Fall Fitness Savings!

As we all begin the transition into the Fall and Winter seasons, we’re naturally led to think of more indoor activites. In celebration of keeping ourselves healthy, we have put all of our current fitness DVDs on sale! Our great selection includes various types of yoga, meditation, and toning for those areas that tend to reflect oursedentary winter lifestyle come spring.

Coming soon to our our department are more basic yoga supplies like bolsters, blankets and a yoga mat cleaning spray. Also, look for more DVDs that are very effective and crazy fun. Bonus!! No one can see you in the privacy of your own living room!! We are also bringing in DVDs on yoga during pregnancy and to support a healthy delivery.

On the snugglier side, we are bringing in lumbar wraps that can be heated or chilled and tie around the waist.

Wishing you well being this season and beyond ~

Are You Livin’ the Moment?

Because there are few things we love more than a really great read, we’re excited to introduce you to Yeah Dave’s Guide to Livin’ the Moment: Getting to Ecstasy through Wine, Chocolate and Your iPod Playlist, a brand new book by yoga instructor and all-around good guy, David Romanelli.

Far (so far!) from the preachy and self-congratulatory vibe we’ve come to expect from so many spiritual/self-help tomes, Yeah Dave’s Guide is rolling-on-the-floor funny while still managing to convey a message just about everyone could use: If you’re not “livin’ the moment,” you’ll miss out on the sweetest gifts life has to offer. Dave uses such unexpected themes as bad dance moves, flatulence as a self-defense tactic and a poodle named Schmutzie to simultaneously crack you up and teach you a whole bunch of valuable methods for being fully present in your life.

Whether you’re a dedicated yogini or someone who wouldn’t be caught dead in downward-facing dog pose, you’ll appreciate Dave’s down-to-earth perspective as a regular guy who happens to teach yoga and deals with the same insecurities and triumphs as the rest of us. Both hilarious and profound, Yeah Dave’s Guide is our five-star pick for summer reading.

Check out the video! Yeah Dave’s Guide to Livin’ the Moment:

Get Your Stretch On: New Yoga Goodies

We love yoga, and we also love cool-looking, fabulously functional gear to spice up our practice. That’s why we’re excited to announce our partnership with Wai Lana Yoga! Wai Lana offers everything from colorful mats to functional straps and blocks to sumptuous totes and bags, with enough variety to please just about any aesthetic.

Just who is Wai Lana? Well, it might be difficult to find anyone as influential as she in bringing yoga to the mainstream. Her internationally aired TV series continuously attracts a huge audience and plays a key role in yoga’s skyrocketing popularity. Famous for making the practice both easy and effective, Wai Lana excels at making yoga accessible for everyone. While our local PBS channel doesn’t currently air her program, the Co-op now carries Wai Lana’s entire line of yoga DVDs. Whether you need to loosen up or get

invigorated, or simply want to add some variety to your existing yoga routine, you’re sure to find a video to suit your needs.

Also, we’re excited to announce that Wai Lana is introducing a whole new line of completely eco-friendly products, including organic cotton straps and totes, bamboo blocks, and latex-free, recyclable mats. We’ll have these in plenty of time for the holidays.
