One of yoga’s (many) beauties is that it can literally be done anywhere. And it turns out nature enhances your practice in an entirely different way than a studio does. While a vigorous hike has its own benefits, practicing yoga outside can transform a stagnant routine into a heightened experience.

Kyiv VDNH complex is conveniently located next to the Golosiyivskyy forest and offers vast green lawns and comforting shades for outdoor yoga classes. Every Sunday there is Divya Yoga class hosted by Ganesh yoga studio. You can check the class schedule on their Facebook page.
Divya Yoga is a synthesis of the ancient system of hatha yoga and a contemporary method of bodywork called Hellerwork. Divya Yoga is divided into four parts: the first focusing on the “sleeve” of the body, the second focusing on the “core” structures, the third one - on the balancing of the feminine and masculine energies, and the last one is focused on the integration of all the foregoing parts. Divya Yoga was developed by Divya Aanand (Daryl Vansier). This is a perfect yoga type for beginners.
The classes begin at 10 AM on «Sad Zhelaniy». To get there take the first turn right after passing through the main entrance.

Kyiv Yoga School invites to join their open air yoga classes in Pushkin Park near Kyiv Zoo. Here you can practice Vajra yoga. Vajra yoga or vajrasana is more of a meditative practice. Often taking place in longer intervals, it instills a deep sense of peace. The idea is to achieve a clearer sense of self, not necessarily through physical strain, but through mindfulness and slower moving techniques. Vajra yoga is quite a bit more serene than is found in most instances. Classes will be calmer. You can check the classes schedule on Kyiv Yoga School Facebook page.
