 We just got back from an excellent Labor Day weekend camping adventure at Scenic State Park in northern Minnesota (see above). Even though I never did more than an easy seat or equal standing pose as an asana (the actual postures of yoga), I felt that I was "doing yoga" or, renewing the mind-body connection, with each activity. An invigorating hike through an oxygen rich forest, a relaxing repose staring into the enchanting dancing flames of our campfire, or even the necessary task taken for granted in modern life of water gathering, all bade me to slow down, to notice, to reconnect.
I snapped the photo of the sunrise above on our first morning when the northern chill was nipping at my fingers and the stillness and beauty was so perfect it made my bones ache. I'm resolved to offer myself more yoga through nature - with the best yoga mat.

That is right! If you want to do yoga and you are on a very peaceful place, the environment will be your yoga mat. You can do it anytime as long as the place gives you a different kind of mind relaxation. We all know that yoga is about finding your inner peace. It requires focus that's why an environment would definitely be a huge help for it! The photo that you selected was just relaxing; I am willing to pay any amount just to have a yoga session here!
