It’s finally the time of the year when we can really get out of the house. People are out and about back on the trails and visiting state parks. Even though I’m from Minnesota, I’m not much of a winter person. I don’t love the cold, but I love being outside. As soon as the temperatures are nice we are outside all the time. We are lucky to live near many local and state parks that allow us to get out and explore the woods. The woods is the perfect place to find animals and plants that can be performed as woodland yoga poses.
