SHE is a well-known model and taekwondo expert in China.

But is Muqimiya, 23, who is also a yoga instructor, using sex to sell her yoga lessons?

Recently, Muqimiya, who was voted by netizens as China’s most beautiful yoga instructor, captivated viewers when she did some stretches on a TV programme. Wearing body-hugging tights, Muqimiya showed off her curvaceous figure.

The 1.72m-tall Yunnan native has been modelling since she was 14, using her exotic facial features and hour-glass figure to land international modelling assignments.
She has appeared in international advertisements and endorsed products from cars to mobile phones.

Recently, netizens even gave her the moniker of “China’s advertisement queen”.
This year, users of Tencent, China’s biggest provider of Internet messaging services, also voted her the most recognised model for cars.

Not one to rest on her laurels, she constantly works at perfecting her yoga and now teaches intermediate-level yoga.
