It\u2019s Saturday morning. You hit your snooze button at least a couple times before easing your way out of bed and sipping your morning bevvie. As you grab your yoga mat, water bottle, and natural sunscreen, you drop a quick \u201cOn my way!\u201d in the group chat with your besties and head out the door. It\u2019s finally summer. And that means rooftop yoga.<\/p>\n

As the practice of yoga evolves in response to the contemporary world, so do the places we find ourselves experiencing it. The traditional studio setting continues to hold its charms, although taking your practice to (literally) new heights with an unexpected location can bring something electrifying to the experience.<\/p>\n
