Elevated Zen: Why You Should Wake Up at 5 AM for Yoga
Forget the crowded gyms. We’re taking our practice 180 meters into the sky.
Look, I’m the first person to hit “snooze” five times on a Saturday morning, but for this, I make an exception. If you’ve been living in CDMX for more than a week, you know the Torre Latinoamericana is the ultimate icon of the skyline. But most people only see it from the ground or the observation deck at noon. The real “pro” move? Doing a downward dog while the sun slowly turns the city pink and gold
.
Yoga al Amanecer is more than just a workout; it’s a full-on vibe shift. You arrive while the city is still quiet—a rarity in this metropolis—and head up to the 44th floor. The floor-to-ceiling windows give you a front-row seat to the sunrise over the Zócalo and Bellas Artes. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or can barely touch your toes, the energy up there is unmatched. It’s the perfect way to clear that post-holiday brain fog and actually feel connected to this massive city.
It’s the ultimate “New Year, New Me” activity without being pretentious. Just remember to bring your own mat!
