The best yogis to follow on Instagram

@beachyogagirl aka Dream Lifestyle Yogi

Kerri Verna lives by the beach and posts daily, envy-inducing (not very yogi, we know. We're working on it) snaps of everything from acro yoga to handstands, often featuring her (very cute) dog.

@gypsetgoddess aka Flexi Yogi

This Arizona-based global nomad does everything from meditate on top of an elephant (as you do) to handstand atop a mountain. We're most impressed by her standing splits.

@iamjessicaskye aka DJ Yoga

When she's not teaching yoga, Jessica Skye moonlights as a DJ at Shoreditch House. She's also an NTC trainer for Nike.

Fact: The ELLE team are all smitten.

@kinoyoga aka The Human Pretzel

Kino Macgregor is a self-confessed bad ashtangi ('I wear short shorts and mascara'). But who cares when her movements are this strong and fluid, and her posts so motivational.

@patrickbeach aka Hipster Yogi

Do you like hot, beardy men and cute cats? Then you'll love Patrick Beach. Warning: his fondness for a topless arm balance may leave you feeling a bit flustered.

@boysofyoga aka Boys. Doing Yoga

'Some guys think that yoga makes you less of a man. The truth is, it makes you a better one.'

So goes the motto of Boys Of Yoga, a collective of male teachers on a mission to prove that yoga isn't just for girls. We couldn't agree more.

@the_southern_yogi aka Abs

Barista by day, trainee yoga teacher Morgan DeYoung posts frequent updates of her yogi journey to her 28k (and counting) Instagram followers. Interspersed with pictures of climbing, food and cute dogs, her account will make you smile.

@yoga_girl  aka Surfer Yogi

Perhaps the most famous yogi on Instagram, Yoga Girl, aka Rachel Brethen, lives in Hawaii but travels the world to spread her yoga message. 

Did you know? She founded SUP Yoga and coined the  hashtag #yogaeverydamnday.
