Naked Yoga Girl You Single-Posedly Shifted My Perspective On The Female Body Image
I only wish I could be as feminist and centered as you
Dear Naked Yoga Girl,
You accidentally showed up — spread eagle — in my Instagram feed a few weeks ago. At first, I was startled to see your tan, toned butt cheeks pressed ever so gently against a wooden dock in Bali while a phallus-shaped tree lingered in the background. But upon further inspection, I realized you were simply trying to juxtapose the naturalness of your naked body with the carefully crafted surroundings. You also managed to do this empowering move while adhering to Instagram’s strict user guidelines. So freaking inspirational.
Since our serendipitous meet cute, you have really shifted my perspective on female body image. And your words of wisdom leave me feeling #blessed whenever I am fortunate enough to read them. Like the time you posted that image of you floating in a pond in India with the caption:
“Mother Teresa said: ‘I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.’ I love this kind of thinking. There is a ripple effect in everything. Together we can make change happen.”
