100% All Natural Hot Yoga…Hikes
Summer is in full swing! Yep! We’ve got 100% all natural hot yoga every weekend for you. But since some of you may find the heat daunting, we want to offer a few points to consider. Its cooler in the woods and we practice in the shade. Heat helps you get limber and is great for yoga breakthroughs! It’s not as hot outside as it is in a hot yoga studio (usually 105 degrees!) The summer breeze means no stagnant stuffy air. Nothing like a good sweat to detox the body! We’ll take you to “the beach.” (Peirce Mill Hike) Some hikes end at an awesome cool water pump! (Peirce Mill Hike) Bottom line, outdoor hot yoga is high quality good stuff. Give it a try! For the rest of July and August we will have at least 2 Yoga Hikes a week. Sign up online and join us! Thank You Rosslyn, VA!…

Read below or check out the online article to read more of Vicky Hallett’s pieces on fitness in the DC area http://www.readexpress.com/2013/09/the-biggest-studio-in-d-c/ The Biggest Studio in D.C. Yoga Hikes move off the mat and explore parks across the city By Vicky Hallett Posted on September 10, 2013 When Danielle Reyes cues her students to reach up to the sky, they really can. Before starting class, yoga instructor Danielle Reyes is sure to share this pearl of wisdom with her students: “Look down and make sure your hands won’t touch anything sharp or unpleasant.” That’s because instead of standing on a wood floor, the group is on top of grass, dirt and twigs — and possibly some surprises. The scenery is always changing on Yoga Hikes, which Reyes launched this spring to give Washingtonians a different…
