It's finally getting warm out there so I just thought I'd remind everyone that while it's lovely to practice outside you may want to try and find a shady spot. Practicing in the direct sun may overheat the body -- be careful and drink plenty of water after (and even during) your practice. Also, be aware that some of your standing balance poses may feel a little different out of doors -- for example in triangle pose when you turn your head and look up you will find that you have the sky as a focal point not the ceiling. This can play around with your sense of balance so again, slow down a bit, and experiment. A big shade tree can be beneficial -- something to block the sun's rays a bit and leaves and branches to give your eyes a focal point when gazing up. And of course a trunk to lean on if you need extra help balancing!
Enjoy your summer, and your summer yoga!!
