The studio will be very busy for the next few weeks so we'd like to encourage you to begin signing up for classes online through the Mind/Body link at www.bikramyogagrapevine.com. We can hold a maximum of 60 students in the yoga room but if you pre-register through our website, you'll have a guaranteed spot.  Because we are so busy, when the list for each class at the studio reaches 45, we'll be holding the remaining 15 spots for students with annual and monthly auto pay packages.  Likewise, if you pre-register online but show up less than five minutes before class, your space will be given to a walk-in student. 

 

We are super excited that the studio is so busy and that more and more people are including the fantastic benefits of bikram yoga in their lives but our yoga room is only so big.  Please pre-register ahead and make sure you have a spot.  We look forward to seeing you!

 

 

 

The annual Texas regional competition will kick off on September 26 at 10 a.m. in San Antonio (please see location and specifics in the left hand column) to see which students will qualify for the national competition in March, 2011, in Los Angeles.  This Texas competition is one of many regional competitions held throughout the state with the intention of finding students who can eventually perform in the USA Yoga Federation Championship...the ultimate honor! 

 

Yoga competitions are a long standing tradition in India that span thousands of years and happen almost daily. Points are awarded for mastery of the pose but also for grace, poise, charisma and confidence.  The USA Yoga Federation is working to make yoga an olympic sport since it requires no props and almost any country (regardless of its affluence or lack) can participate.  Each participant will execute the same sequence of five postures and two optional postures in three minutes with 80 maximum points.  The judges want to find the two winners who will best represent yoga to the world.  Last year, Dallas' own Joseph Encinia won first place in the men's division!  Don't miss out on this inspirational showing of yoga mastery!

 

  

Labor Day might traditionally mean a day of grilling, sunning, drinking and chillin' but to the yoga community, it also means a FREE day of yoga! Studios throughout the metroplex (www.dfwfreedayofyoga.com) will offer free classes for beginners or experienced yogis who just want to try a different location and give away/promotional events the Saturday before Labor Day, too.  Our own Grapevine studio on Labor Day only will have an altered schedule with classes at 5:30, 8:30, 10:30 (15 extra minutes in between the 8:30 and usual 10:15 class) and 4:30.  Check out the website above to see which events you'd like to attend on the Saturday before (September 3rd) and remember to pre-register for our classes online to make sure you have a spot.  We are traditionally VERY crowded on Labor Day so don't be left out! Bring your friends, family and loved ones who have given you excuses not to try bikram yoga up until NOW!
