fantastic idea, especially for

00:01:22,350 --> 00:01:26,400
First off, let's talk about the

00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,970
a meditation and yoga space to
your home is a game changer.

is like a natural
antidepressant. Combine that

25
00:01:53,190 --> 00:01:57,840
with mindful practices, and
you're looking at a happier,

26
00:01:57,900 --> 00:02:02,040
healthier you. It's all about
finding your zen right in your

backyard. Yoga is excellent for
your body. It improves

28
00:02:06,660 --> 00:02:10,620
flexibility, strength and
balance. When your yoga space is

29
00:02:10,620 --> 00:02:15,000
just a few steps away, you're
more likely to roll out that mat

indoor distractions can really
help you focus. Now let's dive

33
00:02:30,060 --> 00:02:34,170
into the fun part. Designing
your perfect meditation and yoga

34
00:02:34,170 --> 00:02:39,360
space. Find a quiet corner of
your garden. Privacy is key. So

35
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,230
think about using natural
barriers like hedges or bamboo

36
00:02:43,230 --> 00:02:48,570
screens to create a cozy
secluded look. Thanks stone

37
00:02:48,570 --> 00:02:53,310
pathways, wooden decks and water
features. Not only do these look

38
00:02:53,310 --> 00:02:57,870
great, but they also add a
calming vibe. Imagine the

00:02:57,870 --> 00:03:04,020
soothing sound of water while
you practice lists. Go for a mix

of native plants that love
Portland's climate, evergreen

shrubs, flowering perennials and
ornamental grasses can keep your

42
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,010
space looking great all year
round. And don't forget the

43
00:03:17,010 --> 00:03:21,780
fragrant plants like lavender
and Jasmine. They smell divine.

44
00:03:22,410 --> 00:03:26,640
Make sure your space is comfy. A
level surface is a must for

45
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:30,990
yoga. So considered natural
materials like brass cork or

46
00:03:30,990 --> 00:03:36,540
even a wooden platform. Outdoor
yoga mats are a great option to

47
00:03:36,930 --> 00:03:41,820
you need a comfy spot to sit for
meditation, benches, cushions or

48
00:03:41,820 --> 00:03:46,290

And don't forget shade

umbrellas to keep you cool and

dry. Living in Portland means
we're blessed with a mild

52
00:03:59,610 --> 00:04:04,440
our gardens lush and green.

effort. Plus, supporting local
flora and fauna is always a win.
