Tibetan Yoga on the Snow in Nepal

Tibetan Yoga and Trekking above Dharamsala. India., originally uploaded by Eric Lon.

High in the mountains is a great place for one's spirit to connect with the beauty of nature making snow covered mountain tops an ideal place to practice yoga - unfortunately for most of us, it's not very convenient for a yoga workout on your lunch break.

Asana Inspired Yoga Picture

Julie - Yoga set 1, originally uploaded by CurlingZone.

Having lived in Vancouver all my life it feels like we're in the Yoga capital of the world. I've never been to India and I imagine there are many other places that Yoga is popular - but Yoga studios are like Starbucks here in Vancouver (I'm not sure how far Starbuck's Coffee franchise reaches elsewhere in the world - but I there are 5 within a four block radius of my house here in Vancouver). Yoga is definately huge in Vancouver.

kakásana, originally uploaded by pimentinha37.

Nice form by this girl practicing yoga. Pointed toes on both feet as she balances on her elbows supported only by hands.

Living in Vancouver there are tons of yoga studios just a few blocks from my door but when you have a three year old and another one on the way time just seems to dissapear :)
