My Favorite Instagram Yogis

Ok, so I posted about why you should be posting yoga pictures on Instagram. This is a follow up with my favorite Instagram yogis! These beautiful people are so inspirational. They share their journey with yoga, the asana and more, with thousands, even millions of followers. They have fun with their practices, posing while traveling, hiking, SUP-ing, walking around the city... They get creative with colors, lighting, and lines in front of scenic vistas and graffitied walls. They share their lives, thoughts, emotions (good and bad) through their posts. It's a beautiful, beautiful thing.

Rachel Brathen (@yoga_girl)
I had the pleasure of assisting Rachel when she taught in Portland this spring. She's so sweet, so authentic, such a beautiful person. And living in Aruba means she gets some truly gorgeous #beachyoga pictures! 



Laura Kasperzak (@laurasykora)
Laura's mini-me yoga pictures with her daughter are so cute! I also love her transformation shots and the few she does in heels! 



Kathryn Budig (@kathrynbudig)
Kathryn is one of my all-time inspirations for yoga! She has such a strong, playful, fun practice! I love her incorporation of lifestyle into her yoga shots (hello food, fashion, pups, and handsome hubby). 


(Robert Sturman @robertsturman is a photographer with tons of stunning shots like this!) 

Tiffany Cruikshank (@tiffanycruikshank and @yoga_medicine)
Tiffany is another huge inspiration of mine. Her practice is so strong and mindful, and she's so incredible knowledgable of anatomy! I love her personal page, which includes adorable pictures of her pup Lulu and travel shots, and her professional page.



Kino MacGregor and Kerri Verna (@kinoyoga and @beachyogagirl) 
These two powerhouse yoginis team up on some of my favorite pose-of-the-day challenges. Their practices are incredible! Seriously, Kino makes you question how a body can even be capable of some things. And their photo locations are gorgeous: Mysore, Vegas, Miami beaches... 




Caitlin Turner (@gypsetgoddess) 
I mean those legs! 


Melissa Lee (@pocketdwarf)
This Canadian yogi posts some seriously gorgeous scenic shots! And with a baby bump too?!


Pat Bailey (@patbailey)
Pat posts up in some badass poses in front of amazing murals! Love street art yoga!



Rachel Anna (@rachelanna_yoga)
As one of the #inspiredyogis pose-of-the-day hosts, she posts gorgeous photos featuring some really unique postures. She's introduced me to a lot of new variations! And she's in the PNW!


Megan Lawing (@northcarolina_yogagirl)
Megan has a beautiful practice, AND is from NC!

Meghan Currie (@meghancurrieyoga)
Meghan's practice is so playful and unique. I love love love the videos she posts!

Liz Arch (@lizarch)
Liz's practice is seriously gorgeous! She also kickboxes, so the extension she can get through her legs is so elegant. And never have I seen such straight handstands! 


Dylan Werner and Ashley Galvin (@dylanwerneryoga and @ashleygalvinyoga)
Such a fun yogi couple! Individually, their practices are inspiring. Together, their acro shots are awesome!




Dawn (@monkeymix)
Another host of #inspiredyogis, I love how playful and real Dawn is. Sometimes the poses the other hosts toss out there are darn hard, and she's upfront about how difficult it is, but always finds a variation and gorgeous shot! And again, she's so playful and fun with it all; it's so easy to love her!

@kathy0805
Kathy's dance background is definitely evident in her pictures and videos. She's so flexible and fluid in her movements. The poses she can flow between in her videos are so inspiring!



Patrick Beach and Carling Harps (@patrickbeach and @carlingnicole) 
I was lucky enough to meet and hang out some with Patrick and Carling here in Portland before they became professional vagabonds to tour and teach across the world. Such a cool and chill couple, with super inspiring practices. Patrick's inversion practice is renown, and for good reason… I love being able to follow their travels! 




Carmen Aguilar (@cyogalab)
Carmen has challenged me to try new variations of poses that I've never seen before or had the guts to try! She makes it look so easy when it's totally not, but includes instructions and variations with her photos.


@deemoi
This yogini posts some seriously gorgeous pictures with some great cues for poses and personally cathartic captions.

Jamie is always ready to #stopdropandyoga at any time! I LOVE it! 




Brooke Myers (@breathebrooke)
Brooke gets some seriously gorgeous #beachyoga shots!



Lora Hogan (@lora_hogan)
Lora's smile and energy simply shine in her pictures! And she always has something beautiful to say.



@thecookierunner
Another #stopdropandyoga fan! She finds some awesome street art to bust a pose!

  1. Never before taking Green drink I felt such immediate cleansing and calming. I can't even imagine how great I'll feel after months of use. So thankful I found these Green supplements. I cannot say enough good things about it.
