How excited are you for Step Up 3D? I’m seeing it tonight. After happy hour where I plan on trying some new Thirsty Planet beer. Yep, Austin has a new brewery–Thirsty Planet–that has three beers: a super-hoppy Buckethead IPA (I won’t be trying that), a 50/50 barley/red wheat Yellow Armadillo, and a malty Thirsty Goat…

Salutation Nation
Everyone knows lulu is de rigeur for CrossFitters. But the company actually started for yogis, so it’s MORE apropos that they host Salutation Nation, this Saturday from 9-10am. Like the Nike Human Race with less competing and matching tees, thousands of people across North America will take their asana practice outside for a complimentary class…
Aspen: Yoga Rocks the Mountains July 16-18
There’s yoga, music, camping, dancing, delicious food … what isn’t to love about Yoga Rocks the Mountains, this weekend in Snowmass? Yoga Workshop Schedule (full schedule here) … I’m just listing the classes with Aaron, my instructor at King Yoga, who I LOVE and who trains Lance Armstrong, so even if I didn’t ALREADY think…
All-Around Fitness
Achieving milestones! I preach all the time about how much I love King Yoga, but something truly magical happened there yesterday (besides the fact that I later learned I was yoga-ing in the same room as Gretchen Bleiler had earlier … I wear her Oakley pants to ski!) … in my years of doing Bikram…
Nature’s Garage Gym Playground
I’ve been Yoga-ing the past two days (at King Yoga and then with Dana from 02, which is currently closed), and really enjoyed it. It’s killer on your shoulders, and my right shoulder is in just enough pain that it MIGHT mean that the rotator cuff isn’t fully healed 🙁 I’ve discovered another fun workout…
Aspen: King Yoga is Awesome
I’ve tried a lot of yogas–a Bikram devotee in Austin, I’ve dabbled in others as well. Here in Aspen, I’m just starting to try out yoga places, and first on my list was King Yoga in ABC, the Aspen Airport Business Center. It’s got an outdated website (fix coming soon), a goofy logo, and an…
Minute by Minute
Relentless Boot Camp yesterday, ZT’s last, was a killer! We did the usual warmup, then instead of hearing a workout we went straight into a minute of whatever exercise ZT called out: jumping squats, plank, lunges, plank, situps, plank, 2 laps, sprawls, plank, squats, leg hold, lunges, pushups, leg hold, crunches, 3 stairs, 2 laps,…
1/2 yoga and a day off
This ties in with the post I did a few days ago about rest and smart training. For instance, when you go to your physical therapist and he presses on some ligaments that makes your arm burn all the way from elbow to shoulder, you maybe shouldn’t go to Bikram yoga immediately after and think…
Work it Out Weekend
I’ll be doing the CrossFit Women’s Challenge (and winning it) Saturday morning, and may recover by hitting Empower Yoga for some free yoga to stretch out my soreness. Come Sunday, I can dance away the day for free! Of course, there are tons of awesome shows this weekend too, but I’ll let Austin Eavesdropper tell…
Labor Day: Free Day of Yoga
It’s back! Most of Austin’s yoga studios are offering FREE classes Monday. All over town, all types of yogas. Here for details. The schedule is MASSIVE, and they’ve divided it up into Morning / Afternoon / Evening classes, as well as have separate listings for Austin-vicinity places. My suggestion? Bikram at BYD: http://www.bydaustin.com. I made…
