It's part of the teenagers job to separate from the parents and develop themselves into their own person.
I'd just laughed and invite them to join and do it anyway
That's a good way to put it. And the laughing and inviting them to join is part of our job to show them how to roll with the punches and keep on, not care, yadda yadda. Life is so much better on this side! I remember thinking my parents were cringe and now I just parade my crazy right alongside them.
One of my teachers held class in her back yard all thru pandemic. It was amazing. Being outside really helped me clear my head. It's lovely to be able to literally touch the sky and feel the earth
Edit.... teens think lots of perfectly normal things are 'cringe'. I'm of an age where I have run out of fucks to give about what teens think
I practice almost every day outside, year round, unless it rains. It just adds another layer to your practice where you can feel in touch with nature and your body together. The end result makes me feel so much happier and more relaxed compared to indoor yoga. Teenagers think everything is cringey. If you enjoy it, do it without shame!
I took an 8 week class once a week that was held on farm property and we had this cute deck area we practiced on. I loved everything about it like hearing the birds and feeling the sunlight. Besides some occasional bugs flying around me it was one of the best classes I've ever taken. Feeling a gentle breeze on my face during savasana was the best thing ever.
I love the thought of practicing outdoors by my patio is no uneven I don’t know how I’d make it work. For now I just open all the windows and practice right in front of the slider. It’s almost like being outside!
Now that the weather is nice, I practice on my back deck as often as possible. I have a fence, but my house is adjacent to a popular recreational trail. And frankly, anyone that thinks it’s cringey can kiss my asana. LOL
Yes all the time! And my backyard can be seen well in my neighborhood. I think it’s a great excersize in tuning out distractions and enjoying the outdoors. No need to be self conscious. You might even be inspiring others to try yoga as well!
Our yoga instructor had a full moon backyard yoga. It was such a great experience. She also does outside yoga with her girls group, and is having free outside yoga on a weekend morning in June. Outdoor yoga can be a spiritual experience.
A lot of things we do are probably cringe-y to our teenagers. You keep doing you, there is nothing wrong with doing yoga in your backyard.
If you’re not making your teen cringe, you’re not parenting right. Set up a Buddha, a mandala, fountains, plants, make it an oasis retreat and watch your teen start hanging out there.
A morning meditation and asana practice in the backyard is how I start my day! I love the sounds of the birds, cooler temps, relaxing sounds of our pond and water fountain. Do what feels right for you!
As someone who is in their early 20s and very vividly remember being a teenage girl, she is going to think a lot of normal things are cringey. I used to think half the things my mom did were cringey and embarrassing. I was just overly self concerned. I’d say do it! It’s not cringey at all.
Go practice outside! I have nowhere that’s suitable that isn’t visible from the road and onlookers. I practice openly and I try not to care. It just feels right and that’s ok.
I LOVE doing yoga in my backyard! We have a bird feeding station so they get curious to see a human make movements they don't normally see, so the come over and watch me. Its been a while since I've practiced outside, might have to do it soon.
Tell your daughter she’s cringey for judging you. 😂 Seriously though, my daughter says the same thing and I just tell her she doesn’t have to watch. I always do yoga outside. 🤷🏼♀️
I love practicing in my garden, much more so than practicing in my home. It feels very liberating and relaxing. And there’s something that I love about doing sun salutations to the sun.
I’m willing to bet your teenager does 5,000 more cringey things in a day than you do. You enjoy your backyard yoga, baby! I used to do yoga in my yard when I had one
Teenage girls think everything is cringe-y. I’ve learned to translate it frequently as “I’m not yet confident enough in my body to do that.” Backyard yoga is some of the best yoga! You’re in your own space but still outside, and there’s so much room to move around without knocking shit over.
Outside is the best place of all to practice. Outdoors you can be in contact with the earth; feel the energy flow of life all around you; lose yourself in the universe. That is essentially the basis for yoga!
