Yoga @ Your Desk

How many hours a day do you spend at a desk typing, writing or behind the wheel of a car? Over time, the pull of gravity and alignment of this posture causes the shoulders to hunch over and stores tension in the upper back. Taking a minute or two to do this simple exercise can do wonders to ease tension in the shoulders and neck as well as restore energy and improve your focus throughout the day.

Fox 7 News has been running a focus on health. On April 28, they focused on yoga, as a way of dealing with pain. The segment focused on Yoga Yoga and our Back Care program. Click here to learn more about our Back Care Program.

Imagine coming back from a vacation ...
stronger, healthier, having lost weight,
bonded with new friends and relaxed on the beach!

By popular demand, Yoga Yoga is returning to the pristine Pacific beaches of Mexico for an incredible yoga vacation with teachers Matt Borer and Sapphire Bell. Running from June 8th to the 14th, it's the perfect time to escape the Austin heat and head to the beach at the Haramara Retreat Center, just 40 miles north of Puerto Vallarta.

More than just a vacation, this once in a lifetime opportunity offers daily yoga classes, three beautifully prepared organic gourmet meals a day and a host of exhilarating and relaxing ways to spend your free time. The diverse terrain and secluded location create an oasis of natural beauty and the beaches that surround Haramara are pristine. Outside Magazine recently selected the Sayulita beach as one of the top Mexican beaches and visitors have called Haramara "a sanctuary for the soul."

All cabanas include spacious rooms with private bathrooms, and enjoy breathtaking ocean and mountain views. The yoga practice space provides an incredible open view of mountains, jungle and ocean. Treat yourself to the memories of a lifetime and immerse yourself in a daily yoga practice that will refresh your mind, body and spirit.

Deadlines at work, the demands of parenting, bumper-to-bumper traffic - stress often comes from many directions at once and can produce physical, mental, as well as emotional symptoms. Studies indicate that 3 out of 5 visits to the doctor today are stress related.

Restorative Yoga classes are especially designed to alleviate stress. The postures are usually deeply supported by blankets, blocks, or other props and are held for several minutes at a time. They focus on relaxation and calming the central nervous system and have a particular ability to leave us nourished and well rested. Perfect for beginners and veterans alike, restorative classes are ideal for those going through stressful times, suffering from illness, injury or major life changes.

Yoga Yoga offers several restorative classes every week at all of our four studios. We encourage you to try a restorative class and discover the wealth of benefits from this nurturing practice.
