I love to travel. Taking time to explore the world is truly a joy for me, and it is a great time to practice being at home wherever I am. Whether it is going to a place I have never been, or visiting family and friends in familiar places, I love that "being on vacation" feeling.

 

One of the tricky things about traveling can be keeping your yoga practice going. On occasion, I have found a nice yoga studio in the places I have traveled, and dropped into a class or two. Having a class to go to can be truly grounding when you don't have your familiar world around you. But finding a yoga class that you love is not always possible when you are in certain places, so it is nice to have some possibilities to practice on your own.

 

If you are comfortable guiding your own practice, that's great, but if not, there are an array of tools to help you. I love to use Seattle yogi Melina Meza's book, The Art of Sequencing to get ideas of what to practice, or simply to follow the sequencing and poses. A practice CD can be especially nice, too, pop it into your cd player or laptop, and be guided through an audio practice. We carry a couple of yoga practice cds by one of our regular guest teachers, Rebekkah LaDyne. We also have a variety of other books and music that can inspire your practice.
