Accent Photographics has teamed up with Indigo Wellness, a yoga studio in Moline, Illinois, to produce a Men of Yoga 2009 calendar. Why? Because there is a growing number of men practicing this healthy and spiritual form of exercise in Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois. Although most images of yoga are of women practicing, what people may not know is that yoga was practiced ONLY by men in India, where this form of exercise orginated. Yoga has numerous health benefits to men (and women), and we are excited about introducing this calendar to showcase its benefits (as well as some good-looking guys – I won’t lie!!). The images in the calendar will feature all local men who practice yoga regularly. Some are instructors at Indigo, some are yogis who are students at Indigo or the Davenport School of yoga.
Here are a few of my favorite images from the shoots for this project.
Brian doing Triangle Pose
Brian and Evan do Warrior 2 around Jeff, demonstrating a headstand
Lars does Tree Pose
Jeff shows the Warrior 3 pose
