👋 Hi, it's Madalyn! I followed Megan's lead and recently tried a Mobile Om yoga session on the Hays Street Bridge.
State of play: I wasn't sure how calming yoga would be on a downtown-adjacent bridge, with a skate park buzzing right below. But the sunset skyline views and steady breeze quickly set the tone.
The rolling of skateboards, the barking of neighborhood dogs and faint country music drifting from a nearby bar created an urban orchestra that surprisingly harmonized with the sound bowls during shavasana — so much so that I actually dozed off for a bit.
The bottom line: Meditation can happen in the most unexpected places.
What's next: Mobile Om has a full calendar of events this week. Find a class here.
