Yoga in the Park

Last weekend I went to a free class in the park offered by Lululemon.  The community class in the park is something Lulu offers every Saturday in every town I've ever seen a Lululemon, but I've never gone to one. Believe it or not, I'm really shy about trying new yoga classes and locations.

The class was at 9am in a park downtown and it turned out to be really nice. I like trying new teachers and practicing outside is one of my favorite things ever. It's always a little exercise in beginner's mind when you're meeting new teachers and experiencing their style. Gets you out of your head a little better than a home practice if that's what you do most often. I'm glad I went and I intend to keep going to these community classes. Getting outside of my comfort zone is a good thing and I can try a few different teachers.

Get involved in your local yoga community. It can be with a lulu class in the park, a community class given by fresh new teachers (usually free or cheap), or just a meetup with some friends to try a new DVD... just get out there!
