The Most Unusual Places for Yoga


When I first saw this video, I was blown away by it.  Yoga is indeed a very popular form of exercise - for mind, body, and spirit!

It also got me thinking... Where are some of the places I have practised some form of yoga?  Well, I could not help but reflect on this and I have come up with some great locations to boot :-)

Yoga Flash Mob - Sherway Gardens Shopping Centre
Great memories were created when a dozen of us from Power Yoga Canada quickly mobbed centre court for three minutes of Sun Salutations.  Ever since the video was aired live on YouTube, many more yoga flash mobs have taken place, including this one - "Yoga for Unity Flash Mob".

Cheltenham Badlands, Caledon
I love to hit this spot up when I'm frolicking in Caledon Hills, running the trails or visiting nearby Inglewood.  The landscape of this part is a gift for the creative mind.  I love using the landscape to support, or deepen the various yoga postures.


Trails - Muskoka, Haliburton, or the Niagara Escarpment
Like the Badlands, the trails offer their own set of props that can be used to deepen or support various asanas.  The key is to work with the landscape and respect it as you work with it.


Various Locations - Ultras, Special Events... etc...
What is a great trail run, or special outdoor event, without spontaneously breaking out into an arm balance, inversion, or any other asana :-)



Which unusual spot have you spontaneously broken out into dance, yoga asana, or workout routine?
