I live in Tulum because it has one of the most astounding natural surroundings I have ever seen in my life!! The simple act of going out to nature has already an incredible healing effect in us human beings…imagine what happens if we add the practice of Yoga and Meditation to it…is definitely and experience that I want to share with as many beings as possible!!
Most of us modern yogis and productive members of society live in a constant non-stop, busy, and task-focused world where we spend most of our time indoors surrounded by smartphones, computer screens, electronic gadgets, and artificial light.
We’ve created many wonderful and useful things, projects, and businesses but it has come at a cost. We are now more disconnected than ever from Mother Nature.
Ancient yogis and many other wise groups and cultures like the Native tribes of all the World have always known that when human beings become disconnected from nature we suffer.
We may have more resources, information, and supplies at our fingertips than ever before, but it’s also true that we are increasingly sick, fatigued, depressed, anxious, and unfulfilled.
Is this mental and physical health crisis a coincidence?
Thanks to growing research and scientific studies it’s becoming increasingly clear that it is no coincidence at all.
This health crisis is an opportunity for us to return back to our roots – to return back to Nature in order to reset and heal.
Practicing yoga outside in nature is the perfect antidote to feeling sick, unwell, tired, anxious, depressed, or frustrated because it helps to restore harmony in the body.
Yoga in nature helps us experience union with our environment.
The overall objective of true yoga practice is to experience unity and connection in ourselves and our bodies first and foremost and then with the external world around us.
Embodying yoga in nature helps us to re-establish this union and connection with our environment.
Practicing outside in nature, especially surrounded by trees in a forest or the jungle, can help you become more still, calmer, more present, and more aware. It heightens your senses and self-awareness. It helps you feel more connected to your body, your senses, and your breath.
Practicing Yoga in Nature helps us with our relationship and connection with the heavens, universe, cosmos, etc. and also our connection to Mother Earth. The forces above elevate us and our consciousness, and the forces below keep us grounded and balanced.
Yoga in nature connects us to the sky, the air element, and to the sun’s life-giving energy.
Sun energy is a major component of yoga practice because it’s regarded as a major source of prana (vital energy). Prana is the invisible life force that flows through our body’s channels (nadis) and energy centers (chakras).
When Prana flows freely and without blockage, we experience optimal physical, mental, and emotional health and wellness. Blockages and low flow currents of Prana create dis-ease and dis-comfort in our body, mind, and moods.
Yogis created an entire sequence of postures to honor and acknowledge the sun called Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskar). Practicing a few rounds of Sun Salutations in nature builds heat in the body (Tapas), and helps to create healthy energy flow and a fresh infusion of Prana.
This are just few of the many reasons and benefits why I want to take you out to Nature to practice Yoga and Meditation. Wishing you feel the call and come with me to experience Nature in a very unique and different way!!
