Yoga, Health, and Wellness Articles + Recipes

Yoga is one of the best ways to improve your health and wellness. Regularly practicing yoga increases your flexibility, relieves your stress, reduces inflammation, and may give your mental health a much-needed boost. Yoga in the summer sun is particularly beneficial. Doing yoga in nature can help you engage with the world around you while you connect with yourself through meditative breathing and challenging flows. If the idea of adding some nature into your typical routine sounds appealing, you may want to consider taking a retreat to somewhere restorative. This can help you focus on your practice and connect with other like-minded folks. Setting aside time for a retreat is sure to enhance your wellness and help you escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Yoga is a practice that can be done anywhere, as long as you have a mat and a quiet space. It’s super easy to take your yoga practice outside, but have you considered taking your yoga practice overseas and somewhere international? There are plenty of beautiful outdoor spots all around the world for you to roll your mat out, where the nature and scenery is part of the yoga experience. Yoga is deeply symbolic of nature, from the names of many postures (Tree, Mountain, and poses named after animals), to the corresponding elements of certain poses (Earth, Air, Water, and Fire). The yoga community is widespread around the globe, so there are special places for you to treat yourself to a purposeful and beneficial yoga travel adventure, and also bring your yoga practice into the open air.
