To me, one of the funniest, coolest, and yes, dorkiest things about us yogis is that we LOVE ourselves some good yoga pose photo opts. When traveling or visiting new places, we have no shame in taking every chance we can get for a quick yoga pose pic--cool statue? Do a yoga pose in front of it and take a pic! On top of an overlook? Do a yoga pose and take a pic! On the beach? Yoga pose time! The opportunities are endless ;)

So today, lets take a look at a few unique (and yes, some very typical) yoga pose photo opts that I found on the interwebs. I'm focusing on Natarajasana (Dancer Pose) because it's our "Asana of the Month" at the studio, so it's been on my mind lately. Plus, I think it's one of the most beautiful yoga poses around. 

So lets get to it! Here are some fun new ideas for places that you, too, should try popping into Dancer for a quick pic or two...

In your wedding dress on your wedding day (yes, that's her dress--she's a New Yorker):

If you didn't know what I was talking about before, NOW do you understand? 
In my mind, you can never have too much of a good thing--and yoga pose pics are definitely a good thing--so go get your asana on, and be sure to take a photo!

Just be careful not to dump into your low back when you come into this pose (sorry, the teacher in me couldn't resist...)!

Namaste,
Mary Catherine