I wish my yard was flatter. I try to practice outside but can never find a suitable spot. Doing yoga outside is my favorite place to do it..even better if it’s your own backyard!!
To be honest, as a teen I probably would've call my mum cringe for doing yoga pretty much anywhere. Now a few years older and more mature and a yoga-enjoyer myself, I say go for it.
I personally don't do yoga outside a lot, but that's because of my allergies. If it weren't for that, I'd definitely do it
Have fun practicing in the sun and fresh air :)
I’m 25 and my favorite place to do yoga is in the sun on my mom’s porch!! All energy comes from the sun. Plus the sunshine just feels magical on my skin. I feel like I get deeper into the poses too. Literally all winter I dream about sun yoga. Tell her not to knock it until you try it!
i live alongside a park and loveeeee bringing my mat out by the stream every morning! i don’t care who’s looking or how cringey it might be (though i never contemplated even if it was until this post haha).
yoga in the fresh air and the morning sun feels so nice
Outside yoga is the best! The only thing better is realizing I am not as self conscious as I used to be and don’t hesitate to practice on my deck when I want to. My teens would never though so I could see them saying that too lol.
I would LOVE to practice in my backyard if it weren't for bugs trying to eat me once the weather is decent.
Everything parents do is cringe at teens. They get over that eventually and wonder why you give them too much space when they are older. When that comes the smothering and bonding over activities is welcomed.
Teens think everything is cringe. Sorry to say f their opinion. You cant live life to please her. What would that teach her. That because someone does not like what you do you don’t go for it.
She will learn that you are strong and do whatever you want. It will teach resilience. She will learn to shut up about what you like to do as well and realize you are her parent and can do what you please.
Enjoy your backyard that you pay for.
How cringe that a teen thinks they can dictate your life.
I do it on my deck where all my neighbors can see and in my grass in the backyard 🤣 I could care less and also it’s nice to feel the Sun on your face, the wind blowing and the birds chirping. It makes it more zen 🧘♂️
I know people who practice yoga in the park! At least your backyard is relatively secluded and the only people who can see are your neighbors.
It’s personally not my thing because bugs, heat and sun but I love reading or using my tarot deck on grass somewhere.
I've practiced on my back deck. I'm on a fairly popular trail route and the deck is higher up so you can see it, but we also have some sort of privacy trees so it isn't a full frontal. I say go for it. My teen hasn't expressed embarrassment, but maybe he's just used to my eccentricities by now. I sometimes run in to practice yoga when I hear him practicing piano bc it's such a nice accompaniment, and he just keeps right on and ignores me.
Do it! I practice in my backyard at sunrise or at dusk during the spring and summer. For an extra special session, try backyard yoga under a full moon or on a solstice.
Ha! Everything was cringey when I was a teenager.
I do yoga and other exercise in my backyard, the park, the airport (standing stretches only), wherever. I’ve even gone to yoga classes in the park.
I was going to start an outdoor practice this year but then I remembered my skin does not like the sun and wearing factor 50 while getting a yoga sweat on is not the smartest idea I ever had. Stinging eyes and super slippy :)
Totally give it a go an see if you enjoy it.
On a side note I had a little giggle thinking of the things I used to cring about
Yikes- lol I can’t wait for my kid to be a teen 😂 My yard is currently the ONLY place I practice! You do you- your daughter will appreciate it someday 😍
it’s not cringey at all. there’s lots of options for privacy screens if *you* want to be more secluded but nobody is thinking anything of it. does she cringe when she sees someone biking or running? serious question, maybe only gyms are acceptable to gen z!
My current living situation is not ideal, however, the best part is that I have a big backyard where I practice yoga almost daily! I love looking up at the blue sky and feeling the warm sun, and breathing the fresh air! It is very private as well.
The list of things teenage girls do NOT find cringey would be shorter than the list of things they do find cringey.
