Whether or not you practice yoga, you have to admit that yogis are some of the most interesting people to follow on Instagram. While many influencers’ feeds are full of photos taken inside the same gym every single day, yogis do movements that most lifters could never imagine and often take their followers to the great outdoors and to countries around the world. You may never end up on a scenic yoga retreat, but you can at least take inspiration from them.
