In life, we often feel like changing the environment, trying something unusual, getting a new experience. The desire for change can affect personal life, environment, daily routine and even yoga practice. This is especially true in any season: in winter we combine a walk in the snow with active yoga Snowga, in the fall we go to the park to admire the bright colors and meditate, enjoying the thoughtfulness and fading of nature, in the spring we hurry to throw off everything superfluous and jump out of the cramped hall of the yoga studio for fresh air, in the summer we are ready to get up early in order to have time to drop in for a workout before work in the park... Now that it has finally warmed up, I want to go outside and greet the sun not in a stuffy room, but on the tender grass and to the sound of birds singing...

Benefits of practicing yoga in nature

If your practice has faded, feel free to go outside. None, even the most comfortable and bright hall, can be compared with the living colors of nature! A change of scenery will help to reveal new aspects, deepen the sensations and diversify the practice. You can observe an amazing difference in how differently you feel in the same poses in the 4 walls of the studio and in the unlimited space, which gives freedom of movement, expanding physical and sensory limits, makes the practice deeper and more conscious.

There are plenty of compelling reasons to try outdoor yoga:

1. Natural sounds and smells of nature have a beneficial effect on the psyche and emotional state. You find your place again in the arms of Mother Earth, returning to your "roots" and finding peace.
2. Rest from the frantic pace of modern life, reduce stress and anxiety.
3. It is in nature that you simplify your life, discarding everything unnecessary, rejoicing in the simplest and most natural things - breathing, sensations, integrity.
4. Sunny days are The best way eliminate the lack of vitamin D: it is produced by our body under the influence of the sun.
5. Cleansing the lungs of the toxic air we breathe indoors.
6. Let nature inspire you! Even memorized complexes will become extraordinary if you connect to the natural source of improvisation.

The weather this summer is capricious as never before: torrential rains give way too quickly to scorching heat, and the sun appears on the horizon with mixed success. But did natural conditions ever stop true yogis? Rather, on the contrary, this is a great opportunity to abstract from everything mundane and turn even more to the inner “I”. There are more than thirty yoga venues in Moscow from Yoga Journal. Therefore, we decided to talk about some of them so that everyone can choose what he likes and spend recent months summer for the benefit of the soul and body.

1. Tagansky park. A cozy place for yoga is located on the lawn next to the fountain in the central square of Tagansky Park. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, universal yoga classes are conducted by Victoria Romanova, whose class we got to on Saturday morning. Attention was paid to both beginners and experienced practitioners, regardless of the distance of the mat, so don't even hope to hide from prying eyes. During the practice, we received a huge amount of actionable advice. For example, pain in a certain asana needs to be "breathed" - that is, while exhaling, imagine how the air is exhaled exactly in the place where discomfort is felt. In a sparsely populated park, it is especially pleasant to listen to the voice of the teacher and feel how the breathing evens out and at the same time the mood rises.
2. Garden them. Bauman. In the heart of the park, in a series of colorful houses, you can see a company of yogis on the upper terrace or in the clearing below. On Thursdays and Sundays, hatha yoga classes are conducted by Polina Krasilnikova. Great attention is paid during the lesson correct breathing and balance, which a chosen fixed point will help to maintain in a shaky posture. By focusing attention on it and gradually transferring it inward, according to the teacher, one can achieve balance both in asana and in life.
3. Gorky Park. Of course, we could not do without the main Moscow park, which also opened the doors for yoga classes to everyone. A convenient location for many, beautiful views and the opportunity to spend time after class in a cozy place nearby are an absolute plus. But in the evenings, you will have to be patient: a huge number of passers-by who will not be indifferent to your posture will be distracted in every possible way, and because of the loud music on the neighboring dance floor, it is not so easy to listen to the teacher. But perhaps you will be lucky and nothing will distract you from unity with the body.
4. Sparrow Hills. Yoga on Vorobyovykh is very special: firstly, it is held here only in the mornings, and secondly, such air has never been seen in any park. One can breathe here easily and freely, one can feel the smell of a real forest, and one can even see morning dew on the grass. On Mondays and Fridays, Polina Teslenko conducts qigong practice. Qigong is an ancient Chinese system of regulation of internal energy, which is aimed at strengthening health and fortitude. You need to come in sports shoes, but it is not necessary to take mats. First, the teacher stretches, then she breathing practice in a spacious gazebo, while monitoring the correct execution, guiding and correcting everyone. This type yoga, of course, requires a lot of patience and time - most likely, after the first lesson you will not feel a clear result, because you need to come to everything gradually. But the game is worth the candle: in the end, learning to control your energy and breathing is useful for everyone.
5. Muzeon. On the wooden steps of the Central House of Artists near the Krymskaya embankment there is another yoga platform. Every day, classes are taught by different teachers, we got to the practice of Core Yoga by Maria Menovshchikova. Core Yoga is a dynamic practice based on mindfulness and breath control. During it, the muscular corset, shoulders, arms and legs are noticeably worked out, various stances and balances on the arms and on the head are also included in the practice. The main thing is not to forget to breathe and be inspired by the beauty of the calligraphic painting of the Tretyakov Gallery before your eyes.
6. Izmailovsky park. One of the oldest parks in Moscow is more like a forest, because you need to make your way to the stage where classes are held among densely planted trees. In the shade, you feel coolness and freshness, so you want to breathe deeper and more evenly. An hour and a half of universal yoga with practitioner Peter Natalia flew by unnoticed, but the muscles were felt to a sufficient extent. The teacher immediately surrounded himself with beginners and closely followed the execution technique, which is certainly important at the very beginning.

You can recover after a hard day's work, arrange a global reboot and comprehend Zen at several sites in the Park at once. Choose a convenient time and place for you and come to class.
