When planning your Yoga or Pilates photoshoot, what you wear plays a huge role in how you feel and how your energy translates into the images. Your clothing should not only reflect your brand and personal style but also allow you to move freely and express yourself authentically.

1. Aligning Colours with Your Energy & Brand

As a yoga or Pilates teacher, your practice has its own unique essence. Are you drawn to earthy tones that reflect grounding and stability? Or do you love vibrant colours that express joy and vitality? Perhaps soft neutrals feel most like you—calm, elegant, and minimal.

Think about the message you want to convey:

  • Warm tones (reds, oranges, yellows): Energy, passion, warmth
  • Cool tones (blues, greens, purples): Calm, balance, serenity
  • Neutrals (white, beige, grey, black): Timeless, minimalist, sophisticated

Also, consider where you’ll be shooting—outdoor locations like forests and beaches work beautifully with soft, nature-inspired hues, while a studio setting can handle bolder contrasts.

2. Comfort Meets Aesthetics

Your outfit should allow you to move with ease. Flowy fabrics might look beautiful in meditation shots, while fitted activewear works well for showcasing strength and alignment in asanas or Pilates movements.

Here are some things to keep in mind:
✅ Choose breathable fabrics that feel good on your skin
✅ Avoid large logos or distracting patterns (unless they’re part of your brand)
✅ Layer up – a light cover-up or shawl can add variety to your shoot
✅ Bring options – 2-3 outfits can help create different looks

3. Outfit Ideas Based on Yoga & Pilates Styles
  • For Vinyasa/Flow yoga teachers → Soft, lightweight, and breathable outfits that move with you
  • For Hatha or Yin yoga teachers → Flowy layers, comfortable fabrics, and muted tones
  • For Pilates instructors → Elegant and structured activewear that shows clean lines and posture
  • For Meditation teachers → Neutral, soft, and grounding colours, perhaps with a cosy shawl
4. Embodying Your Presence

At the end of the day, the best outfit is the one that makes you feel you. When you step onto your mat – whether in front of your students or a camera – you bring your energy, your practice and your unique teaching style. Wear what enhances your confidence, and your presence will shine through effortlessly.

Finding Your Flow – Choosing the Right Colours and Outfits for Your Yoga Photoshoot

2/24/2025

Hey gorgeous!

I'm Kris.

Welcome to my world where I offer you a safe space to express yourself in your most vibrant, honest and genuine way.

meet me

Photographer. Storyteller. Yoga Teacher.

My mission is to help Yoga teachers and Wellness Businesses magnetise their dream clients through imagery that speaks, inspires and connects.

In every photoshoot, I create a supportive and soulful experience where my clients feel empowered to embody their truth, embrace their authenticity and bring their vision to life.

"I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the results. I feel so good and it's captured so beautifully. Like an art."

I was looking for a photographer who could make great pictures of me because Im a yoga teacher and needed new professional material for my social media. I felt so comfortable during the whole shoot. Kris really knows how to make you feel good and she gives great cues. The energy was so amazing. 
I'll definitely be using the pictures for months to advertise my teaching in social media. 
I loved every second of our photoshoot.

"Her professionalism, creativity, and warm demeanor made the entire experience stress-free and resulted in beautiful images."

I had an amazing experience working with Kris, a talented photographer, for my well being branding photoshoot. From the beginning, she was friendly and made the process enjoyable.

She listened attentively to my vision, provided clear guidance during the shoot, and created stunning photos that captured the essence of my brand.

I highly recommend Kris photography for any branding photoshoot, especially for those in the wellbeing industry and beyond.

"She is very patient, creative and enthusiastic about her work - something I always look for in a professional photographer."

"Very much enjoyed my photo session with Krisztina. 
My yoga pictures were taken on a sunny day predominantly in St James park. Krisztina discovered some really cool spots, came up with innovative ideas and was also receptive to mine. Being a yogi herself, she recognised the poses I was doing and was able to capture the full expression of my asanas.

Overall, I had a very pleasant experience and would love to do another photoshoot with Krisztina in the future. And I can only recommend you do the same.
