Diversity in Yoga

After research within Manchester, I learned many people were afraid to try Yoga because of the perceived glamorised perfect bendy yoga body on social media. I decided to showcase the diverse people that are teaching yoga and their reasons for coming to the practice of Yoga to show its deeper meaning and benefits. I photographed and filmed 14 yoga teachers. 5 of which are not on social media and held 1 yoga event and class in a public space during the month of the exhibition. The aim was to build up a diverse image of Yoga as a way of encouraging those to try it for themselves no matter their physical appearance, background or reasoning.
