It's bad enough when someone goes on holiday and fills your Instagram feed with photos showing off the incredible places where they are staying or eating.

But for models, actresses or singers to slip into a string bikini, twist their limbs into a flying lotus position and pose on a private beach with the wind in their hair, it's too much to bear.

In the latest and greatest way to show their worth, celebrities the world over are snapping what's been popularly dubbed 'smug yoga selfies'.

Gisele Bundchen is one of many celebrities posting such 'smug yoga selfies' while on holiday

Whether in a pool, by the beach, on a yacht, these celebrities prove that there's always time to take a quick snap of your perfectly poised, distorted limbs in front of a scenic backdrop.

Jessica Michibata attempted to start a new trend - couples yoga - by getting her boyfriend in on the fitness action.

And Hilaria Baldwin proved that even if you can't find a nanny, that's not a reason to skip your daily workout.

From London to LA and everywhere in between, here are some of Instagram's most popular celebrity yoga poses.

While in Sedona, Arizona, Gisele posed alongside beautiful rock formations, hashtagging it #magicalplace

Actress Michelle Rodriguez opted for a headstand in a rather unconventional location: atop a table while on a motorcycle trip through New Zealand.

Meanwhile, Nicole Scherzinger was inspired during a stroll through London's Trafalgar Square and opted for a meditative pose in front of the central fountain.

And Glee actress, Lea Michele, balanced on a tree trunk in LA, while extending her right leg high above her head.

While on holiday in the South of France, Beyonce was sure to make time for a daily stretch - despite the fact that the star was away to celebrate her 33rd birthday.

Fellow singer, Lady Gaga, took the yoga snap up a notch with her above water selfie.

Balancing on a surf board, she bent her legs over her head, resting her feet and calves on the board for support.
