Written by The Edge Fitness Clubs | Jul 11, 2025 5:47:57 PM

There’s something magical about starting your day outside. The warmth of the sun, the sound of waves, and a deep breath of fresh air—it’s the perfect combo to reset your body and mind.

We’re so excited to invite YOU to our free Outdoor Yoga Class with Kimmarie Credido at 7 AM on Wednesday, July 16th at Walnut Beach in Milford, CT! 

Whether you're a longtime yogi or trying it for the first time, this all-levels flow is your chance to reconnect with nature, community, and yourself—no gym walls required. And the best part? It’s completely FREE and open to everyone—you don’t need to be a member of The Edge to join! 

🌞5 Feel-Good Reasons to Do Yoga Outside with our Edge Family: 

  1. Sunrise Boost = Natural Energy
    Forget coffee—sunlight signals your brain to wake up and feel energized. Practicing yoga as the sun rises helps set a positive tone for your whole day.
  2. Fresh Air > Filtered Air
    Breathing in clean, outdoor air during movement improves oxygen flow, reduces stress, and even boosts brain function. 
  3. Nature’s Soundtrack
    No playlist needed—the calming sounds of the ocean or birdsong can naturally lower cortisol and improve focus during your practice.
  4. Move More Mindfully
    When you’re outside, your senses are heightened. You feel the breeze, the warmth, the grounding earth under your mat—which helps you stay present and mindful.
  5. It’s a Vibe
    Let’s be real… yoga at the beach just feels good. There’s nothing like stretching it out in the open air, surrounded by good energy and a welcoming community.
