Tara Glazier, the brilliant anatomy and philosophy teacher I am lucky enough to study regularly with, is leading a retreat to Costa Rica next month. There are some budget spots left — only $900 to share a beach cabana — as well as some larger, gorgeous rooms with pools and things.

We just received word that Wanderlust, the yoga + music festival run by Schuyler Grant and the Kula crew, is branching into a THIRD location this year. The Standard Hotel, which is quite the patron of cool yoga and design events, will be hosting Wanderlust Miami.

Brooklyn Outfitters, based in Williamsburg, is leading some cool outdoor adventures throughout the winter. This weekend there’s a 7.5 mile hike up Mt. Wittenberg, “the highest vertical ascent from base to summit” around.

Immerse yourself in the gorgeous and powerful language of yoga — sign up for the American Sanskrit Institute’s week-long introduction. Imagine confident pronunciation, the ability to read devanagari script, and word by word understanding of beloved chants!

I was super bummed to miss Wanderlust last year — Schuyler Grant’s yoga-plus-music festival was a genius idea. And the lineup was rock solid on both fronts: teachers included Shiva Rea, Seane Corn, and Doug Swenson, while musicians included Moby, Brazilian Girls, and Pretty Lights. So nice to see a yoga event that’s not just [...]

Twice in my life have I wandered into a yoga class where I felt completely fascinated, connected, and at home. The first was with Jhon Tamayo at Atmananda, where I ended up doing my teacher training. The second was this past weekend with Jill Miller at Omega. I’d heard about Jill from Brooke Siler, who [...]

Who needs a getaway? We just received a really kind offer from the folks at The Garden (a restored 18th century villa in the Hudson Valley). The first Yogoer reader to register for their yoga / meditation / nutrition retreat next weekend gets a free spot! I’m holding myself back. It’s all yours… Thawing Into [...]

Finally back in action after 10 days away. The travel alone (cab to the plane to the plane to the van to the bus to the lake, and back) was enough to leave me loopy for two days each time. But it was so incredibly worth the effort; Guatemala is a special place. I spent [...]

I went hiking this weekend, in the hills across the Hudson from Beacon, with three yoga friends. We started late and stayed late but managed to make it back to the car three hours after sunset. Aka in the dark. In the last hour or two, when we were really struggling to see the trail [...]
