Outdoor yoga in the summer heat is a fantastic experience. Do you want to know how to practice outdoor yoga in Vegas? Try these yoga poses with simple tips.
I vacation in Vegas during the hottest months of the year. I can attest that you need to be prepared for the heat. For this summer’s Vegas vacation, I traveled with 5 of my girlfriends from high school. We rented a pool, jacuzzi equipped house on Airbnb. As an aside, I highly recommend this house on Airbnb.
Beat the heat
We would start our yoga practice early. I led the yoga routine. It is truly important to understand that when exercising in a different climate, you exercise with caution. Take it slow. If it feels right to your body, you can do more!
Hydrate Hydrate Hydrate
I can’t stress this enough! Make sure you drink water before, during and after your practice. I consumed many ounces of water.
YogaThreads
Here are suggestions on what to wear for your experience. I wore a bathing suit cover-up. I like the freedom, feel very comfortable with my friends. My friends chose bathing suits and shorts.
Apologies for the poor quality as we did not pose for the photo.
No Mats Needed
Remember, we were poolside. Pool towels with sofa pillows will do! We didn’t use pillows from inside of the house, they were part of the outdoor furniture.

I love the states with a hotter climate. Although I was in Vegas, you can use these tips anywhere. On vacation, you can have a wonderful time and feel great keeping active.
