Discover the Joys of Practicing Yoga Outdoor

We are all connected to all that we are surrounded by, we may just never have the time to notice. Outdoor yoga allow us to experience all that goes on in everyday life from the sounds, the smells, the animals and birds and even just the people. See the sunrise, the moon set and discover the joys of practicing Yoga in the outdoors

Without the restrictions of four walls. Feel the warmth of the sun and use the outdoor sounds of the waves, wind or birds for your meditation.

Tips for outdoor yoga:
- Find a good spot! You don't need a lot of room, but find a spot that is fairly level and will be comfortable for you as far as sun & shade. If you don't have a yard, maybe there's a place in a park that will suit you.

- If you live in a hot climate, practice early in the morning to avoid the hottest part of the day. Early mornings are a time when nature is springing to life and there's an abundance of good energy.

- Don't worry about music, cd's, etc. Enjoy connecting with nature and letting your body lead your practice.

- Don't try to control the environment. An ant might crawl on your mat; a neighbor might start up his lawn mower. Try to stay focused on the breath and the experience, knowing that you are part of the world and have to share it.
- Don't forget pranayama and meditation -- it feels wonderful to do these practices outside!
