Lifestyle Tips To Find Your Urban Island

Wellness

SUNNY SALUTATIONS

By Kalaki Riot

Outdoor wellness and fitness for your health in new york on the KR Edit

A run through mountain trails. Yoga on the beach. Surfing. When we are on vacation fitting in a outdoor workout is a no brainer. But back in the city? Well, we spend a lot of time underground and inside. Studies have shown that exercising outdoors leads to an increase in energy, upbeat mood and a decrease in stress and cortisol levels. Plus, it’s a great way to get some extra Vitamin D (just remember sunscreen) and explore your city!

So this summer, get off the elliptical or out of the HIIT box and take your workout al fresco with some of the best outdoor workouts in the city.

The Rise
Offering free outdoor classes in different boroughs five mornings a week, The Rise is on a mission to bring outdoor group fitness to the masses. Classes utilize park space, jungle gyms and other outdoor “props” (benches, stairs, etc.) to give you a full sweat session. All levels of fitness are welcome to try out their different types of classes, named after their location like Brooklyn Body Circuit or Core Body Bootcamp or the Flatiron Fit and Flow.

YoYoga Paddleboard Excursions

YoYoga prides itself on “non pretension and no judgment.” They offer a wide range of classes at their eastside studio, including rooftop classes during the summer. To tap into the outdoors even more, check out their paddleboard excursions at nearby Lake Oscawana where you will practice yoga both on land and on a paddleboard. Afterwards, you have time to swim, paddle and lunch dockside.

Instructors, provided by Yoga Journal, vary week to week so you can try a variety of styles. The park’s central location makes it easy to squeeze in workout either in the morning (Tuesday) or after work (Thursdays).
