That's why I was so excited when Cakebread Cellars, a winery based in Napa, California, invited me to do yoga in a vineyard as part of their Wellness and Wine program. As a Northern California native, I had long admired the absolute beauty of those vineyards an hour from where I grew up, so I jumped at the opportunity. I'll share more about the details of my experience below, but that got me thinking: What are some other cool, unexpected places to do yoga that aren't in a studio? I dove in and realized I'd already done some of them—and can absolutely recommend those too.?SIGN UP for Parade’s health newsletter with expert-approved tips, healthy eats, exercises, news & more to help you stay healthy & feel your best self?
6 Unexpected Places To Practice Yoga
1. In a vineyard
You saw this one coming, but I absolutely recommend practicing yoga in a vineyard. Napa Valley is hot in the summer, but the advantage of it being so close to the Bay Area is that the morning fog keeps things cooler until midday. The air was crisp but not cold as we moved through downward-facing dogs and hip openers, and I've never had such a relaxing savasana. There was wine to follow the wellness (as the program title suggests), which was paired with food made by Cakebread's chef from the winery's on-site garden. It was a little too early in the day for me to be drinking alcohol, but the overall experience was relaxing and fulfilling.
3. On a paddleboard
Standup paddleboard (SUP) yoga is another great option, especially if you want to get a great core workout in. Maintaining your balance on a paddleboard already requires a lot of core activation, and moving through yoga poses is even more of a challenge for your abs. Plus, SUP yoga classes are done on water, so they're pretty much always hosted in beautiful locations. That certainly doesn't hurt.
4. On a rooftop
As a New York City dweller, there is no shortage of rooftop yoga classes available. One great bonus is that bugs can't fly that high, and a buggy yoga class isn't exactly relaxing. A lot of these classes are hosted at sunset or in the early mornings, and they're so energizing and beautiful.
