Politicians undoubtedly have a pretty pressurised job.
Whether it's policy making, international diplomacy, or protecting their reputation in the media, it's a lifestyle that is fully switched on and often slap-bang in the spotlight.
So surely they need to find some down-time and ways to help re-focus on the multiple tasks at hand. And what better way to wind-down than partaking in a solid session of yoga?
The sport should be a perfect foil for politicians through its combination of inclusiveness, relaxation, wisdom, and strength.
Justin Trudeau, prime minister of Canada, is famed for having a penchant for pulling a spectacular pose, while India prime minister Narendra Modi is also a huge advocate.
And now the creative community at DesginCrowd has imagined going behind the scenes to capture other political figures in more serene moments.
