A superb opportunity to acknowledge and loosen our hold on the ideas we have about ourselves and what yoga is - at least for an hour or two.
Taking yoga to a different environment gives us an excuse to shrug them off for a moment; perhaps allowing us to experience both the asana and our bodies in a new light.
Get a lungful of this…
Deep slow breaths are commonly known to bring calm and focus but faster deep breathing while running for example is also beneficial - we may even still feel calm despite working hard as we’re co-ordinating heartbeat and breath and getting enough CO2 in our blood (yes - we need enough of it as well as O2).
Training as adventure
But what would happen if every ‘workout’ you planned was slightly different? Instead of focusing on getting faster you just planned a different route that appeals to you for whatever reason? Instead of focusing on heart rate you designed yourself an attention grabbing challenge?
