Instagram is not just about pretty food pictures! Here are four amazing Indian women yoginis whose Instagram profile will leave you with a serious case of yoga-love.
Yoga is one of the truly holistic activities which India has gifted to the world. And to make us feel prouder, Yoga was listed as an Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in 2016 (yes, one of those few cases where the UNESCO mention was true, not a fake Whatsapp forward!)
International Yoga Day is celebrated annually on June 21st, and it’s become the occasion for a renewed interest in Yoga as both fitness and spiritual practice.
Yoga accounts have become addictive because of the idyllic settings, astonishing positions and let me not forget to mention…often, some beautiful outfits too! Today, besides a teacher in your own neighbourhood, there are also some amazing Indian women yoginis who provide us our daily dose of inspiration, efficacious mantras and of course, jaw dropping pictures.