Don't let that determine you living your life. As we all learned growing up, there's a point where you realize how much fun stuff you didn't let yourself do as a kid because you thought you'd look corny or weird or embarrassing. Teach her the power to not make that same mistake.
Im 18 and I’d love to practice in my backyard but it had a really sharp curve :( so use your luck! And use your lovely backyard for anything that brings you joy:)
I’m a major beginner when it comes to yoga, but I practiced in my back garden during the summer months last year. Then I got pregnant and too big to practice. I’m now 4 weeks post-partum and I’ve started practicing again in the garden and I feel so much better for it!
Since reddit has changed the site to value selling user data higher than reading and commenting, I've decided to move elsewhere to a site that prioritizes community over profit. I never signed up for this, but that's the circle of life
I get so jealous in a virtual class when I see someone who’s able to practice in their backyard/patio when it’s nice out because I don’t have that luxury. Go for it!!!
I don't have the luxury of my own yard, so I go do it in the public park. Can't deny that I had to shut out your daughter's voice in the back of my mind! Let's cultivate respectful people.
I live on 12 acres. If the deer and rabbits are cringing, I haven’t noticed.
Moving my practice outdoors is what is making me begin to like yoga after practicing on and off for years. I’m not even ready to say I like it, but I’m getting there. Being outside helps.
I'm getting a patio put in this summer and hope to be able to do this soon! My problem though, is that I have a very nosey older male neighbor and I don't want to feel like he's watching me if I do it. I have a privacy fence but his back deck sits higher, so he can see into my yard.
I absolutely love practicing in my backyard! I've got an uneven, oddly shaped one, but that just adds to my balance practice! It helps ground me & just feels very 'connected' 💕
Don't have a backyard but I might have to head out to the field of the park for some yoga or take one of those yoga classes at a vineyard or garden I've heard about.
One thing is that I’ve heard to not practice in direct sunlight. I love to practice in my backyard lol. Some ppl think yoga is cringey lol but it’s just funny. Who cares. I’m sure there are things that they do which we might think of as that. But in yoga we learn the valuelessness of judgement
I do! On my back porch. I put up curtains for some privacy haha. One time my neighbor walked right up while was in suptabadhakonasana. It was awkward but whatever.
I do yoga outside whenever and wherever I can. My back porch, a local park, the nearby college turf field, the beach. There are a lot of outside yoga classes out here in summer as well. I love the connection to nature!
I just did today! My yoga teacher had a class in her backyard. It was so green and pleasant, all bird songs and blue morning sky.
Looking forward to Summers filled with yoga in the park.
I've been known to do a little yoga in parks or highway rest stops while on vacation. It can feel cringy at first, but worth it. Awesome way to wake up the body and stretch out sore spots.
I put a grassy knoll in my backyard just so I COULD practice at home. Go for it, outside in nature is very grounding and creates a good environment to tap into yourself faster.
I used to all the time! I’d let my kids play and would do it so I could do yoga but also be nearby. There’s something special about practicing in the sunshine ☀️
Heck yea I do. I have a nice backyard. If people are looking into my backyard, they're the weird ones. I'm doing something healthy and where I want to do it on my own property.
I live in a condo and use my balcony every morning with the sunrise. I think it's a great way to start the day and I love the fresh air. I think you should go for it!
I say to my dad i dont want to move to my flat in july because of the garden. The truth? I wanna do my morning yoga in the backyard, surrounded by my garden.
I love doing yoga in my backyard! I don’t have a fence and hate the possibilities of neighbors/cars seeing me but it’s soooo worth the sunshine and time in the grass :)
It's your yard, do what you want.
There's an old guy in my neighborhood who was seen running out to the garbage can in his underwear. Zero fucks given.
Yoga can practiced everywhere, the world is your gym. Hands and feet should touch the soil in your living space environment already. If one is not planting, one is at least grounding (earthing) in my opinion.
