My yoga queen

I'm excited to share some photographs of @flowerbaby that I captured recently. These are from our yoga practice on Magic Island last weekend. You may have already watched my video of us doing yoga together, but if you have not you can view that here.

With this post, I wish to focus exclusively on her. She nails every pose I see her do, her body and form just seem to know what is needed. If I were lucky enough to get to go to her classes, then I would definitely think that she knows what she is doing as a teacher just from watching her practice. Speaking of her classes, she just got her first review and what do you know, it was five stars.

I'm so proud of her for pushing herself to be a leader in a class setting. I know that normally it is not something she would choose to do. Having to talk to strangers isn't always the easiest thing, especially when they are looking to you for guidance. Now that she is instructing new people regularly, I think it will be great for her to get more comfortable with opening up to the public. I already knew she had it in her, it was just a matter of time before she really started to blossom into a social butterfly.

I still have yet to get the chance to go to one of her classes, but I know I will eventually. By that time I'm sure teaching will be routine to her and I will get to witness her true glory. I look forward to that day, but until then I am happy that she gets to gain more experience teaching her students.

I can remember years ago dreaming of having a girlfriend that taught yoga. Spring forward to the present day and I am living my dream. I think that if a person realizes how good yoga is for them, then they must be pretty wise. It took me at least 20 years before I understood that yoga is something that helps the body/mind/spirit thrive.

I think that these photographs I took of her turned out pretty fabulous. The sun was beginning to set, making for an elegant background combined with the Kanawha River. Add in my gorgeous subject and all I had to do was point, frame, and shoot.

I think that when @flowerbaby continues to do yoga, she will surely keep having the banging body that she currently does. Of course, I will love her either way, but it sure is a nice bonus to have a lady that looks this sexy.

I understand that she will continue to build strength the more she does yoga. Some moves require tremendous effort, often they are easier for men whose bodies have more muscle naturally. Women definitely seem to have better flexibility, but honestly, both sexes are capable of some amazing things in yoga. It is thrilling to watch a person progress, especially someone that you hold near and dear to your heart.

I can picture @flowerbaby coming up with some really unique ideas for her classes. She has always been super creative ever since I have known her. Her yoga routine has limitless potential. Any student who gets the opporunity to practice with her is one blessed soul.

Where we live here in Charleston, WV isn't considered a yoga capital by any means. Thankfully we do at least have multiple studios here now. I look back to the past when I struggled to find more than one or two studios to choose from. It will be exciting to see if she chooses to continue to teach at Yoga Power. Perhaps other opportunities will arise and she will branch out to new studios. I know one of her goals is to eventually teach SUP (Stand up paddleboard) yoga classes.

No matter what she chooses to do with her yoga certification, I know that she will be successful with it. I believe in her to do an exceptional job of helping others learn to love their yoga practice. That to me is monumental, having the ability to change lives one by one.

Enough of me rambling about my loyal girlfriend. I will leave you with this last photo of her intensively enjoying her pigeon pose. Just look at that pretty face, so darn focused.
