Turn the Beach Into Your Outdoor Gym With These 5 Effective Workout Ideas

Yoga is about making a deeper connection between your body and your mind and being in the present moment with each and every breath. The beach is a phenomenal place for a yoga practice, both aesthetically and physically. If you don't like the idea of sand flinging as you move from Asana to Asana, use a mat or a beach towel as a barrier. If you find yourself too unstable even with a mat, seek the harder-packed sand. Otherwise, allow yourself to sink into the sand, one toe, one knee, one finger at a time, and really deepen your practice through noticing the movement of the waves and the movement of your breath. Just a reminder that simple seated meditation IS yoga, my friends, but if you want to move more, try one of these basic or more challenging sequences. You'll find your balance, stability, foot awareness, and strength requirements all change once you take your practice onto the sand. You may never want to leave!
