From Instagram to Inspiration: The Creation of Our Yoga Cards
I’m Vi, one of the Upgraded Us product designers and the encouraging voice behind @movewithzinsk on Instagram. I have a confession…
I hate to exercise!!! š«¢ Or at least, I did…
Let me back up a bit! For most of my life, I avoided sports and anything that required physical exertion. In my adult years, I struggled with extreme fatigue and was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome this year. Feeling tired all the time sucks!
But, through my work on our Instagram page (all about MOVEMENT š ), I connected with some of the most inspirational and kind people on the planet! Their stories and love for their yoga practices began to motivate ME!!!
These enthusiastic Instagram yogis began to rub off on me through their fun yoga challenges and supportive DMs. We connected through triumphs, struggles, and even losses. Our Zinsk team began thinking about how we could inspire others to move more by providing a new resource for yogis. With this in mind, we decided to start designing YOGA CARDS! From there it seemed only natural to invite our yoga friends to participate in the product they inspired.
From the start of our Yoga Cards project, the Zinsk Instagram community played crucial roles in its development. They voted on multiple rounds of the box and card designs, ensuring that the final product would be something everyone would love. Two generous yoga teachers shared their expertise to help us create the best product possible. To top it off, 70 dedicated yogis (including our co-founders, Sam and Decker) posed for the cards! Our talented graphic designers transformed the yogis’ images into beautiful graphic likenesses. With photo submissions from such a wide-ranging group, we produced a deck promoting diversity and inclusivity, and we couldnāt be prouder. š„°
Over the past several months, the excitement from our Zinsk Instagram community has been palpable! Their enthusiasm has fueled ours, leading our design team to work tirelessly to bring this vision to life. The result is a stunning deck embodying the community spirit and passion of everyone involved.Ā
Personally, I am thrilled to use our Yoga Cards in my daily (who would have thought?! š) yoga practice. Not only that, I get to enjoy seeing many of the friends who inspired me, each time I create a new flow!

Why Movement?
Movement is more than just physical activity; itās the rhythm of life that keeps us thriving. At Zinsk, we celebrate movement as an essential part of our existence. Hereās why:
- Movement is a canvas for self-expression. With every step, stretch, and sway, we communicate with our bodyās language to connect deeply with our inner selves.
- Movement lets you embrace vitality. From enhancing flexibility to strengthening muscles, every motion nurtures the body.
- Movement elevates your mood. Through the release of endorphins, its transformative power lifts our spirits and brightens our outlook.
- Movement lets you celebrate the journey. As we dance through life or find solace in a peaceful walk, movement is a celebration of the human experience.