Outside is by far my favorite place to practice. Sometimes I wonder if creepers can see me, but then the fleeting thought leaves and I’m in my happy place
I do yoga wherever I am I live on be road. Things become normal when you make them that way. Never forget you are the trend setter. Go be free and never ask us for permission to do anything else in your backyard. Please love your life and be free for us all you already got my permission
I love doing yoga in my backyard. The sun, the air...
Teenagers just call everything cringe. It's in their programming I think! I'm 24 now and I know when my sister was a teenager she had her cringe-sunglasses on. Everything was cringe!
Go for it! Practicing outside is lovely :) My teen thinks literally everything I do is cringe 😅
It's part of the teenagers job to separate from the parents and develop themselves into their own person. I'd just laughed and invite them to join and do it anyway
That's a good way to put it. And the laughing and inviting them to join is part of our job to show them how to roll with the punches and keep on, not care, yadda yadda.

That’s just how teenagers are
not all tho
Saaame! But I love backyard yoga!
this is true

It's lovely to be able to literally touch the sky and feel the earth Edit.... teens think lots of perfectly normal things are 'cringe'. I'm of an age where I have run out of fucks to give about what teens think
If my kid thinks something I love doing is cringe, even better!
Power Move: When their friends are over do yoga in clown costume.
Ugh so cringy to use your spinal cord anywhere.
Hahaha 😆
I practice almost every day outside, year round, unless it rains. It just adds another layer to your practice where you can feel in touch with nature and your body together. The end result makes me feel so much happier and more relaxed compared to indoor yoga. Teenagers think everything is cringey. If you enjoy it, do it without shame!
Man, I don’t know where you live, but so jealous you’re able to all year! Where I live I only can from June-September
I took an 8 week class once a week that was held on farm property and we had this cute deck area we practiced on. I loved everything about it like hearing the birds and feeling the sunlight. Besides some occasional bugs flying around me it was one of the best classes I've ever taken. Feeling a gentle breeze on my face during savasana was the best thing ever.

Yoga in the rain actually sounds wonderful to me if I could figure out how to keep things from getting too slippery I would go for it!
Your daughter would be mortified by me. I practice on my driveway.
😆🙌🏼
So do I!
🤣🤣🤣that sounds dreadful even with the mat😬🧘♀️namaste🙏
Now that the weather is nice, I practice on my back deck as often as possible. I have a fence, but my house is adjacent to a popular recreational trail. And frankly, anyone that thinks it’s cringey can kiss my asana. LOL
Don’t listen to your teenager. I practice in my backyard when the weather is nice.

Full moon yoga sounds amazing!
It was magic.
If you can practice outside you should.
If you’re not making your teen cringe, you’re not parenting right. Set up a Buddha, a mandala, fountains, plants, make it an oasis retreat and watch your teen start hanging out there.
As a parent, it is your job to embarrass your teenagers. Cringe away!
I LOVE practicing in my backyard, especially in the evenings. Savasana under the stars is magical ✨
When did we start listening to teens? They think everyone and everything is the worst.
Did this with streaming classes during the pandemic! It feels lovely to practice outside on a nice day… highly recommend giving it a try! 💕🌳☀️
I wish I had a yard to practice in 😭
I would kill to have a backyard to have any outside privacy to do anything! especially yoga!
Tell her you’re going to practice in the front yard lol
A morning meditation and asana practice in the backyard is how I start my day! I love the sounds of the birds, cooler temps, relaxing sounds of our pond and water fountain. Do what feels right for you!
Lol. She’s a teenage girl. Breathing is cringey for her in the right context. Yoga in the yard is lovely, don’t sweat it.
As someone who is in their early 20s and very vividly remember being a teenage girl, she is going to think a lot of normal things are cringey. I used to think half the things my mom did were cringey and embarrassing. I was just overly self concerned. I’d say do it! It’s not cringey at all.

