoga photography has the power to inspire and uplift people.

Popular types of yoga photography include:

• Nature-based yoga photography: These photos often feature yogis practicing yoga outdoors in stunning natural settings, such as on a beach, in a forest, or on a mountaintop.
   
• Action-based yoga photography: These photos capture yogis in a challenging pose or flowing through a yoga sequence. Images like these often show the strength, balance, and flexibility required for yoga.
   
• Artistic yoga photography: These photos are often highly stylized and use creative lighting, angles, and composition to create visually stunning images. Some examples include silhouette shots or pictures with vibrant colors.

In this collection of magical yoga photos, you will explore the beauty and artistry of this ancient practice through stunning imagery that captures the essence of yoga.

Many incredible yoga photos on the internet showcase the beauty and grace of the practice. Ultimately, the best yoga photos are the ones that uplift and inspire you.

3. Marissa Victoria

Marissa Victoria is a fun and colorful yoga teacher in Santa Cruz, California. We talked about how we enjoyed each other's work and doing a yoga photoshoot. However, we were 1,000 miles away from each other. Then out of the blue, we both ended up in Taos, New Mexico — a beautiful serendipitous moment in our lives.

Out of this magical time in our life, we created lovely images (during golden hour) such as her Skandasana pose on the side of the Rio Grande Canyon.

An epic yoga winter shoot in Colorado is in the works. Stay tuned!
