At YOGA Magazine, we believe yoga knows no boundaries—neither of geography, language, nor landscape. Which is why we are delighted to share a stunning visual journey that reflects this boundless spirit. The World is My Yoga Mat is a photographic odyssey born from the combined talents of yogi KAREN WILLMORE and her husband, award-winning photographer BEN WILLMORE (Author: Crafting the Landscape Photograph published by Rocky Nook and Founder: DigitalMastery.com and MastersAcademy.com) Together, they’ve created something far more than beautiful images of asanas in exotic places—they’ve crafted a moving meditation on global connection, stillness in motion, and the quiet unity between body, breath, and earth.
Spanning over a decade and 85 countries, this captivating series explores how a yoga mat—sometimes literal, often just a moment of grounded presence—can be unrolled anywhere, from the stone steps of Rome to the sun-drenched beaches of the Maldives. With Karen’s decades of yoga practice and poise meeting Ben’s eye for composition and light, each image is both a yoga pose and a postcard, inviting us to view the world with deeper awareness.
What began as a personal project has become a testament to discipline, wanderlust, and the enduring power of practice. In these pages, we showcase a curated selection from the Willmores’ collection—each photograph a fusion of movement, stillness, and place. These aren’t just pictures; they’re visual mantras echoing the universal truth: wherever you are, the world is your yoga mat.