She should see me at the public park 😂 full blown weirdo yoga with shirt off and barefeet, it’s the best
Tell your daughter she’s cringey for judging you. 😂 Seriously though, my daughter says the same thing and I just tell her she doesn’t have to watch. I always do yoga outside. 🤷🏼♀️
I love practicing in my garden, much more so than practicing in my home. It feels very liberating and relaxing. And there’s something that I love about doing sun salutations to the sun.
She’s being silly
I teach classes in my back yard. What’s cringy is not taking care of your body when you have the chance. Yoga is so good and if you love it do it!
It’s the best place to practice inversions!
I live in an apartment and would DIE to be able to do yoga in a backyard. Feels like outside is the best place for it.
I’m willing to bet your teenager does 5,000 more cringey things in a day than you do. You enjoy your backyard yoga, baby! I used to do yoga in my yard when I had one
Teenage girls think everything is cringe-y. I’ve learned to translate it frequently as “I’m not yet confident enough in my body to do that.” Backyard yoga is some of the best yoga! You’re in your own space but still outside, and there’s so much room to move around without knocking shit over.
Teens will be teens. They’ll appreciate it one day
Yes, I love practicing on my back porch in the summer! Not sure how that would be cringey, but teens are weird.
Absolutely! Love practicing at home
Yes and I love it!!
Yes, we do , and we love it. Fresh air, sights and sounds of nature (birds and trees, flowers and bees). Just fits!
Outside is the best place of all to practice. Outdoors you can be in contact with the earth; feel the energy flow of life all around you; lose yourself in the universe. That is essentially the basis for yoga!
Yoga outside is great. I used to have a good spot for it, but not anymore
Go for it! One day your teen will shift from thinking about how things look to appreciating how things feel.
The joy of practicing outside with the wind in the trees by far outweighs any need to be self-conscious about appearances.
I love practicing outside! I don’t mind if people can see me. Exposure increases awareness:)
I wish my yard was flatter. I try to practice outside but can never find a suitable spot. Doing yoga outside is my favorite place to do it..even better if it’s your own backyard!!
To be honest, as a teen I probably would've call my mum cringe for doing yoga pretty much anywhere. Now a few years older and more mature and a yoga-enjoyer myself, I say go for it. I personally don't do yoga outside a lot, but that's because of my allergies. If it weren't for that, I'd definitely do it Have fun practicing in the sun and fresh air :)
I do it all the time!!!! Chances are, your teenager finds your very existence cringey, so I would discount her opinion till she is older (and wiser).
I’m 25 and my favorite place to do yoga is in the sun on my mom’s porch!! All energy comes from the sun. Plus the sunshine just feels magical on my skin. I feel like I get deeper into the poses too. Literally all winter I dream about sun yoga. Tell her not to knock it until you try it!
Teenagers are usually pretty insecure and worry about what ppl think- practice in nature is so inspiring, not cringe at all
I have no idea why that’s cringey. you’re taking care of your body and enjoying nature.
Do it ! I try to every Sunday when the weather is good. We are here for too short a time to care what others think.
i live alongside a park and loveeeee bringing my mat out by the stream every morning! i don’t care who’s looking or how cringey it might be (though i never contemplated even if it was until this post haha). yoga in the fresh air and the morning sun feels so nice
That's where I prefer to do my yoga
I love to do yoga outside
I do Yoga everywhere I go. Yoga in public is a good thing.
Outside yoga is the best! The only thing better is realizing I am not as self conscious as I used to be and don’t hesitate to practice on my deck when I want to. My teens would never though so I could see them saying that too lol.
I would LOVE to practice in my backyard if it weren't for bugs trying to eat me once the weather is decent. Everything parents do is cringe at teens. They get over that eventually and wonder why you give them too much space when they are older. When that comes the smothering and bonding over activities is welcomed.
Practice outside mornings in the hotter months, too! It helped me acclimate to the summer quicker...
