Favorite Places to do Yoga in the US
Today was a great day. My partner and I made a healthy lunch together with food we got from the farmers market and spent the rest of the day sitting outside enjoying the weather. We had a conversation that made me feel extremely happy about our favorite places we have practiced yoga around the states. I never thought about how many places we have been fortunate to practice at.
Here is our list of places we have been and two that we are planning to go to.
Hopefully, these make you want to take your yoga to the next level and travel with yoga.
• Grace Cathedral in San Francisco is one of the best places I have practiced yoga at. The spiritual environment of the French Gothic-style cathedral is second to none. There are weekly yoga classes offered as well as a 75-minute class on Tuesday nights. It was a little chilly there so I suggest wearing layers and of course, don’t forget your mat.
• After my paddleboard yoga experience I am eager to go back to the Mirage Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. You can do yoga with the dolphins swimming around you, obviously through the window. You practice in the underwater viewing area at the Dolphin Habitat. It was fun having these playful animals swimming around, although it was a little distracting.
• Traveling to Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies was one of the highlights in outdoor yoga practices. You can sign up to get transported to a remote place in the Rockies to practice and really connect in solitude with nature. The wild landscape and serenity made this one of my favorite experiences.
• The natural attitude of Hawaii makes it one of the most relaxing and peaceful places in the US and makes it a perfect place to practice yoga. When my partner and I were there we did our own practice on our private beach. The sun rising and hitting the water at dawn was an unforgettable time.
• A few years ago I traveled to New York and found free yoga classes in Bryant Park. It was great to get away and spend time with a group of people with my same passion. They also offer free tai chi lessons that I stuck around for after.
• I haven’t been to Chicago but it is definitely on my list. One of my good friends used to live there and said there were free yoga classes on Saturday s in Millennium Park. Although I love practicing in nature, it is a different feeling being so small amongst the giant sky scrapers that makes your problems disappear.
• Another place on my list is to go to Alaska and practice in the natural beauty. I have read reviews about the Tutka Bay Lodge on Kachemak Bay that make me want to plan my next trip there. The photographs of the rough wilderness and peacefulness of the water are breathtaking.
