How to Bring Your Yoga Practice with You"},"content":{"rendered":"

Does your mat get the same amount of asana-inspired attention when you are traveling? It\u2019s true that wherever you venture, you can bring your yoga practice along, but imagine a place where you\u2019re always in the flow.<\/p>\n

On a recent yoga retreat in Puerta Vallarta, Mexico, Denver-based yoga instructor Sarah Beth<\/a>\u00a0led us in a meditation to ignite full presence and sensory awareness.<\/p>\n

\u201cOpen your eyes, and see everything around you,\u201d she said in a soft and steady tone. \u201cSee not only the ocean in front of you, but also what\u2019s beside you, even behind you.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued to lead us through each of our senses\u2014looking, tasting, smelling, hearing, and feeling. The entire time, the waves continued to\u00a0roll in their ebb and flow, a\u00a0breath-like cadence.<\/p>\n

The time we spent at Villa Karaway<\/a> on the Playa Punta Negra was a special way to embody our yoga practice. Most\u00a0yoga retreats<\/a> have qualities that appeal specifically to yogis, no doubt, but there are also ways of making any\u00a0vacation yoga-centric\u2014with or without the structure of a formal retreat.<\/p>\n

Eat Good (Clean) Food<\/h3>\n

Villa Karaway is blessed with a private chef, Elba, who cooks delicious and nourishing Mexican-inspired cuisine. Wherever you go, make an effort to eat\u00a0local, fresh, and whole foods as much as you can. Drink a lot of water and commit to keeping your body in balance. Give yourself the fuel you need to keep your senses firing fully.<\/p>\n

Rise Early (But Sleep In, Too)<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s like having your cake and eating it, too. If you take a few special mornings on your trip to wake up with the sun, you will be able to capture the crisp and blissful essence of a sunrise. But you don\u2019t have to wake at dawn every day to attain full appreciation for it, so enjoy sleeping in on your more laid back days. After all, you are on vacation.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Explore Your Practice<\/h3>\n

Whether you roll your mat out near the beach for a self-guided practice or join in on a local class, make sure you take your physical yoga practice with you when you travel. Consider committing to a short asana and mediation session every morning to refresh your energy and clear your head for the day to come. Like the exercise that Sarah Beth led us through on the shores of the Pacific Ocean\u2014stay present, stay aware, appreciate where you are, who you are, and have gratitude for each moment.<\/p>\n

Create Connections<\/h3>\n

Sarah Beth wrote a meaningful post on her Facebook wall when she returned home from Villa Karaway: \u201cI showed up solo, and left with friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

Traveling helps us to embrace a special quality of authentic connection through mindful, curious, and joyous vulnerability. It\u2019s truly powerful to be in a new place, or a home-away-from-home, and meet both\u00a0locals and fellow visitors who are there, in the present, with you, appreciating\u00a0one of the many special places in\u00a0the world.<\/p>\n
