Bend it like Buddha in Loudoun
I got my start with yoga when I popped in Disk 4 of P90X during the summer of 2010. That grueling 90 minute workout signified my first, and last yoga session. I understand that the majority of folks out there have a stronger constitution than myself, and live for the peace and tranquility that yoga brings. If you have been doing yoga for a while, you might be willing to change up your routine, so we have the list of the 5 Most Unique Yoga Venues in Loudoun.
1. Yoga at a Brewery

It’s hard to beat the views you’ll get perched on the Blue Ridge Mountains while settling into your Warrior Pose in front of Dirt Farm Brewing. And since you’ll probably be doing the downward dog anyway, why don’t you bring your furry friend along with you. Dirt Farm Brewing is one of 5 breweries on the LoCo Ale Trail’s “Pints with Pups” itinerary.
2. Yoga at a Winery

The yogis at Yoga 4 Life regularly offer “Yoga on the Wine Trail”. They make stops across DC’s Wine Country, so be sure to check their calendar and see where they will be next.
3. Yoga on Horseback

Partner yoga is one thing, but have you ever tried to pair up with a horse!? Luckily Salamander Resort & Spa has you covered for all your equine-tranquility seeking needs. It is truly a one-of-a-kind experience, but don’t take our word for it, come get the story straight from the horses mouth.
4. Yoga on the Appalachian Trail

Appalachian Outdoor Readiness & Essentials not only provides everything you need for an outdoor adventure in Loudoun, they also lead Hiking and Yoga treks up the Appalachian Trail. If “A Walk in the Woods” has inspired you to check out the trail, this yoga session is for you. Eat your heart out Bill Bryson!
5. Yoga on a Stand Up Paddle Board

While we are coming up on the end of the season for the folks at Paddle NOVA, it is never too soon to start planning a spring yoga retreat. If you really want to challenge yourself, test your balance during one of their SUP classes on Beaverdam Reservoir.
