Winter can be such a long season and as I awoke one morning this week to the sounds of birds I realized. Spring is here! Although they are just starting their journey North to enjoy the milder climates to come, their song is still a good-bye to winter and welcome call to spring!

As each season passes we are reminded of the renewal opportunities given to us through nature. Coming out of the doldrums of winter metaphorically creates an awakening within. We may feel the urge to stand up and shout “I made it!” or just quietly and inwardly reflect on the progress of our personal journey. Either way spring is a reminder of renewal and re-birth. As the days grow longer and the sun gets warmer we can take refuge in the knowledge that summer is just around the bend.

Spring is the perfect time to start or renew your exercise routine, move your yoga practice outdoors or just enjoy a morning walk. Find the key to expanding your journey and awakening your spirit.

As spring unfolds to summer embrace it! Summer is the perfect time to enjoy a vacation and kick start that awakening to new levels. Best of Both Adventures has added new summer dates and locations! Check out our website and start planning today!

Outdoor Yoga tips:

• Find a flat spot in the grass or place an oversized beach towel down under your mat for stability, decks and cement patios also work well.
• Select a spot that is indirectly lit by the sun.
• Face the sun as you will pull in the energy during your practice.
• Wear a natural insect repellant or burn citronella candles nearby.
• Enjoy the sounds of nature and even street noise. Embrace all that is around you and be present in the moment.
