Picture stretching your arms overhead, relaxing your mind, and releasing built up stress through deep breathing and stillness. Now picture doing this with the sound of birds chirping, warm sun on your face, and Pikes Peak directly in view. Sounds incredible, right? Whether you’re new to yoga or practice daily, summer is a great time to get outside and experience the mind, body, and soul benefits of yoga in nature.
While many studios in Colorado Springs are hosting various events and classes around the city through August, we’ve compiled a list of outdoor yoga occurring on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. Most are free or donation based—even more of a reason to test it out!
