On May 20th, nearly 1000 people attended a guided sound meditation at Grace Cathedral to benefit San Francisco Suicide Prevention, which answers more than 200 calls a day from those in need and have 6 core programs, which you can learn about here. As a professional event planner, I can confidently say it was the “hot ticket”...

The word Bhakti has several definitions. One that stands out the most to me is “union through love and devotion”. One would think that love and devotion are inherently present in each and every practice, but that is not the case. No two practices are ever the same; just like no two days are ever the same...

Warm sunny day in Golden Gate Park + 3000 yogis + 5k + Yoga + Meditation = inspiring and amazing day! Lindley Meadow was full of folks all ready to get their exercise on. I hadn’t seen that many people in the meadow since Hardly Strictly Bluegrass...

The word yoga and nightclub in the same sentence reminds me of my roaring twenties. I’d party all night and then repent in the morning with a hot yoga class. I thought a hot yoga class would simultaneously sweat out my hangover and purify my soul. It helped a little with the hangovers; I’m still actively working on the soul part.

Driving down Marinship Way to Harmonia in Sausalito, I feel like I’ve stumbled upon a hidden gem. I enter the sunny garden and pass a redwood sauna originally constructed for Sly Stone...

I woke up at 5:14 am, one minute prior to my alarm going off. I immediately grabbed my phone and started what felt like a digital binge; I went on almost every social media site and read the news while I ate breakfast.

This interview is an especially exciting one for SF Yoga Mag. Not only did Goldie Graham do her teacher training with our very own beloved founder, Deidre Norman, but she did it in SF! Now she returns to the Bay as an esteemed Wanderlust teacher for Wanderlust 108. She has been named among the Top 100 Yoga Teachers...

Some people go to church, while others go to yoga. Why not go to yoga at church? Yes, you’re hearing that right. Every Tuesday night Grace Cathedral hosts ‘Yoga on the Labyrinth’ in the entire church...

I'd never been to Monarch Nightclub, let alone practiced yoga in a bar, which seemed like good enough reason go. Yoga in a nightclub sounded strange at first (would the floors be sticky with old smells of booze?) yet intriguing all the same. I was there because of VinyasaSF, a company started in 2015 by Jessica Kenny and Tara Mohtadi that throws pop-up power-yoga events...

The Centre SF has been around for some time. However, it’s been newly revamped as a drop-in or membership-based teahouse, event space, movement and all-things-yoga studio. They have kung fu, capoeira, reiki sessions, singles nights, how-to-manage-money workshops, dance, sound healing, yoga, and the list goes on....

As the weather warms up, more wineries are planning a variety of events in hopes to entice new customers into the tasting room, and lately I’ve been seeing more wine and yoga events begin to pop up. I’ve heard of three wine + yoga events coming up this month in Sonoma County that are worth checking out...

To get to Cody Strauss’s class on Saturday morning, I crossed a precarious makeshift bridge of sticks across a steady flowing stream. Of course, I could’ve come by way of the front entrance, past the Mill Valley Public Library, but that just wouldn’t be like me. Up on the Amphiteatre stage, we laid mats out on the wooden platform to the sound of crows calling...

Marin moms, are you listening?! Beloved Marin yoga teacher, Christopher Love, has teamed up with the Church of St. John’s in Ross to offer pay-what-you-can Vinyasa Yoga classes Monday nights at 6.15pm with FREE CHILDCARE! To boot, the classes feature live music, with yoga on their ornately painted labyrinth lit by candlelight. The experience is quite special. We paid them a visit last week to experience it for ourselves...

When Autumn Feldmeier opened the night, she was brimming with excitement, ‘I’ve been teaching class to DEEPSØNØS for awhile now, and, well, sometimes you aim high and things work out…’

People around the world are onto something. From Berlin to London, Tokyo to New York and right here in San Francisco, groups of morning gloriers are starting their day with some yoga and a good ol’ fashioned themed dance party, because….why not?
