Another plug for yoga outside

This Memorial Day holiday was a lovely prelude to summer with sunny, clear skies. Whether you're celebrating these warm, longer days with an outdoor picnic, a bike ride along rows of vineyards or a hike through beautiful parks and waterfalls, perhaps you might be inspired to take your yoga practice outside as well. Yoga Journal asked instructors to share some of their experiences practicing yoga outdoors in Call of the Wild and notes when we move from the climate-controlled studio to an outdoor classroom, the experience can be "exhilarating," in spite of uneven surfaces or the occasional insect yogi. They also offer some popular poses that we can adapt to the natural props around us. Consider these the next time you head outdoors, and you won't always need your mat!
