Looking for a unique and helpful gift?  Shopping for a yogi?  Here are some of our favorite things from Love Yoga as well as from some of our favorite places! Scroll through for lots of Yoga ideas and the links to help you get there quick!

1.  T-shirts are always a useful gift.  Who doesn’t love a soft comfy tee with a great message.  It’s wearable.  It’s a conversation starter.  It’s a connection.  85% of people surveyed have a t-shirt with sentimental value that they’ve had for over 8 years.  That’s a long shelf life for a great gift!  They also make a great travel item:  www.loveyogatees.com !
(Love Yoga Hoodie available as a pre-order.  Contact us at loveyoga@comcast.net)

2.  Socks and legwarmers!  It’s that time of year . . . anything warm and cozy makes a nice gift.  Check out our selection of locally handmade oversized socks, slippers and leg warmers!  $12 each.  (in studio only while supplies last)

3.  Love Yoga Passes! One at time, monthly packages, a trial pass or a GIFT Certificate!

4.  Yoga Mats are a great way to motivate!  We like the Mandukas for their durability and the Aurorae’s Northern Lights Mat has a great look and feel on sale now for $40!

Yoga blocks/bolsters/bags/cleaners through YogaAccessories.com

Holiday Yoga and treats at 10am!

Enjoy a refreshing start to the Holidays!

Holidays bring a definite whirl of activity with them…so finding time to recharge can be complicated.  We’d like to help make it easy for you to drop in anytime and escape, explore, relax, work out, connect…. whatever it is you happen to need on any particular day.  The simplest way to do that is with the monthly Love Yoga pass.  Drop in anytime, any class, any instructor.
Here are a few passes to choose from:

1.  $40.  The Trial Pass.  If you’re fairly new to the whole yoga pass thing, the trial pass gives you 30 days of unlimited yoga for all of our classes!
Holiday Bonus:  Buy one for you, Get one FREE for a friend!  (December only)

2.  If you’ve been coming to Love Yoga and are ready to transform your life with a renewed commitment to take care of yourself, the monthly unlimited pass (regularly $80/mo) is on special for $70/mo.  or $65/mo with a 6 month auto withdrawal!

3.  Additional Holiday Bonus! If you make it to each instructor in the month of December, we’ll add another free class to your pass! 

If for any reason, none of these passes work for you… please let us know so we can help…and consider our Tuesday and Friday night 5$ classes!  Always a great turnout and a wonderful practice for beginners and experienced yogis alike!

Remember to save the date for our Winter Solstice (Dec. 20th) and the Winter Wellness Walk (Jan. 4th).  HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Do you find yourself hustling around the holidays?  Quiet reflection and relaxation are probably not always at the top of your list…but regular rejuvenation is EXACTLY what you need!  Try out any of our classes this season for a quick escape…..OR…make the decision to consistently commit to creating calm, confidence and clarity in your life.  Yes, even during the holidays.  It’s possible!
