Portrait of a Yogi | Toronto Yoga Photographer

One of the things I enjoy most is yoga. It is part of my daily routine (…er, well, almost) and is, in part, responsible for my sanity. So I’m sure you can imagine that I was elated when Jonny Belinko, one of my favourite instructors, asked me to shoot some pictures of him practicing yoga for his new Yoga Instructional DVD, based on Shri. K. Pattabhi Jois’ Primary Ashtanga Series. Jonny is a natural teacher and you can’t help get sucked into loving him and his classes. Jonny teaches at many studios around Toronto including my favourite, Iam Yoga.

Before we started the shoot we went for coffee. Jonny starts each morning off with a cup of espresso. We went to Manic Coffee on College Street, one of the best coffee shops in Toronto.

Hilary - Yoga in jeans = impossible! Does he have the yoga jeans? I agree, shavasna is my favourite, although I highly enjoy sun salutations :)

Rachel (Alive in the Fire) - AHHHH I love this! I may even post it on my blog and totally give you credit, of course. Beautiful. If you could ask Jonny to check out my site and submit his story to my latest series that would be WONDERFUL. (It’s called Real Men Do Yoga :)

Namaste,
