Last year we were lucky to be offered the chance to run some outdoor yoga classes in a really nice location in Goffs Oak, and we’re pleased to say that the classes will be returning in June, July and August of 2020.

The classes will be taking place on the back lawn of Gisby Harrison Solicitors in Goffs Oak, and we’re really grateful to them for allowing us to use their lawn again.

The lawn at the back of Goffs Oak House is large and flat with space for well over 20 yoga mats and with your back to the main house there is a lovely view out to Theobolds Brook through the trees at the back of the garden.

Benefits of Outdoor Yoga

Practising yoga outside has many benefits, connecting us to nature and encouraging our awareness to expand.

Use all of your senses to notice what’s around you and feel the sensations of the elements, whether it’s sun, wind or even a few spots of rain, it will all help us to connect with being present, mindful and grounded.

Being in nature not only reduces the levels of the stress hormone cortisol, it can be very healing, calming and relaxing, and we can find inspiration from our surroundings. Cultivate an appreciation for the beauty and wonder of nature.

The outdoor yoga class will consist of pranayama, yoga asanas and extra time to practice various meditation techniques. We’ll be finishing off each class with a peaceful relaxation.

Combine yoga with nature to soothe and balance your mind, body and spirit.
