Yoga on Horseback?

Is there no end to the fads of yoga-on-top-of-something-odd?

In sequence with my recent post about yoga on paddle board, today's news shared a story of a woman who teaches equine yoga, or yoga on horseback. Her yoga studio is her backyard.

A quick Google search led me to discover that this is not a thoroughly uncommon practice! See Desert Horse Equestrian Services yoga page .

While interesting, I think I will keep my practice on a mat. A mat on the ground, not somewhere crazy like on the wing of an airplane.

Yoga in the seat of a roller coaster! I totally just thought of a brilliant new market!

Can you attain bliss on a paddleboard?

So if you think you've already heard of all the latest yoga fads, check out this article in the Boston Herald about yoga on paddle boards.

There are some very cool pics of folks in asanas while also balancing on paddle boards in the middle of a lake. Talk about core strength!

I may have to try this the next time I attempt surfing...although now that I think about, it is probably not possible on ocean swells, which probably explains why they were on a lake!
