What a great rumor to start, eh? I think this would be a good idea for our friends at the TSA. Heck–I go to yoga before heading to the airport and I have a better flight.

Over at Laughing Lotus Yoga Studio in Anchorage, owner Svia Rothstein is offering a $2 discount to ANY TSA employee who stops in for a practice. Below, here’s a photo of Svia and I after a yoga class. In addition to the classes themselves, Svia and co-owner Kim have a great selection of yoga clothing and accessories.

I like the Bikram Yoga, taught by Rick Resnick. That’s where they turn the heat up–and you really work up a sweat. Anchorage resident Pam B. wins a free pass to Laughing Lotus because she entered the contest last week! Enjoy your freebie, Pam.

And take a moment the next time you’re at the airport to let your friendly TSA staffer know that they can get a $2 discount over at Laughing Lotus!

Coming up: Yoga Therapy for Women, a five-week Progressive Workshop with Tanya Gonnason Sundays, May 10th – June 7th, 6 – 7:30 PM. Cost: $115
This dynamic, fun and energizing practice incorporates asana (postures), pranayama (breathing), Tibethan techniques for moving energy, mudra (symbolic hand gestures), bandha (internal locks) and guided relaxation.

Check the website for more details.

Tell the truth. I know you get tied up in knots when you’re flying. Who doesn’t? Take advantage of Laughing Lotus in Anchorage. Owners Kim and Svia have a host of yoga classes available for everyone: Moms-to-be, Moms-with-kids, beginners like me and advanced-level workshops.

Lately, my favorite is the Bikram Yoga. That’s the HOT yoga that was featured a couple of months ago in the Anchorage Daily News. Actually, I thought the story, written by Julia O’Malley, was pretty good. I also liked the slide show by Erik Hill. Check it out.

I have a FREE PASS to a yoga class. To win, just drop me an email  (zoom@gci.net)with the name of the instructor featured in the Anchorage Daily News story. From the correct entries, I’ll pick a winner.

Actually, don’t wait to see if you win. Head on over to Laughing Lotus in Anchorage before you travel. Or after. Or both. They have a number of options, including one-time drop in rates, a punch card or “unlimited classes” for a month.

Namaste!

Just got done skiing the Tour of Anchorage. Whoo-boy. First, a big shout-out to my friends at Laughing Lotus Yoga Studio here in Anchorage. Here’s a photo of me with Star, one of the lunchtime instructors.

Without the stretches and bends in class–I would be in a  WHEELCHAIR after my 25K ski (more…)

Yoga. It’s the answer. Now don’t freak out–it’s really a great discipline. The folks at Laughing Lotus here in Anchorage have a variety of classes. Did you see the write-up in the Anchorage Daily News the other day (on the front page?)? Oh–and here’s the slideshow that Erik Hill produced for the Anchorage Daily News. Great stuff.

Credit to my friends Janine A. and Melanie R. here in ANC. Both of them encouraged me to visit Laughing Lotus. Co-owners Svia and Kim offer a variety of plans for students, regulars and drop-ins. In addition to a full slate of classes, Laughing Lotus also offers mats, towels and accessories for sale right there in the studio. Stop in today–tell them Scott sent you!

Click here to become a fan of Laughing Lotus. Below, here I am at a lunchtime practice dubbed “Hot Lunch with Star”. I’m not the star (HA!). That’s the instructor’s name (on the right–dunh).

Gayle and Heather (both from right here in Anchorage) are the lucky winners of free passes at Laughing Lotus Yoga Studio!

My New Year’s Resolution is to maintain a good Yoga practice schedule–and Laughing Lotus is just the place. It’s located near 57th and Old Seward Highway in Anchorage. 

If you’re tied up in knots after a long plane ride, head to Laughing Lotus here in Anchorage!
