Yoga, the way bored soccer moms pass that time in the middle of the day when there’s nothing good on telly.

Yoga, that two week course you just did in India doesn’t actually mean you’re a certified Master who should teach.

Yoga, there is nothing zen about trying to look zen, taking a photo of you trying to be zen and proving your zen on Instagram.

But we joke, because in its purest form it’s actually a pretty epic way to stay healthy, hone your mental focus and relieve everyday stress. Not that everyone looks like a million bucks whilst doing it, something that prompted one guy to bust out the camera. Metro reports:

Yoga can be a sweaty, grunty mess, and that’s the reality which American photographer Jonah Sargent is hoping to capture in his coffee table book Faces Of Yoga.

The 25-year-old took pictures at hot yoga classes in Minnesota and Berlin.

Talking about how he chose the final images for the book, he explained: ‘I kept only the shots that made me feel the most uncomfortable.’

Time for some serious face pulling…

I think you could rename this book ‘Faces People Pull In The Bedroom’ and no one would be able to spot the difference.

Happy yoga to you all, if those opening few sentences made you angry take a few deep breaths and stretch it out.
