Nature and Yoga: Pathways to Spiritual Growth
Yoga and time outdoors give you space to slow down, breathe and feel connected to yourself and the world around you.
The essence
Mind, body and the world around you
Being fit covers how you think, how you eat and how you move. Yoga brings breath and movement together. Being outdoors gives you room to notice and slow down. Put them together and many people find they feel calmer and more present.
Feeling connected to nature can also make you think more about what you eat and where it comes from, which supports the rest of your plan.