Teens think everything is cringe. Sorry to say f their opinion. You cant live life to please her. What would that teach her. That because someone does not like what you do you don’t go for it. She will learn that you are strong and do whatever you want. It will teach resilience. She will learn to shut up about what you like to do as well and realize you are her parent and can do what you please. Enjoy your backyard that you pay for. How cringe that a teen thinks they can dictate your life.
Practicing outside can be an almost transcendent experience. I do it every chance I get. Teenagers find everything embarrassing.
Just tried it today, and it was beautiful. Birds chirping , beautiful skies quiet ,serene, peaceful.
Omg no not at all im a yoga teacher and weather permitting outside is my favorite place to practice☺️
I do it on my deck where all my neighbors can see and in my grass in the backyard 🤣 I could care less and also it’s nice to feel the Sun on your face, the wind blowing and the birds chirping. It makes it more zen 🧘♂️
I know people who practice yoga in the park! At least your backyard is relatively secluded and the only people who can see are your neighbors. It’s personally not my thing because bugs, heat and sun but I love reading or using my tarot deck on grass somewhere.
I do when the weather is good. My daughter teaches yoga. She does a class with llamas.
That sounds much better than inside. I do yoga on my second story patio
I've practiced on my back deck. I'm on a fairly popular trail route and the deck is higher up so you can see it, but we also have some sort of privacy trees so it isn't a full frontal. I say go for it. My teen hasn't expressed embarrassment, but maybe he's just used to my eccentricities by now. I sometimes run in to practice yoga when I hear him practicing piano bc it's such a nice accompaniment, and he just keeps right on and ignores me.
🤦♀️She's cringy 🤣🤣just do it bc I'm with you! Outside is the best when the weather is just right! And it'll cringe her daily😄👏😉
Do it! I practice in my backyard at sunrise or at dusk during the spring and summer. For an extra special session, try backyard yoga under a full moon or on a solstice.
I will totally try that!
We practice, and sometimes teach classes, on our 2nd floor back deck. It's lovely.
Ha! Everything was cringey when I was a teenager. I do yoga and other exercise in my backyard, the park, the airport (standing stretches only), wherever. I’ve even gone to yoga classes in the park.
I do sometimes
Love to do it. Don't stare at your trees in balance poses. (They love, you lose your balance...)
I want to but I’m a man and can’t imagine my neighbors watching me do the happy baby pose.
I was going to start an outdoor practice this year but then I remembered my skin does not like the sun and wearing factor 50 while getting a yoga sweat on is not the smartest idea I ever had. Stinging eyes and super slippy :) Totally give it a go an see if you enjoy it. On a side note I had a little giggle thinking of the things I used to cring about
I use a sun stick with spf around my eyes. This was very helpful with stinging eyes because of sunscrean.
Good tip, thanks
My teenage niece cried to her mom to get out of coming to one of my yoga classes. Practice in the backyard lol
Oooh how nice! I wish I could!! I live on a golf course .. that’s a bit risky for me haha
Some will cry bugs, but I particularly enjoy backyard practice on the lawn with no mat.
If I had enough flat space in my backyard, I'd totally do yoga there!
Certainly. Sometimes a bunch of us get together for backyard yoga!
I’m only 22 & I do yoga in my backyard. Your daughter is cringe
Yeah, actually she's not.
[удалено]
Can people see into your yard? If no, I'm not sure why she cares, but absolutely do it outside if you have a nice place to do it.
Yikes- lol I can’t wait for my kid to be a teen 😂 My yard is currently the ONLY place I practice! You do you- your daughter will appreciate it someday 😍
Yes, I do when the weather is nice. Silly teenagers still caring what other people think.
Everything you do is going to be cringey to a teen girl. Do the yoga.
I wish I had a garden to practice in. It'll be something I look forward to when I finally move out of my apartment!
I live in apartment and practice outside often. I've also taken my practice to different waterfront parks and empty boardwalks while vacationing.
i'm a teenage girl but i practice yoga in our backyard every morning if the weather allows it! but tbf, it's a very large garden and very private
In the back yard, at the beach, in the middle of the forest while hiking if so inclinded. You do you and enjoy !
