My “real job” has been busy – taking me to Las Vegas, then Washington, DC in back to back travel weeks for work. The good news? I found yoga.

Blue Sky Yoga in Las Vegas – This studio was about a $18-20 cab ride from Caesar’s Palace toward “downtown” (when we passed a lot of bail bond places on the way…I knew I was getting close to the low-rent (aka artist) district and finally off the Strip. Thank goodness.) Took a Jivamukti class in an art filled studio with Cheryl, the owner (she had pants on, the homepage had me a bit nervous…) Very cool thing they have going there at the Art Factory. Check into First Fridays if you visit – sounds intriguing. Great practice.

Flow Yoga, Washington DC – Flow is around the corner from Hotel Helix – what a coincidence! (Not really. I planned it this way.) Went and got the new student special 2 x $20, took another Jivamukti class – which was genuinely coincidental. I only have encountered it traveling. Good practice, nice place, pretty busy. They recommended Cafe Green. OMG heck yes more more more. And super nice and friendly people working, too.

Tranquil Space, Washington DC – About 4 or 5 blocks away from Hotel Helix (shout out for the free yoga mat with my stay – no kidding!!), I found another spot. Nice boutique ($$) out front, great practice, super power yoga, I got sweaty! (It wasn’t technically “hot”, but pretty warm, and well attended with spicy sequences.) Swung home past Cafe Green!

Night number 3, I went back to Flow for another Jivamukti class that was lots of fun – highly recommended. And then in honor of my dad, I ate African food at Lalibela.

I’m back at home now – going strong on Monday nights at the People’s Yoga Coop. More workshops and classes coming soon – requests always welcome.
