Combining Asanas with Altitude on Your Trek
Yoga and trekking are natural partners. The rhythmic walking is a meditation. Yoga trekking retreats are growing, offering a different focus than the adrenaline of a Mount Everest expedition.
Stretching prevents muscle stiffness. Pranayama helps expand lung capacity, which is incredibly beneficial for acclimatization to thin air during Everest trekking.
Imagine doing Sun Salutations as the sun rises over the peaks. Many trekkers practice on the Everest Base Camp trail to stay grounded.
You can join organized groups led by a yoga instructor. They handle the logistics, allowing you to focus on your practice and the journey, a spiritual version of an Everest expedition.
A yoga trek transforms a physical journey into a spiritual one, leaving you centered even in the shadow of the Everest summit.
