The Lebanese have taken a deep liking to Yoga throughout the past two decades and its popularity keeps increasing and expanding for the many benefits it provides, for both the body and the mind.
However, Yoga is practically new in Lebanon considering that it reportedly dates back over 5,000 years to the Indus-Sarasvati civilization in Northern India. Some authors claim that it is even older.
During the summer season, some yoga centers in Lebanon provide outdoor sessions to enjoy the sun and the open space, optimizing the benefits of the yoga exercise.
Here are some summer destinations for outdoor yoga classes in Lebanon this summer:
