From Cottage to Coastline: How to Stay Grounded All Summer Long

Vacations are meant to restore us. But how often do we return from a week away feeling more frazzled than refreshed?

Between airport chaos, late nights, road trips, and even the joyful stress of a fun-filled schedule or seeing friends and family, summer vacations can sometimes leave our nervous systems more scattered than serene. That’s where your yoga practice comes in—not as another thing to do, but as a powerful way to reset and recharge while you’re away.

You don’t need a mat, props, or even a full hour to reap the benefits of your practice. You just need a few intentional minutes to breathe, stretch, and reconnect.

Whether it’s five sun salutations on the dock before everyone else wakes up, a short Modo Flow practice on a balcony between beach swims, or a quick Modo Yin session before bed—these simple moments of practice anchor you back to your body, your breath, and your why. They help you actually rest while on vacation, not just “take time off.”

Even the smallest bit of practice while on vacation can:

  • Keep your body feeling open and energized for summer activities
  • Help regulate your sleep (hello, late nights!)
  • Support digestion while you indulge in vacation treats
  • Calm your mind and soothe your nervous system
  • Remind you that you are your home base, no matter where you are

If you’re away from the hot room this summer, you don’t have to press pause on your practice. All monthly memberships at your local Modo Yoga studio include free access to Modo Yoga Online, our digital platform with on-demand classes in a variety of styles—from Modo and Modo Flow to Yin, breathwork, and Pilates. All you have to do is ask your studio to set you up.

Don’t have a studio membership? No problem. You can try Modo Yoga Online for free with our 14-day free trial and keep your practice going—even from the end of your dock.

Vacations are a beautiful opportunity to break from routine. But your yoga practice doesn’t tie you down—it sets you free. It helps you come back to your center, again and again, no matter where the summer takes you.

So roll out your mat—or just sit tall and breathe—and give yourself the kind of rest that actually restores.

Team Modo 💛
