For Suzanne Borovcova, yoga means home, peace and a safe space to grow — but only metaphorically speaking. That’s because it is life on the road and the daily change of environment that helps her truly live and experience the yoga philosophy on and off the mat. She is currently living the yoga van life on the open road with her photographer partner, Pierre Guilbaud. Follow her journey here in these images, in which she also shares in her own words some of the insights gleaned from living the yoga van life.
“To be on the road, discovering nature, people and cultures with all their languages and beliefs has always been my dream,” she tells OM. “I like to leave an impact everywhere I go, by sharing my passion for yoga and conscious living. It somehow all clicked when I met my boyfriend, who is an outdoor photographer and who had already been living in the van for some time. Our view on life matched and we decided to discover this beautiful planet together, having our small home with us and being grateful for the freelance work that allows us to be outside for much of our time, enjoying the nature that surrounds us.”

FREEDOM
Yoga can be done truly anywhere, it’s only on us deciding when and where we want to hold our practice. This fact gives me such relief and freedom to discover the world. Since I have been travelling and road-tripping (already for some years now), I have done my yoga practice every morning no matter where I am – sometimes I find myself by beautiful lakes, mountains or the ocean, and sometimes I wake up at a parking spot, just next to the road. But my practice is still there, waiting to wake me up and prepare for the day. During the warm months or in a warm destination it is a bit easier to find the perfect yoga spot — nature is calling and waiting for us with open arms to reconnect with her and practice outdoors. For me, that is the best spot for my practice. The perfect and endless yoga studio. This possibility of being outside, breathing the fresh air, and using our senses to truly feel the place, adds another dimension to my practice.
