Johanna Korantzopoulou
Johanna Korantzopoulou is a yoga instructor whose practice embodies the perfect balance of strength, grace, and inner power. Through this photography series of yoga portraits, my artistic goal was to go beyond documenting physical poses — I wanted to visually express the quiet force, resilience, and feminine energy that define Johanna’s presence on and off the mat.
I believe that yoga photography must capture not just movement, but emotion. Johanna moved with a seamless flow, demonstrating how each posture is not merely a shape, but a living expression of breath, intention, and self-awareness. With each image, I sought to translate the subtle connection between body, mind, and spirit into an artistic narrative that celebrates the transformative power of yoga.
A central element of this project was highlighting woman power in yoga — the way feminine strength expresses itself through both softness and intensity, through vulnerability and discipline. Johanna’s energy in front of the camera is magnetic: strong yet fluid and confident. This duality is something I strive to bring out in all this yoga photography work, crafting portraits that honor not only physical form but also personal journey and inner resilience.
The setting we chose was intentionally minimal, allowing natural light and movement to shape the atmosphere. Every detail — from the curve of the hands to the extension of the spine — was composed to reflect the artistry inherent in yoga practice. As a photographer, I am always drawn to projects where I can merge technical precision with emotional depth, and this collaboration with Johanna offered exactly that.

Every day we are trying to have a better life or a better quality of life. We are working more and more trying to create things we want, things that will make us happy.
The last year I considered that the most important thing is our self. If you haven’t good health in your body and soul and if you don’t take care of them, you can't have or enjoy, or love anything else. That’s why I loved yoga. Yoga is the combine of body and mind, is the total balance of your self. My Teacher in yoga, Fotini Bitrou, decided to publish all this staff and share them on the web. She created a website named www.purefitness.gr and cooperated with me for the pictures of the website content.
