I'm thinking salt in weird places. :D I'm sorry, it's a beautiful shot, but that's what I'm thinking. X)
Such a beautiful and graceful person. Am happy you found your way back. Can't even Imagine how hard it must've been.
So makes me want to do yoga. Beautiful serenity in all pictures, and a body to boot. Beautiful and admirable.
Ok, that must be one of the daftest titles on the whole website. It makes it sound as if the pictures of that lady cure mental illness - and I had to laugh out loud when I read Konstantins Jaunzems comment.The pics are good, the poses impressive and nicely staged, no sunset (which is a bonus), minus points for the flowery crotch decor. The story behind the pictures is good, but Bored Panda really does need some new copywriters.
usually when i get mental i just watch naked ladies in weird poses...that's really helpful
