Beyond the Mat: Yoga for the Brooklyn Commute

Beyond the Mat: Yoga for the Brooklyn Commute

Whether you are navigating the G train or biking across the Williamsburg Bridge, the Brooklyn commute is a workout in itself. At Yoga Tribe Brooklyn, we believe your practice shouldn't end when you roll up your mat. You can use the principles of the 26+2 series to make your daily travels less stressful and more mindful.

Core Engagement on the Subway

When the train jolts, don't just rely on the pole. Engage your abdominal muscles—the same way we do in Awkward Pose. By finding your center and "locking" your legs, you turn a bumpy ride into a balance exercise.

The Pranayama Breath in Traffic

Stuck in traffic on Flatbush Ave? Instead of letting your blood pressure rise, return to your Pranayama breathing. Inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the throat calms the nervous system and lowers the heart rate, turning a stressful delay into a moment of zen.
