My ideal place to practice yoga!

The Hatha Yoga Pradipika states, "the Yogi should practice Hatha Yoga in a small room, situated in a solitary place, being 4 cubits square, and free from stones, fire, water, disturbances of all kinds... The room should have a small door, be free from holes, hollows, neither too high nor too low, well plastered with cow-dung and free from dirt, filth and insects. On its outside there should be bowers, raised platform, a well, and a compound..."

All I need, when being directed by a good yoga teacher, is a quiet, clean and comfortable space in which to practice. If, however, I'm doing my own self-practice I'd welcome an added element which doesn't distract, but inspires - for example a studio with an attractive ceiling to look at when gazing skyward, or a soundtrack of calming recordings from nature.

I found this picture on the internet. I love what the view brings to the room - it's beautiful!
