Lately, I’ve noticed so many athletes and fitness enthusiasts posting yoga poses on social media as part of their recovery routines. While the photos are often striking, I’m curious if there’s more to it than just looking good online. From my own experience in lighting design, I know how visuals can shape perceptions, but I wonder how much of yoga’s popularity in recovery is due to genuine benefits versus its photogenic appeal. Has anyone here incorporated yoga into their recovery and felt tangible improvements in flexibility or reduced soreness? I’d love to hear what’s worked for you and whether the practice lives up to the hype beyond the Instagram feed.
