I joined Instagram in May 2015 and you can check out all my recent yoga and dance photos on my account @gracelingyu.

July 2014 – Photos Taken by James Yu in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

One of my favorite photos because the tide swept in perfectly to surround the rock I was on!

Hello hello! I love vacation!

Yoga on vacation is necessary when you have beautiful surroundings!

A little bit tough on the hands when you’re balancing on a rough and slippery rock!

Trying to be vertical with the building behind!

It’s easy to keep your head lifted when there’s pigeon poop right in front of your face!

It’s never too young to start yoga!

“Please don’t fall into the fountain, please don’t fall into the fountain…”

Love the view of the buildings from Yerba Buena Center!

Warrior 2 with nothing but beautiful water and islands in front of my gaze…

Taking a chance with Crow-on-a-cliff!

Appreciating beautiful Australia skies in Extended side angle.

I’d love to have this bench setting in my backyard…

An arm and leg hold variation in Balancing Half Moon.

I see you. I honor you. I respect you.

Love love love arm balances! Great for the core, upper body, and mentally challenging.

My first real “headshot” photo.

Note to self: Forearm balance on a sandy/rocky/gravel-y path is not pleasant on the forearms…

Trying to match the angle of the tree behind me!

At any moment in our lives, there is always something we can smile about.

Honoring the gift of movement.

Dancer Pose: grounding down, reaching forward, and stretching up.

I like making up my own yoga poses. This one is Upside Down Forward Fold Hanging From a Wobbly Tree Branch.

You have to take a “Jumping Picture” everywhere you go. Why not in a beautiful blooming Spring Garden?

Cherry blossoms are my favorite springtime flowers!

You can see my “third eye!”

My toes used to touch my head so effortlessly… when I was 3 years old.

These bars were too hard to resist “striking a pose.”

Just another tree sprouting from the ground =)

Arms and legs can be interchangeable =)

Standing and back-bending at the same time… takes a lot of effort!

There’s nothing like being able to meditate upside down (even when your head hurts a bit on the stone…).

Finding a bit of peace and serenity in nature.

One of my favorite handstand leg variations – the double stag.

Getting ready to film my first DVD shoot for Peak 10 Cardio Strength Remix!

August 2011 – Photos Taken By Picture People in San Jose, CA

Babies like to be right-side up =)

8 months pregnant variation of Pigeon Pose.

8 months pregnant and still practicing yoga!

July 2011 – Photos Taken By Mr. Liu in Campbell, CA

Lisa Liu (8 months pregnant) and I (7 months pregnant) practiced yoga with Sherry Han to stay healthy!

A pair of pigeons with their proud mama!

Acro-Yoga – flying like superman!

A little bit of Acro Yoga with Sherry Han.

Double camel pose with Eagle arms.

Babies almost kissing (or mamas…).

Who said you shouldn’t do inversions when you’re pregnant?

January 2011 – Photos Taken By James Yu in Cupertino, CA

Handstand!

I wouldn’t recommend trying Bakasana Crow Pose on top of the monkey bars…

Scorpion forearm balance on the lunch tables.

Headstands work in every setting =)

Although I’m smiling here, balancing in the splits on that rail was nerve-racking!

Upward Facing Dog is the perfect angle for this climbing ladder!
