Do Yoga Outside
Emily’s Story
Do Yoga Outside was born from a simple yet powerful idea: yoga feels different—and even more transformative—when practiced in the beauty of nature. Based in Bend, Oregon, Do Yoga Outside combines mindful movement, connection, and the healing power of the outdoors to create an experience unlike any other.
Founded by Emily Tighe, a certified Yoga Instructor, Wilderness First Responder, and Oregon Outfitters Guide, this journey began in March 2023 after Emily took a step back from her career in public education to prioritize her mental health. Through this time of reflection, she discovered that practicing yoga outside brought her a sense of healing, happiness, and clarity that felt life-changing.
Now, that passion has grown into something bigger—a mission to share the grounding, refreshing, and deeply personal impact of yoga in nature with the community. Whether it’s an outdoor class, a private event, or a retreat, Do Yoga Outside is about more than movement; it’s about reconnecting—with yourself, with others, and with the Earth.
Let’s create meaningful experiences together—one yoga session under the open sky at a time.
