JP Sears is one of two accounts that I actually subscribe to on YouTube (the other is TJ Townsend). There's a good chance that you've seen his videos shared on Facebook before, most likely his one making fun of essential oils or his more recent one titled "If Meat Eaters Acted Like Vegans." This video, however, might be my new favorite as he takes us through some best practices for photographing your yoga poses for Instagram.
Watching this video, I couldn't help but remember the woman who was arrested last year for taking yoga photos on a Metro train track. The best comedy pokes fun at reality, and by spending just a few minutes clicking through yoga related hashtags on Instagram you can see just how on point JP Sears is in his lampooning of the trend. Headstands in wildly uncomfortable looking locations? Check. Cobra pose on a log in the woods? Check. Warrior Two on a cliff as the sun sets and waves crash against the rocks and eagles make wild passionate love as they fall from the sky in the background of your shot? Check.
Don't get me wrong, I do yoga. It's a really great exercise tool, but you will never catch me doing a pose on a paddleboard as a dude on a wakeboard goes flying over me. No sir, you will not.
Made me laugh out loud.
"There’s nothing more relaxing than doing yoga on a jagged rock in a dangerous location."
Those pants are too much...
"My Instagram Yoga Art is all about helping people discover their inner beauty and helping them live to their fullest potential. The best way i can accomplish this is by desperately seeking as much attention as possible on Instagram... Hashtag 'Yoga', Hashtag 'Yoga Art', Hashtag 'Yoga Life'..."
This video was hilariously perfect in every way possible. Definitely my favorite humor article thus far here on Fstoppers.
