Take a Yoga Hike

Any any given morning, when the morning mist still hangs over the lake, you will find Yogini Valarie Devi at Tribble Mill Park for a few Sun Salutations and a brisk hike.

Hiking, akin to walking, is an excellent exercise - when done mindfully. And according to the American Hiking Society, some 73 million people - about a 1/3 of the population - enjoys hiking.

So if you enjoy a good hike, then add a few Yoga poses before you begin to reduce your chance of injury; which comes mostly from ankle sprains and lower back stress. A good Yoga warm-up does more to prep the muscles, it helps us avoid injury, reduce aches, and quickly recuperate for the next hike.

Om Peace!
