Bliss Beach Yoga

Today's #MyYoga experience was an amazing practice on beach. Waking up to 40 degree weather here this morning broke my heart as I really hoped for 'warm' weather to soak up the sun in. I immediately turned my spirit around as I decided to go for a 6 mile walk to experience my surroundings here in Fort Myers Beach followed by the the most amazing yoga practice on the beach. 

Once I arrived with my toes in the sand for practice the weather was a perfect blue sky with absolutely no clouds, a chill temperature of 58 degrees....perfect for a heated practice.

Sand was perfect under my mat, gentle but firm. Supportive as I moved through Chatturanga to Down Dog.

Although it was windy, the breeze did not feel like a sand bath, instead it was cooling and soft

Birds chirping, palm trees bristling in the background of ocean waves and the warmth of the sun heating the body on a chill beach afternoon.

Opening my eyes after a brief meditation where it seemed the corners of my mouth were tilted upward in a smile that does not ...has never come before...during a meditation practice; My eyes open to first see the sand and as I continue to flutter my eyes...the horizon of the water, sun glistening over the waves...truly a magical experience.

Even an hour later I feel as If I'm floating! .... Best beach experience ever ....blissful beach.
