Yoga adventures for the well balanced
Every teacher brings his or her own ideas to a yoga class but a few have developed some new twists on yoga.
In Tampa, Fla., one yoga class has left the studio for a sunny and wet location – the Gulf of Mexico. As if doing tree pose on a solid surface isn’t hard enough try it on a paddleboard. I’m pretty sure I would be gulping seawater the way the reporter describes in her story. But I’d get to cool off every time I lost my balance and fell in.
At least paddleboard yoga wouldn’t hurt when I fall. Mobile Yoga though, I’m guessing would hurt. The Cleveland creation mixes inline skating and yoga to bridge the cardio workout of inline skating with yogic breathing and balance. I’m better on ice skates but I’m not sure I’m good enough to handle some of these moves.
Sometimes a new perspective is what’s needed. In New York City, yogis can go up for a new look at the city from Rockefeller Plaza.
The hour-long class is held on the 67th floor Top of the Rock Observation Deck before the baking heat hits.
Would you or have you done any of these things?
