A mysterious social media star has inspired women of all shapes and sizes to post photos of themselves doing yoga in the nude as a way to celebrate their bodies.
Nude Yoga Girl, who has not revealed her name online, has accumulated more than 660,000 Instagram followers in two years by posting photos of herself practicing yoga naked.
The 26-year-old model's pictures, which have found artistic ways around the social media platform's nudity policy, have now inspired people around the world to follow suit under the hashtag NYGyoga, created by Nude Yoga Girl herself.
During her first month on Instagram, Nude Yoga Girl attracted an impressive 33,000 followers. In addition to her photos, they enjoyed her long captions, in which she opened up about her own difficulties to accept certain aspects of her body, such as her height.
'The account is anonymous, but I still want to be close with my followers, and I try to do it with my captions,' the model, who has revealed English is not her first language, told The Cut during a previous email interview.
Nude Yoga Girl began shooting her photos in a small studio at her home, with the help of her boyfriend.
She has since experimented with various locations and, while her pictures were initially all posted in black and white, she has since started sharing colored snaps as well.
The model has said she only uses Photoshop to remove certain elements that would go against Instagram's guidelines, such as nipples.
