Call of the Wild: Practicing Yoga Outside
Try something really wild and take your practice outside to connect with nature and add an element of natural challenge.
It’s hard to say what is a beginner, intermediate, or an advanced yoga sequence because every body is different. Someone with tight hamstrings might find a pose with a deep stretch difficult, while that same person can nail every Arm Balance they encounter. So how did we break down our yoga sequences by level? We categorized each yoga sequence in a way that we feel a beginner or advanced yogi can quickly find something that works for them. But please browse each section and use your intuition or consult a doctor before trying anything you feel is not safe for your body.
