Toronto Does Yoga In A Bubble To Practice Social Distancing

Yoga Bubble pop-up in Toronto promises a great yoga experience, but with a difference. In order to maintain social distance when doing yoga, this all-new yoga experience in Toronto, Canada, lets you do yoga inside a personal bubble. Also, the bubble domes are 7 feet tall and 12 feet wide. So people can have enough space for their stretches. These bubbles help yoga lovers to practise yoga outdoors even under the stars while maintaining social distancing. When it comes to bubbles, Bali actually has a bubble hotel where people can spend a night under the stars.

Innovative Yoga Bubble Trend Started On July 21 In Toronto

This innovative trend started on June 21. This trend will continue to please yoga lovers until July 31. Organised by Lmnts Outdoor Studio, they made 50 bubbles available outdoors. It’s currently organized by Lake Ontario, on the grounds of Hotel X. Instructors lead the yoga sessions from a raised podium so participants can follow along. They also provide verbal instructions through an audio system. In Thailand, campers can stay in a see-through bubble tent surrounded by elephants.
