Currently working with a Pilates instructor for some promotional images for her new studio. Can't show any of the images yet, but can give you some pointers. Yoga (and pilates) are all about the poses. True, there's meditation, tranquility, and the like, but photographically it's about the pose. Really draw attention to the pose. Use light in a way that really brings out the muscles and form. Really good example of this style is theToe Sox ads. (WARNING: they are nudes, but you really can't see anything)
But also get out in nature. Find some beautiful outdoor locations, shoot there. Or go urban, do something different like Martin Prihoda. Really talk with her about what kind of style she likes, ask for examples, magazines, websites that have images she likes, and then get creative. Bounce ideas around, pitch different concepts and see what happens.
Godspeed,
