"My biggest issue in the past was that I saw faults in my body all the time, and that made it impossible for me to love myself fully. The way you look doesn't matter — anybody can see faults and have that feeling of not liking themselves," the Instagram sensation told The Cut.

"With my account, I want to inspire people to realize that everybody is very beautiful and capable of [doing] amazing things with their bodies. Yoga helped me accept my body exactly the way it is. Nowadays, people can easily get a very false idea of ideal beauty and what nudity truly means because it's shown mostly in a sexual and unrealistic way."

Using light and shadow to her advantage, Nude Yoga Girl is able to tastefully conceal her private parts as she complies with Instagram's "no nudity" rules.

After she sets up her shot, the yoga enthusiast then contorts her body into incredible poses and waits for her boyfriend to capture the moment. The resulting image is then posted on Instagram, along with words of wisdom and tips for living a happy life.
