3 ways to enjoy summer with yoga

Summer is the perfect time to spend outdoors, eating icecream, picnics in the park, pims and lemonade but how often do you think yoga when it comes to cooling down.

There are 3 postures which will keep you cool when you’re lounging on the beach during your summer holidays:
1. Forward fold – stand tall, plant your feet firmly in the beach sand, take a deep deep breath, and as you exhale gently swan dive your upper body as you hinge forward at the hips. Legs stay firm and grounded as your upper body melts – let your head and arms go heavy. After 3 long slow deep breaths, slowly come up again and repeat 3 times.

2. Downward Facing Dog – From Forward fold, bend your knees, walk your hands forward on the ground and your feet back until you are in an inverted “V” shape. Press your palms into the beach and walk and stretch your heels down one at a time. Your dog will want to definitely help you with this pose.

3. Childs pose – From Down dog, end with bending your knees to the ground, placing hips back over heels and stretching arms forward, forehead toward ground
