Wanderlust: it seems to occur more often among yogis than just about anyone else. Perhaps it’s our appreciation of the present moment, or the spirit of adventure that develops when you push yourself to master new poses. Whatever the reason, many of us yogis are true wanderlusters at heart, as the many traveling yogis on Instagram prove!
If you find your mind wandering to far-off destinations when you close your eyes for Savasana, then you will love these Instagram feeds. But fair warning: you might find yourself obsessively searching for airfares after looking at these photos!
