I’m so excited this morning, because HeavyWeight Yoga is stretching out to embrace new students. This morning the TV news shows in Houston (Great Day Houston) as well as in Austin (Good Day Austin) featured segments to show off HeavyWeight Yoga and my newest DVD. On KHOU in Houston, we even introduced two local HeavyWeight Yoga teachers.
In Houston people saw me practicing with fitness reporter Courtney Perna at the classic Heights Branch library as part of her Channel 4 broadcasts Think Outside The Gym. On that show I was joined by two Houston-area HeavyWeight Yoga instructors, Lea Ann Deel (heavyweightyogahouston.com) as well as Rowan Twosisters, who’s integrated my HeavyWeight Yoga with her Hottie Hoop Camp.
But if you’re not able to make that 3-Sunday series that Lea Ann offers in the Houston area, you can also sign up for my next HeavyYoga Women’s Retreat, May 22-24. If you can’t make my retreat event (so very special, and close to Houston — plus you get $100 off registering early) you can practice with me using my newest DVD.
Being in a class or a retreat space is a wonderful way to begin. Whenever you want to practice, I’m there for you, on any of my three DVDs. Lea’s Houston classes start this Sunday, Feb. 22, at Niamoves. Register with her at the studio’s website.
In Austin, the local Fox TV affiliate Channel 7 just ran three reports on HeavyWeight Yoga here on President’s Day. It was great to wake up to yoga on my screen. But that’s something everybody can do with my DVDs, too.
I want to connect to you any way that I can, either on the screen, in a retreat, or with a HeavyWeight Yoga teacher in the room with you. My Austin classes meet on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursday and Saturdays. After my Wednesday evening classes here in Austin, I’m out on a trip to see my niece Megan get married over this coming weekend — but I’ll be back next week starting Wednesday (Feb. 25) for a full slate of my local classes. I hope I’ll see you on the mat with me!
Heavyweight Yoga got its due thanks to their work. Being on Newsfix was an example of how yoga’s gotten into the mainstream conversation by now. People want to get the word out. It feels like interest is higher than ever. When I look back over the 42 years that I’ve practiced and taught yoga, it’s gone from something for hippies and cult activity, to a genuine lifestyle choice.
