Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Justin Trudeau is surely but slowly making his way into becoming the internet’s favourite world leader.

Be it greeting Syrian refuges at the airport, balancing babies, forming a “bromance” with President Obama or answering a question on why he has gender equality in his cabinet with the ultimate reply: “Because it’s 2015”.

And now an old photo of the then Liberal minister has resurfaced of Trudeau demonstrating his core strength by holding the mayurasana yoga pose. Since being posted by a Canadian yoga teacher recently, the image has gone viral.

The reaction has, naturally, been favourable:

The image is originally from 2013, when Trudeau re-tweeted the reported photographer Gregory Kolz’s tweet embracing him for leader of the Liberal party.

Trudeau is not the first world leader to demonstrate his enjoyment of physical activity. Putin was famously photographed in different workouts scenarios the gym and Barack Obama has repeatedly been seen dancing and playing basketball.
