8 Inspiring Yoga Instagram Influencers to Follow in 2023
Yoga has proven itself to be one of the most popular forms of exercise to date, with around 300 million said to be practising worldwide. Not only does it provide physical benefits, but many have also raved about the mental benefits it can provide as well.
The evolution of yoga has even seen dogs and goats incorporated into classes which is said to provide added benefits such as the flow of energy between the dog and owner.
So its no surprise that with the rise in popularity, yoga instructors and enthusiasts have been influencing the public through social media, gaining thousands, even millions of followers in the process.
