What is Nature-Based Yoga & Meditation™?

Nature-Based Yoga & Meditation™ is our way of practicing yoga and meditation with our environment in mind. Whether you're in a forest, by a lake, or handling the demands of modern life, this practice invites you to slow down, breathe deep, and reconnect.

Let’s explore what Nature-Based Yoga & Meditation™ means to us here at Pinecone Yoga.

Honoring the Roots of Yoga

Before we get into the details, it’s important to name where this practice comes from. Yoga is a spiritual and philosophical tradition that began thousands of years ago in South Asia. Yoga is a way of living, rooted in ethics, breath, meditation, movement, and self-inquiry.

As we harmonize our practice with nature’s rhythms, we recognize that incorporating the cycles and cues of the natural world into yoga is not new. It’s an ancient and intuitive way of connecting. At Pinecone Yoga, we’re inspired by the shifting landscapes around us and by the growing body of science that supports both the benefits of yoga and time in nature. By weaving these research-backed approaches to stress relief, we aim to cultivate a practice that’s both rooted and responsive; one that supports personal well-being, community, and connection.

What is Nature-Based Yoga & Meditation™?

Whether you’re stepping onto the mat for the first time or returning to your practice, Nature-Based Yoga & Meditation™ offers a way to connect with yourself, your environment, and the season you’re in. We draw inspiration from the nature within and around us. Our classes reflect seasonal shifts and are rooted in yogic philosophy with a modern twist. Whether we're teaching at the farmers market, gathering for a retreat, hosting live music events, or offering in-depth trainings, our goal is to create accessible, nurturing spaces where individuals of all backgrounds and abilities can connect with themselves, community, and the earth.

Join Us in Practice

At Pinecone Yoga, Nature-Based Yoga & Meditation™ is the thread that runs through everything we offer. It’s a way of moving, listening, and being in relationship with the world around us. Whether you join us on a mat under the trees or in the warmth of our community classes, we hope this practice invites a sense of mindfulness, ease, and joy.
