Motorcycle yoga is a thing now

Social media is a weird and wonderful thing. It can connect you with anybody anywhere in the world who happens to share the same interests as you, no matter how niche that interest is. And it turns out, there are a few people out there, on Instagram at least, that like to practice yoga on their motorcycles.

We doubt it’s going to catch on and become the next big thing, but it makes for some pretty interesting pictures, at least. Since it’s a long weekend we’re going to go practice some #motorcycleyoga.

This is perhaps the most impressive yoga pose we’ve seen on a motorcycle. I don’t know what it’s called, but it looks hard. I won’t be trying this one just yet.

I’ll give this one a miss, too.

This one looks achievable for a complete motorcycle yoga novice.

Nope, I’m definitely not flexible enough to pull this one off.

I think I could just about pull this one off. Although I’m starting to realise most of the bikes are on paddock or centre stands.

This is probably one of those that looks pretty easy but is actually really difficult to pull off. Extra points for the classic BMW.

Another one that looks relatively simple, but I’ll probably end up a quivering mess with terrible posture if I gave this one a go.

…pretty sure this WON’T be me, but #motorcycleyoga is a thing, right? heading up to #Whistler today for @wanderlustfest and to be with my sisters, @willow_blooms & @crystalrainbowyoga to #yoga & #dance & #liveitup!

There’s absolutely no chance of me pulling this off. Not even with the bike on a centre stand.

Just because something is strange, or uncomfortable…. It doesn’t mean you shouldn’t give it your best shot. Fall down. Get up. Feel awkward. Get stronger. Laugh at yourself. Laugh alone. Sigh outloud. Laugh with others. Look into someone’s eyes, and smile. #motorcycleyoga#yoga #yogi #yogainstructor #yogabody #yogaboss #orlando #downtownorlando #collegepark #orlandoculture #rebel #cmx250 #bnw #alexhalenda #havingfun #sunshine #sunshineinmysoul #asana #dancerspose #balance #strength #flexible #flexibility #harmony #belief #inspiration #peace #youcandoit #try #tryagain
