In honour of International Yoga Day, we’re taking a look at international personalities like singer Beyonce, actor Reese Witherspoon and US president Donald Trump’s fashion designer daughter Ivanka, who love showing off their yoga skills on social media.

The first International Day of Yoga or simply Yoga Day was celebrated on June 21, 2015. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you already know this.

But did you know that this age-old Indian practice has become especially popular amongst the celebrity sect? And we’re talking international.

There’s been an upswing of celebs and common folk alike from the West, who are using Instagram to share their yoga moves. Seriously, we can’t stop marvelling at the insane asanas mastered by models Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Miranda Kerr and actor Reese Witherspoon.

So, take a deep breath and see what these celeb yogis have been upto. Yoga-spiration alert!
