If you are looking for functional movement-based yogis who actually teach you something while you scroll through your feed, these are the accounts to follow! For the last five years since Yoga Girl's Instagram went to the roof with millions of Instagram followers, Instagram has exploded of inspiring yoga accounts wanting to share yoga photos and their knowledge of yoga health and fitness. Rachel Brathen Instagram is today a movement "Everyone can be a Yoga Girl." I want to lift accounts that don't have 2 million followers but have something really good and useful to share for a healthier and stronger body and mind.
