Live With No Excuses, Love With No Regrets.

video: The Patience of a Yogi Daddy

We are big proponents of family yoga. When parents practice yoga with their kids it unites the family, builds communication skills and strengthens bonds. But let's face it. There are times when a parent desperately needs an hour of yoga for herself or himself with no kids around. Case in point: the father in the video below. (If patience is a virtue, then this man has got to be the most virtuous man on earth!)

But despite the kids, we want to believe this father is relishing every moment on the mat. To him and to all the loving dads out there, have a very Happy Father's Day. You deserve it!

Video: Likely Scene at Yoga with Rover

One of our very favorite events is our annual Yoga with Rover. If you love yoga and love dogs, well, it doesn't get better than this class. For one, fun weekend afternoon, our studio is filled with yogis and canines practicing (sorta) doggie yoga to raise funds for a local animal charity. Kristen Corral, a pet massage therapist and yoga teacher, will lead the class this year and share soothing yoga stretches and massage techniques tailored to dogs. There's lots of love and always a puppy or two determined to practice Yoga with Rover THEIR way. Hey, some dogs are just passionate about their yogis -- like the dog in the video below. :)

Dave Romanelli: Three Tips to Happiness

In his bestseller Yeah Dave's Guide to Livin' the Moment, yoga legend David Romanelli uses funny, honest, personal tales to guide us to life's true happy place that lies within us. Dave also deals with the subject of happiness in a wonderful online article titled Happiness: 3 amazing tips from the world's oldest case study. Leave it to Dave to stumble upon a 72 year old study whose findings still hold true for today. Among other things we learn that the "happiest subjects in the study were those who sustained meaningful, healthy relationships with friends and family. One can never give enough hugs, say enough 'I love you's,' and send enough 'I miss you's."

Dave leads his famous Yoga + Wine and Yoga + Chocolate workshops at our studio in Las Vegas on May 19. We can't wait to indulge! :)  Click here for flyer.

Your Yoga Mat Is Calling.

Everyone on the planet has a cell phone, so why not your yoga mat?  :) :)

Yoga for Wine Lovers.

For Every Yogi That Loves Coffee.

video: Dave's Livin' The Moment Tour

Yoga teacher David Romanelli's philosophy on life is pretty straight forward: everything is sweeter in the moment. He's done a phenomenal job reminding people to live in the present through his bestseller Yeah Dave's Guide to Livin' the Moment, his popular yoga, wine and chocolate events, his blog and other ventures. David's videos are also captivating and deliver his message brilliantly. Check out his video below. We're beyond excited that David will lead two special yoga events at our Las Vegas studio on May 19. For info, click here

Yoga, You Had Me At Savasana.

video: Why We Love Yoga Hikes at Red Rock Canyon

Red Rock Canyon is a mere 30 minutes from the frenetic activity on the Strip, but hiking among the rocks and canyons you’d think you were 100 miles away from a casino. The silent grandeur of the mountain peaks, the pure desert air, and the amazing natural wonders take our breath away -- especially when we're out at Red Rock practicing yoga. There is a powerful energy at the Canyon and you can feel it when you watch the video below. The music, the vistas, the rock climbing scenes are magical.

All that serenity and beauty make Red Rock the perfect setting for our Yoga Hikes. If you’d like to attend our next Yoga Hike on Sunday, April 21, drop by either of our studios to sign up, or call us at 702-240-7666 or 702-407-0043. Attendance is limited to 15 people and advance reservations are required. Click here for flyer and more details.

Happy Yogi Steve Ross Gets Serious

Steve Ross is a very popular guy. After wedging yourself alongside 70-plus students at his Maha Yoga studio in Los Angeles, a glance around the classroom gives the first impression of a social hour, rather than a yoga class. Everybody is excited because they're about to spend time with Steve Ross, one of the happiest and most upbeat yoga teachers. But Steve does have a serious side and it's revealed in his bestseller HAPPY YOGA and in a great article in LA Yoga Magazine. In the article, Steve talks about his yogic approach, spiritualism and what he considers the secret to true happiness:

"Accept fully whatever life brings you, knowing that it’s perfect. And whatever it doesn’t bring, you accept that also. Happiness is a function of acceptance."

Steve's wisdom, music and humor always makes us happy. So we could not be happier that he'll lead two yoga workshops and a kirtan at Yoga Sanctuary the weekend of April 13 and 14. Click here for details.

Never Give Up.

Take Your Medicine.

Noah Maze video: "Keeping Good Company"

When it comes to yoga teachers, Noah Mazé is a life changer. Physically, he has a flair for offering the most insightful cues to allow yogis to float in and out of the most challenging asanas. But he's also incredibly transforming on an emotional level. Case in point, the message in his video below. He talks about the importance of "keeping good company" on and off the mat to bring out the best in us. So touching and beautifully presented. We are enormously honored that Noah will lead a weekend of yoga workshops at our West Las Vegas Yoga Sanctuary studio from March 22 to 24. For info, click here.

Drop and Give Me Zen.

How fabulous is this! :)
