How is your summer going? Are you actually taking advantage of the gorgeous weather and getting outdoors?

In this episode, we are turning the season into The Summer Yoga Playground! Give yourself permission to take your practice completely off the studio floor and step into the elements. I’m sharing three beautifully unique ways to let your senses soak up the season right now:

• The Symphony of Sound: My recent experience with a restorative sound bath and how vibration can offer profound rest. 
• Sunset Yoga: Rolling out your mat on the grass or the sand to connect directly with nature.
• Water Savasana: The ultimate floating relaxation technique using simple pool noodles.

Plus, time is running out to practice with me in person this summer and fall! Tune in for details on my three upcoming July workshops in Rochester and the second year of my North Carolina island NURTURE & NOURISH RETREAT.
