At Regi’s yoga photoshoot, we just caught the last of the summer sun before autumn really set in. Then the heavens opened & the trees lost their greenery. Luckily the late afternoon light was perfect to capture the relaxed, meditative images of Yoga Nidra.
Regi is a yoga teacher & instructor at Yoga Orchid & a newly qualified hypnotherapist. This yoga photoshoot was designed to update her brand photography. And was to include a series of headshots, yoga poses & illustrative images for ongoing social media marketing & refreshing her website.
The main focus was Yoga Nidra, Pranayama (breathing – a new word for me!) & meditation. Which set the scene for a calm & serene shoot!
Like many fitness instructors, Regi moved her yoga classes online during the Coronavirus pandemic. This opened up new opportunities for her & she now partners with an American company offering worldwide online yoga tutorials. This has made her classes accessible to many more people & she wanted an element of online teaching represented in her images.
Her dog regularly makes an appearance in the online classes. When he sat on her mat as we were shooting we carried on taking photos. He soon wandered off again!
We also shot some simple images of various yoga poses that Regi could use to illustrate asanas to her students.
Regi has recently qualified as a hypnotherapist. She also wanted headshots & branding images that could be used in a business setting. Aka, not wearing lycra! She roped in one of her clients to come & model for us.
Ending the shoot with some relaxing Yoga Nidra, the dog joining in again!
