One of the most undoubtedly relaxing parts of yoga is the ending Shavasana. This pose, the final one of your practice, is meant to rejuvenate, giving you newfound energy to tackle what life gives you next.
That inspiration can also be found in quotes, stories and pictures to get you moving and stretching. Follow these motivational yogis on Instagram for serious encouragement and renewal when you maybe can’t make it to yoga class.
