The thing about yoga is that once you get the good vibes rolling out to the universe, it just doesn’t stop.  It’s not that often that a really cool festival like the Wanderlust, decides to make a stop in Vegas and take it poolside at one of the hippest resorts on the Strip, The Cosmopolitan.

Not only do I have the cool Yoga Sanctuary Give Away going on this week, but I was just blessed by the folks at the Wanderlust Festival to offer up tics to locals with a $40 discount to attend the entire event!  Totally amazing.  This makes the ticket price $108, and includes the following:

  • 2 poolside yoga classes with renouned yoga instructor, John Friend
  • Kula Flow class with co-creator of the Wanderlust Festival, Schulyer Grant
  • VIP pre-concert party at the Boulevard Pool
  • Poolside concert with Thievery Corporation
  • Complimentary Beauty Bar with organic/natural product demonstrations by Phyto Haircare and Lierac Skincare
  • Goody bag from Gaiam including a free yoga mat
If you are not local and looking for a great package deal to attend the event, check out these rates and packages being offered by The Cosmopolitan.  If you are local and just want to make it a mini-vaca/yoga retreat…then take advantage of these rates, too!

Come see and join in on this unprecedented celebration of yoga and music in Las Vegas.

Buy your tickets today!  Enter Code: VEGASYOGA at checkout for the $40 off the full ticket price.

*There is a Music Only ticket available as well, however the promo code is only for the full ticket.
Oh! And if you plan on attending the entire Wanderlust Festival, John Friend is requesting you wear white and your mala beads the night of the concert to show yogi unity.
Namaste Vegas.

It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for!  Or at least, that I’ve been waiting for….my FaceBook page has finally hit 100 fans!  That is so sweet!  And, I am so appreciative of my readers, that I have teamed up with Yoga Sanctuary to treat a totally fabulous reader to a totally fabulous prize package of 5 classes to either location.

Why do I Like Yoga Sanctuary?

I have been practicing yoga for over 15 years, starting back when I was living in San Diego.  In California, up and down the coast, you are treated to an array of classes, instructors and studios that truly create an amazing experience.  They did for me, anyway.  When I moved back to Las Vegas, it was really hard for me to re-create that experience again.  Most of the yoga classes at that time, could only be found in a gym, and I was far from impressed.  A friend introduced me to Sherry Goldstein and at the time, her classes were being held in an office building location off of Patrick and Sunset.  It didn’t matter the environment.  It was serene, warm, inviting, and I knew I had found my favorite studio in Las Vegas.  Fast forward several years and Sherry Goldstein’s Yoga Sanctuary studios on both the East and West side attract great local instructors, a wide variety of classes and even well known instructors from all over the US.  If you haven’t taken a yoga class at Yoga Sanctuary, you are missing out on a wonderful experience.

Have or haven’t…either way here is your chance to win!

Vegas Tours: Cool Fitness Events in July

Places to rock in Vegas with or without your little entourage. (c)

Paddle to the Core-SUP Lake Las Vegas

Yes!  You can Stand Up Paddle Board in Las Vegas!  Better yet, you can do it in one of the most beautiful locations in the Valley…Lake Las Vegas.  Located outside the Loews Hotel.  Join them for a 4th of July celebration on the Lake SUP Style!

Yoga Sanctuary: West Side

Two cool events happening at, in my opinion, one of the best yoga studios in Las Vegas.  If you are staying on the Strip and looking for an amazing yoga workshop or class lead by some pretty impressive and world-renown instructors (even the local instructors are pretty impressive!), then I highly recommend taking a cab ride out to Yoga Sanctuary West (located in the Summerlin area).  It’s also a great place to bring your older kiddos for some parent/teen bonding time, and to find your inner peace and focus away from the craziness of the hotels and casinos.  Yoga Sanctuary, both East and West, are by far the locals’ favorite when it comes to yoga in the Valley.

lululemon athletica at the Fashion Show Mall

Don’t want to leave the Strip, but need to get some fitness into your vaca or biz trip?  Take a jaunt down to the Fashion Show Mall (you can even run there to give you that extra cardio boost!) on Sundays from 9:30-10:30, and experience a fitness class the best the Valley has to offer.  The best part?  It’s FREE!  Totally free, or, er, um, complimentary.  While you’re planning your Vegas escape, be sure to check out their monthly events calendar for class listings.

*Want to explore more of Vegas?  Their Summerlin Showroom also offers unique classes throughout the week.  Times and classes vary, so make sure to check their calendar of events, or shout at them on FaceBook!

Barefoot Sanctuary

Snuggled inside the Whole Foods Market at Town Square, just south of the Strip, there is an intimate space right above the shoppers heads where crazy things like handstand and acro-fit classes are going on, groovy vibes, cool music, yoga, meditations, belly dancing, tribal dancing…it’s hard to imagine a fitness studio inside Whole Foods…or is it?  And, the studio owners, Jaime and Alvin Tam, are amazingly beautiful people with vibrant souls and energy.  Definitely a must-see, must attend studio before you head back home.  (Even if home is Summerlin or Henderson!)

Blue Sky Yoga

You can’t miss this studio when visiting Las Vegas.  Located inside the Arts Factory in Downtown Las Vegas (yes, the real Downtown, the Strip is actually not Downtown), Cheryl Slader’s Blue Sky Yoga is a donation based yoga studio offering some of the most amazing classes and workshops in Las Vegas.  What makes this place a must-see is the funky and cool atmosphere that surrounds it.  Depending on the month and the artist, the studio itself is an actual art gallery displaying local artists’ work.  It is a small, intimate space, so make sure you arrive early to park your mat.  If you are looking for something different to take the fam to, check out First Fridays which is a local artist, musician, vendor, culinary hot spot with lots of stimulation and visual aesthetics.  Click here for Blue Sky Yoga July Events.
