I was a little late jumping on to the ‘Bohemain Rhapsody’ bandwagon, but when I did I was spellbound. The movie was well done, and the portrayal of the characters was spell binding.
Freddie Mercury was perhaps the greatest rockstar of all time, but he was also an unwitting yogi. While going through a bunch of his pictures on Pinterest I started to notice that a lot of his moves on stage looked like yogic postures. The more pictures I saw, the more yogasanas I recognized. So I put together a bunch of Freddie Mercury’s pictures and the corresponding asana.
Trikonasana/Triangle Pose
Vrkshasana/Tree Pose
And variations of the Tree pose…
Chaturanga/Plank Pose
Every yogi knows the agony of getting this one right.
Virbhardasana/Warrior Pose
Marichyasana/Sage Marichi’s Pose
This is a bit of a stretch of the imagination, but you have to admit there’s a twist there. Also, Freddie’s flat abs, his chiselled body, the energy – is this the real life?
Backbends
My biggest challenge…but look at him.
Hope you enjoyed this blog. Leave me a comment and share if you did!

The resemblance is uncanny.Good on you to have spotted it.
Absolutely…
He was amazing – I still haven’t seen the movie but sure will – in Hongkong or on my flight back to Europe.
Great idea to check out his poses and put some asanas against them… :-))
As an Indian student mostly he practised yoga during his school days. It’s a daily morning practice there.