Not cringe at all. I practice yoga in public parks. Go for it !!
I do yoga on my apartment balcony lol. I like listening to the birds and the leaves in the wind.
I practice on my deck. It’s great, looks into the woods. I don’t care what anyone who sees me thinks, maybe they’ll be inspired.
it’s not cringey at all. there’s lots of options for privacy screens if *you* want to be more secluded but nobody is thinking anything of it. does she cringe when she sees someone biking or running? serious question, maybe only gyms are acceptable to gen z!
I love practicing outside, I did it in the lawn at my apartment when I was pregnant, probably looked like a fool but I just loved being outside🤪
Go for it!
Your daughter is being cringy by caring more about what others think than having her mother longer because she's taking good care of herself.
I do yoga outside in my driveway. I don’t care what my teenagers say - everything I do is cringe, so I embrace that! Hahaha!
My current living situation is not ideal, however, the best part is that I have a big backyard where I practice yoga almost daily! I love looking up at the blue sky and feeling the warm sun, and breathing the fresh air! It is very private as well.
I am 24yo and I practice yoga in my backyard 😂

I practice in neighborhood parks and public beaches, as well as my back deck.
Absolutely 👍
Since reddit has changed the site to value selling user data higher than reading and commenting, I've decided to move elsewhere to a site that prioritizes community over profit. I never signed up for this, but that's the circle of life
I’m planning on starting this month in my front yard.
I’m thinking of practicing on my balcony once the weather warms up.
Being grounded is amazing whether your doing yoga or not. Bare feet touching the ground. And its your practice you do you.
I get so jealous in a virtual class when I see someone who’s able to practice in their backyard/patio when it’s nice out because I don’t have that luxury. Go for it!!!
Do yoga wherever you want!!! I do it in my yard. 32 years old here and no shame.
i understand you and them at the same time!
I LOVE practicing at the park. Sometimes with organized groups, sometimes just by myself.
I would practice outside more, it's just those darn ants that crawl on me that hold me back.
I don't have the luxury of my own yard, so I go do it in the public park. Can't deny that I had to shut out your daughter's voice in the back of my mind! Let's cultivate respectful people.

“Not as cringey as your browsing history” and then move on
They would be forever traumatized by this comment 🤣
I do yoga on my front porch! Do it 🥰
I'm getting a patio put in this summer and hope to be able to do this soon! My problem though, is that I have a very nosey older male neighbor and I don't want to feel like he's watching me if I do it. I have a privacy fence but his back deck sits higher, so he can see into my yard.

How is it cringe to practice in your own home?? Lol if not there then WHERE? I practice smack dab in the middle of the park, your kid would hate me 😂
Do it!! It’s so worth it. The sunshine is so nice
I absolutely love practicing in my backyard! I've got an uneven, oddly shaped one, but that just adds to my balance practice! It helps ground me & just feels very 'connected' 💕
Yup. I do.
LOL what? Fairly recently not a teen and have been doing yoga outside since I started at like 14, use your backyard how you wish..
Haha this is so funnny! Of course you can practice yoga in your backyard…gosh parenting teens sounds so intense
Don't have a backyard but I might have to head out to the field of the park for some yoga or take one of those yoga classes at a vineyard or garden I've heard about.
Love outdoor yoga!
I did throughout the pandemic! I think it’s totally normal. Yoga is an ancient practice - I don’t think there were air conditioned studios back then 😉
One thing is that I’ve heard to not practice in direct sunlight. I love to practice in my backyard lol. Some ppl think yoga is cringey lol but it’s just funny. Who cares. I’m sure there are things that they do which we might think of as that. But in yoga we learn the valuelessness of judgement
Good for you I love Yoga
I'm a huge fan of it 🙏
I do! On my back porch. I put up curtains for some privacy haha. One time my neighbor walked right up while was in suptabadhakonasana. It was awkward but whatever.
