Hiking + yoga: a wonderful way to combine the beauty and wonder of Nature with the benefits of Yoga practice!

We just recently heard about this new yoga trend created by New England based teacher Nicole Kazimer (@helloyogagirl), and we fell in love with it! Being Pacific Northwesterners, we absolutely adore the idea of combining hiking and yoga.

Each enhances the other – hiking provides an outdoor connection when practicing – a void that can sometimes be felt when doing poses indoors (especially during the fall and winter months). Yoga provides a centering and grounding influence while enjoying a scenic area, and can also influence a deeper and more mindful connection with where you’re practicing – which may be a familiar or completely new outdoor spot.

At first glance, this might seem like a combination ideal for the spring and summer months, but think again! This is a perfect time of year to get outdoors (with a sweater on, that is) and transition your mind and body in the autumn season.

Check out your local parks and trails today – and come visit us at barefootyoga.com for all of the props and accessories you need to take on your journey! (Yoga mat bag and lightweight mat, anyone?)
