19 Philly Yogis You Should Totally Follow on Instagram

Sometimes, when we’re feeling pretty uninspired for healthy meals or smart workouts, we turn to Instagram for inspiration. And why not? It’s a source of gorgeous photograph, and it’s a platform where the fitness pros can share their wisdom right to your phone.

That said, Philly is filled with inspiring yogis who keep us motivated and informed. Here are 17 of them that you should totally be following — if you aren’t already.

Mariel Freeman

Yoga is about love. Yoga has taught me – and constantly reminds me – to live with all my heart and to love with all my life. This is the promise that I offer to myself and all those around me everyday. I mean it when I say I love you. The divine in me, that loves me, recognizes itself in you, and loves you too. ❤️❤️❤️ . . @kikivonglinow . #radicalselflove #youarelove #divinelove #consciouslove #loveyourself #believeinlove #spreadlove #ekapadarajakapotasana #mineyourdepths #strikegold #selfworth #followyourheart #anahatachakra

Still feelin’ victorious. Let’s celebrate our wins through some practice. . 12pm-1pm @colorspacelabs !! . . It’s super easy to recall/ruminate on the losses. In fact, it’s our tendency (obsolete survival tactic). Which makes it real important to search for + even purposefully reflect on the victories: especially the small stuff. I for one tend to harp on the near-misses or seeming failures but I’m working (kinda hard) to celebrate what I once saw as the small stuff – when things go right!! It felt weird at first but it’s getting easier. And it’s making me annoyingly in a good mood some days. Just ask @stephillyirwin Proof that we CAN carve new neuro pathways and begin to see things a bit more positively. Until then, we enjoy the journey in our color-changing studio which will give you your dose of warm glowyness, even if you don’t have your rose colored glasses today. K spiel over. See you soon!?
