If you haven't done so yet, it's time to check out the Instagram account,
@Nude_YogaGirl.
The account is run by a 25-year-old photographer, model and yogi who shares images of herself doing yoga—nude, as advertised.
"I want to inspire people to try yoga and maybe they can also find the acceptance of their body from there, because I did so."
According to
The Cut, Nude Yoga Girl takes her photographs in a small studio space in her home. Her boyfriend helps with the shots.
"I'm very inspired by yoga and photography so I wanted to bring the two of them together in a pure way," she tells SELF.
She also uses the account to spread the message that yoga is for everyone.
"It doesn't matter if you are overweight, inflexible, not sporty...or if you can't sit down, relax and listen to your breath," she writes in one Instagram caption.
She tells SELF that the reactions to her account have been "amazing."
"I'm very happy that people have understood my art and my account's message in the right way," she says.
Nude Yoga Girl hopes that her Instagram will inspire people to try loving themselves.
"I want people to understand that our feeling inside is everything," she tells SELF. "Not how we look on the outside."
"This is my way of expressing art," the woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, tells SELF.
