yoga under the trees!

ummm... yoga outdoors, under the trees- how divine! I have done yoga more than a few times before, but I wouldn't exactly call myself a yogi... I try to fit more of it in because I know how good it is for me to have a good ole stretch and it's something that I just don't seem to get around to enough outside of a formal class situation... after today's class... I may be a new devotee- to outdoor yoga! Lululemon in brisbane has been holding free yoga outside in new farm park on sunday mornings. This morning I did a big river ride with my wonderful flatmate then headed over the water to new farm to stretch it all out. The class was good but I think the bit I loved the most was being able to look up and see the canopies of the trees above me... I really do love the speckled, dappled light that filters through trees and so doing yoga beneath said trees was amazing. There is also something that just feels 'right' about doing yoga outdoors- it's really grounding being literally in contact with the earth, being able to feel the world via breeze on your skin, grass on your cheek... It really was a great way to start a sunday, particularly with post-yoga brekky with fellow-yoga friends at little larder...sunday ritual? I think so!
