So now that you have selected the yoga class that best fits you, why should you head outside and into nature to do your yoga class?
Doing yoga outside is a powerful way to soothe your nervous system and switch the on switch to your parasympathetic system. Looking at green, feeling the breeze caress your skin, and listening to the sound of birds singing will ground and center you. You need to grab your phone and a yoga mat, or a towel, and head outside to the nearest garden or park.
If you’re not crunched for time, you can travel to a forest, beach, or a meadow.
Is internet access a problem if you travel away from where you are living? Perhaps you have access to a balcony, rooftop terrace, or patio where you can remain in the range of an internet connection and do your yoga practice. If all else fails, open a window wide and focus on a vibrant greenhouse plant, fresh cut flowers, or a bowl of fresh fruit during your yoga session.
