Plein Air Yoga

Plein Air Yoga

"You are a part of nature, not apart from nature."

Plein Air Yoga was founded on the idea that nature is our greatest teacher. When we practice yoga and meditation in the beauty of our natural surroundings, we learn to see our own inner beauty-we find santosha or contentment with self. Plein Air sessions are timed to the rhythm of the seasons and take place in Gillson Park, Wilmette, Illinois.

"The light of the sun, warmth of the sand, shade of the willow tree, and reflections in the water, coupled with Ann's insightful teachings remind us of the inextricable link between the beauty of the world around us and the beauty within us. "

"Sharing yoga and it's lessons through Plein Air is Ann's life's work. Because of this, the focus and intention of Ann's classes comes from a different place. Classes are intimate and tailored by Ann to incorporate the needs and interests of her students. I feel lucky to have Ann as my teacher and guide."
