Canadian Prime Minister Does Yoga In The Office, Just Say He’s The Perfect Man Already!
As if his good looks was not enough to put him in the global spotlight after being elected as Canada’s prime minister, his heartwarming photos greeting Syrian refugees surfaced and melted us all, and then of course more women loved him after he proudly professed himself a feminist.
It really looks like Justin Trudeau, can seemingly do no wrong.
Now, the latest outburst of Trudeaumania has come from his apparent prowess at yoga, making the world swoon once again.
A picture has gone viral on the Internet showing the athletic man balancing on his wrists on a conference table while keeping his body straight in the yoga pose Mayurasana (or known as a peacock pose).
According to subtleyoga.com, “Mayurasana is more than just an impress-your-friends-at-parties yoga pose. It is one of the original Hatha Yoga practices — one of the first 15 poses ever written down.”
The picture was taken in 2013 by freelance photographer Gregory Kolz around the time Trudeau was running for Liberal Party leader, but why is it only viral now?
Toronto yoga teacher David Gellineau is responsible for posting it on Facebook, "Canada's Prime MInister #justintrudeau- practicing #mayurasana. Didn't we say...#canadalovesyoga," he wrote on the social network.
Well, if you thought that was impressive, Trudeau might have just learned it from the best, his wife, Sophie who is a certified yoga instructor.

Or, from his late father, the former Canadian prime minister Pierre Trudeau, who himself was an avid practitioner of yoga.
Trudeau admitted in a 2013 CBC interview, that he could do the same pose that his father did in a 1970s photograph: “Not on the floor, but I do it on railings and on the edge of tables, and stuff. I used to do it an awful lot when I was younger. Now that I’ve hit 40, I’m not quite as able to do it as I used to be.”
Well then, that explains the 'political peacocking' in his office!
