We cannot deny that British Columbia is one of the most
beautiful places on earth. However, in our busy lives finding time to
appreciate the great outdoors can sometimes be challenging. But did you know that exposure to
nature can help reduce stress, increase inner peace and compassion, as well as
provide relaxation? Researchers have also proven that contact with Mother
Nature is also important for child development.
Connecting with our natural environment doesn’t require
going far distances. If you live
in an urban area, such as Vancouver, spend time outside in your backyard or at
your local community park. Instead
of watching that hour of TV with your family every night, change it up and
spend that time playing outdoors with your kids. By getting fresh air and enjoying nature, your mental health
and overall outlook on life will change dramatically.
Another option for connecting with nature, is taking your yoga
practice outdoors. This is a great option for combining your already scheduled
yoga time with an opportunity to appreciate your natural surroundings. Outdoor
yoga is an excellent way to reduce distractions you would normally find indoors
or at the studio. It is also a
creative yoga class option for studios in the city.
If you are interested in improving your yoga practice or
running your own yoga program, speak to your Vancouver Yoga Teacher Training
studio. We are running a new teacher training program starting this week. If
you are interested, there is still time to register. Don’t miss out on this
great opportunity!
