Yoga on a rooftop

Yoga on a rooftop, yoga on the ground, yoga on the beach, yoga by the pool.

I did it, yoga on a rooftop. Actually it was helipad yoga.

"Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self." THE BHAGAVAD GITA

I've been practicing yoga for some time now and I was invited by a friend to join her for helipad yoga to do yoga with a group of ladies, they called it full moon helipad yoga.

So my friend and I booked the class and headed up to the 48th floor. Fear of heights didn't cross my mind, but my friend was quite nervous and it took a lot of willpower to get there.

The view was amazing!

It truly was an amazing sight, and seeing the city from a different angle was wonderful.

"Yoga is not about touching your toes. It's what you learn on the way down." JIGAR GOR

Yes we did do an hour of yoga, despite the howling wind. Apparently the full moon causes strong winds at this time of year, nevertheless it was a unique experience.

Looking to the west

"Yoga is the practice of being close to yourself, no matter what is happening within or around you. - Swami Sivananda -

Yoga on a rooftop, yoga on the ground, yoga on the beach, yoga by the pool.  Take time to experience the benefits of yoga.

I'm still learning, my practice is improving and I'm still loving it.
