Her yoga journey was borne out of the desire to live a healthy lifestyle and have good nutrition.

She organises yoga classes for her followers which I believe is a good place to start yoga classes online.

@mynameisjessamyn
Jessamyn Stanley is a yoga girl that posts a ton of body positivity and inspiration for those who get scared at the mention of yoga. Her Instagram feed is always filled with yoga poses and body movement to motivate people who are interested in yoga.
She authored a book titled 'Every Body Yoga", which contains about 50 simple poses and various sequences that any yoga enthusiast can practice at home.
One unique thing about Jessamyn's book that makes it stand out from others in the niche is that it focuses on the feelings you get from yoga rather than dwelling on how it makes one look. The book fosters body positivity and love, and most people like it so much because it is quite different from the regular yoga book you get elsewhere.
It is not surprising at all how she managed to get a follower base of more than 400k on Instagram because she focuses on the major things about yoga.
The majority of the followers on Instagram prefer real posts that are motivating and filled with personality. This makes them want to try out some of the advanced yoga postures and this is exactly what you get when you follow Jessamyn.
Whether you are a beginner or advanced yogis, you definitely will learn one or two from the regular posts she posts on her feed. Her posts will inspire you to want to try some crazy poses.

@esthermarieyoga
If your aim of learning yoga is to fight anxiety and depression, then following Esther would be a nice one. Although her niche is yoga, she tries not to limit herself to just an area. She covers a wide range of things that need to be known about yoga.
If you visit her page on Instagram, you will definitely be tempted to try out some poses - those poses that help strengthen the arms and help cool down after a run. Following her tutorials on Instagram is also a great way to strengthen your abs.
What I like about her page is that the yoga exercises are beautifully presented in an amazing theme. She is so stylish to the extent of having an array of yoga mats that match her theme, something Instagram really cherish.
Esther is a yoga teacher that is based in London and known for constantly releasing amazing content to her followers. She sometimes does live posts where she features her dog known as Sonny.
She has a follower base of about 80k and you could see from the engagement rate of her content that her followers really support her. Her major concern is to help people overcome stress and anxiety that usually befall us at some points in our lives.
