Yoga in illustrations
Illustrator Adriana Rodriguez Leon has come up with a cute character, on whose behalf she shares her experience regarding practices. She talks about the difficulties she had to face at the very beginning when practicing one or another asana. She also regularly posts touching illustrations, where she writes in detail how yoga changed her life and perception of the world.
Yoga in adulthood
Lotte Sebzde is 52 years old and actively practices yoga. By her example, she proves that you can practice in adulthood. Lotta has been in yoga for over 19 years and has captivated her loved ones with her lifestyle. In the video, you can often see her husband, who assists her in performing difficult asanas. She also sometimes studies with her grandson.
Yoga in real life
Ruslan Aliev works as a creative producer during the day and shoots cool promotional videos, and teaches yoga in the morning and evening. Ruslan's life and practice prove that it is possible to thoughtfully practice yoga, adhere to the principles of ahimsa (non-harm and reduce evil in the world), including vegetarianism, and help people in everyday life without retiring to distant ashrams and without giving up the challenges necessary for career growth.
Yoga beyond weight and size
Most of the popular yoginis on Instagram are fit and wiry girls with a good figure and phenomenal stretch. Such a picture often confuses and demotivates those who look different. Claire Fountain is the founder of Thrill Yoga, an online community that brings together people of irregular sizes. Despite its rounded shape, it captures highly aesthetic and educational content that motivates you to practice yoga at any weight.
Yoga as psychotherapy
Faith Hunter started yoga back in the 90s. Not because of fashion, but because of a family tragedy: she was looking for strength to survive the illness and death of her brother. In yoga, she was able to find support for herself and cope with these difficulties. Also, the practice of kundalini and vinyasa soon led her to meditation. Faith is now active socially through her experience in yoga - she created the Spiritually Fly center, where she helps to learn to live every moment, and she leads yoga retreats in Africa.>
