My friend Lynn is vacationing with her family on the Outer Banks of North Carolina this week. I asked her to do a guest post today on her experience out there, in tune with the ocean and it’s soothing vibes. She’s a big fan of yoga and it’s benefits. What a perfect place to practice the art ~
To me the beach and yoga have many similarities. Both bring me peace, a sense of calm and a safe haven. Just as the tides are always changing, so does life. Yoga helps to keep me centered and to appreciated all of life’s blessings for which I am truly grateful.
There are so many things to love about the Outer Banks, but I’d have to say my favorite thing is walking this same path every morning to sit quietly, practice a little yoga and take in a glorious sunrise. Namaste to that!
There is beauty in nature everywhere…
We love collecting all the different kinds of seashells after high tide…
..and taking late afternoon walks along the beach..
where we’ve come across some pretty cool sand creations by local artists!
To listen to the soothing rythym and sound of the waves crashing along
the shore until sunset is to witness an ageless ritual that has not changed
since the beginning of time…
There is peace here.
Those images look so peaceful and relaxing, and yoga is something that id love to try to help me relax. Great images and i like your American store on the post before this, its something i really believe in which is to buy as much american products as you can. Richard from Amish Stories.
Soooo peaceful. Really nice post, my favorite way to vacation, near the ocean.
Great pictures! I can't believe the beautiful shells that you can find there! The setting looks perfect for a yoga session.
Have a great day.

I seriously found this post very relaxing! If it weren't for the blasted rain I'd walk down to the beach right now – we're in Maine. Oh well, maybe later today or tomorrow!
What gorgeous photos! Peaceful indeed! The outer banks is on my "bucket list" 🙂 Thank you Lynn!
Thanks Karen. I needed a trip to the beach and the Outer Banks are always a lovely spot to relax and reflect on life's pleasures.
Beautiful photos Lynn. Thanks for taking us along.

The water shots are nice and make me hope to pay a visit there. 🙂
This is a beautiful post. I felt calm just reading it and looking at the stunning pictures!!
XO,
Jane
looks so very peaceful. love the shells!
Love the Outer Banks. I ran their marathon a few years ago. Beautiful!
Great photos! The beach is a wonderful place to relax, unwind and enjoy the beauty of nature!
True perfection:)
I would love to be there! How fortunate to be able to find peace, too. Peace is very elusive to me.
I've practiced yoga on a regular (1 hr. every day) basis for 6 or 7 years now. I incorporate prayer and meditation, and that's how I relax enough to fall asleep at night. I do my routine inside but, there are lots of people at any given time doing it on the beach here. It looks like your friend Lynn took advantage of all the peace without to bring all the peace within. Gorgeous beach pics too.
I've always been interested in yoga, but have not tried it (yet.) Such a pretty and peaceful place. I'm glad your friend Lynn had an opportunity to visit your blog and post today. 🙂
Very nice!
Karen, when you visit here we'll go OMing at the beach. 🙂
do you have any idea how beach posts grab my heart and toss it around until it feels all jealous and queasy….well they do 🙂

Outer Banks is a fave of ours! You and Lynn could be sissy's 🙂

Oh…how I adore The Outer Banks!
Beautiful and I sure miss the ocean.
Beautiful! I'm in the mountains of NC…very different but beautiful, too! I love the shells..and sand sculpture! Looks like FUN and I know it's great weather! ♥
How beautiful. I love the Outer Banks. Vacationed on Hatteras since 1979 and then Ocracoke. Love!
