Day 37

In addition to a brisk walk on the beach, perhaps check out one of the various offerings of

YOGA ON THE BEACH


If there is a beach, there's a good chance that there is an early morning or cool evening yoga class happening. Its hard to imagine a better setting with a clean beach around you and the sound of the crashing waves, not to mention the likelihood of a bikini or 2!

What exactly is Yoga? Yoga is a form of exercise that uses slow movements and stretching. It is good for increasing flexibility and balance. It is also good for relieving stress and relaxing. Yoga has been used as a meditation technique for thousands of years. As you exercise, you meditate on what your body is feeling and try to be "one with the universe."

Check your local community calendar, or look online. njbeachyoga.com is one example! The beach is YOURS afterall, go become "one" with it.
