| - Having had the WORST December in my entire LIFE (cancer scare, cat put to sleep, staph infection. Ugh!) I really needed a good way to get rid of 2007. Yoga Pura provided the perfect opportunity to do so: a New Year's Eve meditation. It started at 9pm and went till the clock struck 12 and 2007 was finally OVER! Took my intern, Tondra, and had the best New Year's Eve ever!
Yoga Pura has a few different rooms for yoga, workshops and classes. I've done the Power Yoga several times along with workshops. Everyone is very welcoming there as soon as you walk in the door.
Upon entering, there's the obligartory scent of Nag Champa, and their retail store. They have the cutest yoga mat bags! There are also racks of yoga clothes and different objects to decorate your house with. A few years ago, I bought some really cool wall hangings from India. Prices are reasonable for a private boutique.
If you are going to take a class, they have a little cubby for your shoes before entering each studio. SO much better than most yoga studios that just have a doormat with a pile of everyone's shoes.
The New Year's meditation workshop was run by Jesus - I mean Yogi E. Tondra and I couldn't help but giggle a few times during class, even though we weren't supposed to utter a sound or ever open our eyes. OH! During one of the several different meditations that evening, some lady started rubbing some sort of lotion on my feet. Not sure what that was all about.
Yoga Pura also offers classes for getting certified as a yoga instructor.
If you ever need to relax, try a GREAT way to stay fit or just burn off some steam, go to Yoga Pura! They rock! (without making too much noise!)
