Kerry Washington’s At-Home Yoga Tutorials Are Like a Soothing Escape For the Mind

Ever wish Kerry Washington could be your yoga instructor? Well, she actually can be — virtually, of course. Since mid-May, the Little Fires Everywhere actress has been blessing her Instagram followers with at-home yoga tutorials, each shot in her woodsy backyard. She always reminds fans that she’s not technically a certified yoga teacher before launching into her flows, which typically consist of breathwork, stretching exercises, and a mix of simple, beginner-appropriate poses. Her soothing voice is sure to make you feel instantly relaxed as she works her way through each move.
