Yoga enthusiasts surround themselves with art and nature
There are countless reasons why so many yoga practitioners all over the world enjoy Dahn Yoga. In addition to enhancing one's mental and emotional well-being, the holistic mind-body system has numerous physical benefits as well. Those who engage in meditation, deep breathing and stretching can achieve better health as well as steady weight loss.
Practicing these exercises in the great outdoors can further heighten an individual's sense of peace, mindfulness and tranquility. This was the basis for a recent yoga festival held on the south lawn of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas, where enthusiasts gathered to participate in gentle, soothing poses, according to the Kansas City Star.
According to museum director Julian Zugazagoitia, instructor and event organizer Maria Calderon has the right idea.
"Any peaceful activity inspired by the sculptures and the garden, we welcome," he told the news source. "I think it's a fantastic idea that the mind and the body are coming together around art and nature."
Engaging in this relaxing pastime can help practitioners better appreciate their connection to those around them and the beauty of art and nature that they may otherwise be too busy to observe.