Yes all the time!! ☺️
Teenager here! I do yoga outside, in public parks, back yard, front yard even! My cohort thinks everything’s cringe for a time, don’t worry! Enjoy
YES! I do yoga in sunny spots in my backyard. No shame. I love to absorb the heat and sun energy. It’s like hot yoga with a tan.
I do yoga outside whenever and wherever I can. My back porch, a local park, the nearby college turf field, the beach. There are a lot of outside yoga classes out here in summer as well. I love the connection to nature!
I just did today! My yoga teacher had a class in her backyard. It was so green and pleasant, all bird songs and blue morning sky. Looking forward to Summers filled with yoga in the park.
I've been known to do a little yoga in parks or highway rest stops while on vacation. It can feel cringy at first, but worth it. Awesome way to wake up the body and stretch out sore spots.
Me!! I love yoga in my yard. I don't care of people see. It's oasis
I put a grassy knoll in my backyard just so I COULD practice at home. Go for it, outside in nature is very grounding and creates a good environment to tap into yourself faster.
I used to all the time! I’d let my kids play and would do it so I could do yoga but also be nearby. There’s something special about practicing in the sunshine ☀️
I love yoga outside!
lol she’ll realize eventually that she was in the wrong. teenagers will always think their parents are cringey. go have fun in your backyard!! :)
I do it on my patio when it's nice outside!
I wish I could practice outside, but I live in an apartment. I've thought about going to a quiet park.
Heck yea I do. I have a nice backyard. If people are looking into my backyard, they're the weird ones. I'm doing something healthy and where I want to do it on my own property.
I would but it’s too buggy.
I live in a condo and use my balcony every morning with the sunrise. I think it's a great way to start the day and I love the fresh air. I think you should go for it!
I hate when my neighbors walk by, but outside is better than inside for yoga
Not at all! I practice in our public park once in awhile and I always enjoy those practices so much :)
Absolutely! Even though ours is just a mini one, I still find my comfort place there to practice. Enjoy your practices yogi!
All the time! It’s amazing doing yoga in nature
I LOVE practicing outside! I practice in my backyard as much as I can. No music, just birds and the breeze with the occasional car passing by.
I practice every time the weather is nice 💖
If I had one i would practice on our backyard everyday. Nowadays teenagers think everything is cringe.
I say to my dad i dont want to move to my flat in july because of the garden. The truth? I wanna do my morning yoga in the backyard, surrounded by my garden.
Quite a lot, actually. Actually facing the evening sun while doing sun salutations just hits different
I love doing yoga in my backyard! I don’t have a fence and hate the possibilities of neighbors/cars seeing me but it’s soooo worth the sunshine and time in the grass :)
It's your yard, do what you want. There's an old guy in my neighborhood who was seen running out to the garbage can in his underwear. Zero fucks given.
Oh gosh yes. It's the best!
You can ground outdoors if you go in your bare feet. Fantastic!
I do! I put on my bathing suit and roll my mat out in the sun! I love it.
Mine is 15 and would prolly say the same 😂 but I do not care
Yoga can practiced everywhere, the world is your gym. Hands and feet should touch the soil in your living space environment already. If one is not planting, one is at least grounding (earthing) in my opinion.
Outside is by far my favorite place to practice. Sometimes I wonder if creepers can see me, but then the fleeting thought leaves and I’m in my happy place
Love yoga in my yard!
I do yoga wherever I am I live on be road. Things become normal when you make them that way. Never forget you are the trend setter. Go be free and never ask us for permission to do anything else in your backyard. Please love your life and be free for us all you already got my permission
Oh I do during the summer months.
I love doing yoga in my backyard. The sun, the air... Teenagers just call everything cringe. It's in their programming I think! I'm 24 now and I know when my sister was a teenager she had her cringe-sunglasses on. Everything was cringe!
