🌿 New Release — Yoga Asana Photography by Michelle Rae Sobi
I’m so grateful to share the release of my newest work, **Yoga Asana Photography** — a reflective exploration of how the body, breath, and nervous system live inside each posture, and how photography can honor those moments with compassion and integrity.
This book was created from years of practice, teaching, and image‑making — from quiet observation in the studio, long editing sessions, and many thoughtful conversations about alignment, embodiment, and what it truly means to “see” a yoga posture without turning it into performance.
Rather than presenting yoga as shapes or achievement, this work invites a slower way of looking — one that values safety, honesty, grounded presence, and the deeply personal relationship each practitioner has with their body.
It is written for:
• yoga teachers and practitioners
• movement photographers
• anatomy‑curious creatives
• anyone who values mindful, non‑performative practice
Each chapter is paired with a black‑and‑white study image and written as a companion to lived experience rather than a technical manual.
📖 How to Read the Book
This is a book meant to be read slowly — one chapter, one photograph, one reflection at a time.
You may enter anywhere your curiosity leads.
Some readers begin with alignment, load, and anatomy‑informed observation.
Others begin with:
• ethics and consent
• transitions and pauses
• presence and emotional tone
• the relationship between movement and support
There is no single correct path — only awareness.
💻 Don’t Have iBooks? You Can Download the PDF
The book is available in two formats:
✔️ iBooks Edition — ideal for Apple devices
✔️ Printable PDF Download — for those without iBooks or who prefer desktop viewing
If you don’t use iBooks — no worries at all.
You may simply download the PDF version and enjoy the work from any device.
✨ A Note of Gratitude
To every yogi who stepped in front of the lens with courage, tenderness, and honesty — this book exists because of you.
Your practice, presence, and lived wisdom informed every page.
Thank you for trusting the process, for allowing real bodies and real practice to be seen — and for reminding us that strength and compassion can coexist inside every posture.
📬 Call to Action
If this work resonates with you, I’d love for you to read the book, sit with the reflections, and share which chapter speaks to your practice right now. If you don’t use iBooks, you may download the PDF version and read from any device. Feel free to share the link with a friend, a fellow yogi, or a photographer who would appreciate a more compassionate way of seeing the body.

🪷 In light, Michelle Rae Sobi
