If you are among those wonderful people living in Manhattan, you know how stressful and delightful life in the big city can be at times. In between work and your after-work life, finding time to work out is essential no matter how tired or stressed out you may feel though. As a matter of fact, you will soon learn that your workouts will actually make you feel less tired and much less stressed out if you manage to stick to them properly.
Many of the people nowadays associate workouts with the gym and with a closed-down environment that does not even let much sunshine get in. And when summer comes, you are probably already tired of closed spaces and not-seeing-the-sun-in-the-city. However, this should not work this way. There are many ways in which you can work out on the outdoors and to feel empowered by light and by the wonderful man-made nature of Manhattan.
Of course, jogging is just one of those solutions and if you are not a very big fan of running, you should know that almost anything else can be moved in the park too. For instance, if you are into Yoga Manhattan, you should know that you can do that in the park as well. Actually, it may actually be even more beneficial to do it there, as you will be closer to nature and that is the entire point of Yoga itself.
If you decide to move your Yoga Manhattan lessons down in the park, then you should first and foremost make sure that you stay safe. The basic requirements you met when you were taking Yoga lessons in a closed environment stay the same no matter what. You will need comfortable shoes and comfortable clothing items on you (Yoga pants or leggings make for a very good choice because they allow you to move freely). Furthermore, you should make sure that your sneakers do not slip and that they will help you to stay firmly “planted” in the ground in those twisty poses of your Yoga workout.
Also, do make sure that you take some sort of Yoga mattress with you. Here more than anywhere, you need to make sure you don’t hurt your knees or your back by lying on the hard surface of the ground when that is necessary. Even more, make sure to find a smooth surface, so that you don’t unbalance yourself when sitting in those complex Yoga poses.
