Yoga Anywhere

Taking yoga outside of the studio seems like a hot topic lately! First, SHAPE magazine invited their readers to take pictures of themselves practicing yoga anywhere. The pictures of people practicing all over town (and the world) were pretty great.


Then yogis took over Times Square on June 20 to celebrate the summer solstice.


While I love my studio classes for so many reasons, I also think it's great to mix it up once in a while. Lately I've been practicing in a pretty unconventional place: my bathroom! I'm doing a 31-day yoga challenge and I need to do some at-home sessions to fit it all in. Unfortunately, my apartment is mostly carpet, which can make yoga practice difficult. The only room with a big enough hard surface for me to practice on is my bathroom, so I've been setting my laptop and mat up in there. By turning off the overhead light and lighting a few candles, I've been able to transform the bathroom into something a bit more Zen for some great home sessions.


Where do you practice yoga outside of the studio?

    At work; I am fortunate enough to have an office with a door! I find that 15 minutes of stretching/breathing in the morning, just after I get to work really helps me get focused for the day. Mind you, I really should get another mat, because that floor is pretty hard.
