Yoga or Fitness Platform

For those who want to exercise without going to a gym or yoga studio, adding a fitness or yoga platform in the yard can be an attractive option. Besides the convenience, engaging in green exercise — any activity where you interact with nature while moving your body and breaking a sweat — offers tremendous health benefits, including reducing stress and boosting mood.

According to Aine Rock, a yoga instructor and integrative life coach, taking your yoga practice outdoors increases the benefits of exercise.

“By creating a small outdoor space, you can get some fresh air and shift your energy,” she says. “Place some plants or flowers nearby so your eyes can rest on nature.”

These platforms can be made from wood, bamboo, concrete or even eco-friendly composite materials of recycled plastic. Be sure the deck is larger than a standard yoga mat (24-in. wide by 68- to 72-in. long) to leave space to move around.
