Meet The World's First Yoga Doll (She Doesn't Look Like Barbie!)

Here at mbg, we frequently write about issues with Barbie, and how she's not the best role model for young girls today. Thankfully, there are a few creative minds who trying to change the toy landscape with more realistic dolls that can provide a positive example for today's youth.

Meet the AZIAM Girlz, the world's first yoga doll series. This doll collection was created by Alanna Zabel, who teaches yoga workshops for young girls. There are eight dolls, which are based on the eight-limbed path (or themes) of any yoga practice.
