Most of my practice is done indoors but when you get the opportunity to practice in some lovely natural surroundings you should do so. The sounds of the flowing water and nature make you feel like you're merging with the natural surroundings/or Dao. No words or conscious left-brain/analytical thoughts need to demand your attention whilst your body slowly performs the circular movements of Taiji. Or even being still in standing postures is also equally meditative and intoxicating. Also if you're sensitive enough the circulation/flow of energy/chi around you feels completely different to that of being indoors. Perhaps quiet solitude indoors is better for listening to your body but in a good natural spot - under or near trees - it is like being part of a subtle and lively party with all it's noises, good vibes, and distractions whilst bathing in a gentle and nourishing flow of "energy".
