We know yoga isn’t the only way you connect with yourself. You also feel that same sense of belonging when you’re outdoors, whether you’re hiking, running, camping, cycling, or climbing. So imagine that as you’re considering that bucket-list yoga retreat, thinking about doing your first marathon, planning an epic group hike, or figuring out what gear you need for your next camping trip, you have a resource where you can scroll and click and read and learn and be inspired. After reading about the experiences of others, you ask for advice, and soon the replies pour in from yoga teachers or marathon trainers or ultralight backpackers you’ve never met who offer tips and point you to other articles detailing exactly the information you’re seeking. Before long, you’ve made up your mind—you’re doing it. Thanks to reading everyone else’s stories, you’re ready to experience your own.
Later, you post photos of your experience on the Activity Feed with you looking happier than you ever have. Friends as well as people you’ve never met high-five you, comment, and share your experience with their followers. And just like that, the cycle begins again— reading, dreaming, sharing, inspiring. The world feels a little smaller as your story blends with others, creating an ever-expanding network of adventures.
This is the magic of the new Activity Feed launched by Yoga Journal’s parent company, Outside—every adventure begins with a story and grows through a community. Our new integrated social platform offers personalized content, community engagement, and seamless activity tracking—all in one place.
Here’s how the Activity Feed works, how to join, and why you’ll love it.
What is the Activity Feed?
The Activity Feed is a new community-based platform that connects you to others through curated outdoor content and shared activities. It integrates content from more than 25 platforms in the Outside Network—including Yoga Journal, Triathlete, RUN, Backpacker, SKI, Climbing, Velo, and more—and syncs activity data from hundreds of devices, apps, and events. Unlike other platforms, it provides a unique space designed specifically for outdoor enthusiasts to engage, learn, and celebrate their shared love for adventure. It’s inclusive, not competitive, and everyone is invited.
