Treat yourself for a day!

Autumn Delight: Yoga + Nature

Yoga

“As long as you’re breathing, you are practicing yoga.” This is one of our absolute favorite reminders.
Yoga does not need to be complicated, intimidating, or look a certain way. Everyone is unique -from beginner to seasoned. We celebrate that at Boreal Bliss!
We also want you to feel comfortable and welcomed; from what you wear, to how you move, to who you are. WELCOME!
Nature

Slow down and bring focus to your connection with nature in Autumn.
You don't have to be "outdoorsy" to come for the day and discover this magic that nature has to offer. Tip: how to be outdoorsy? Step 1: be a person. Step 2: head outside!
Cultivating a connection to nature can grow a connection within yourself!
