Welcome to Smiling Dog Yoga

It's easy to see that Yoga is becoming increasingly popular and more widely practiced. You are here at this site because you do practice yoga already or perhaps are interested in beginning. Isn't it curious that this very old, somewhat mystical system of knowledge is finding new importance today and here in the western world, so culturally different from the soil of the east where it sprung?

We live in difficult times, times of crisis, times of intense distractions, times of stress, and it seems that Yoga is finding such relevance in our times because it offers teachings that help to ground us in our physical and psychological reality and techniques that catalyze growth and evolution. In yoga, we find brilliant and yet simple practices to revitalize our ever-changing body, to purify our nervous system, to rest our mind and to enjoy greater energy and better health. Whomever practices yoga will be enlivened in his or her own way: this is what we stand by at Smiling Dog. Practicing Yoga appropriately and respectfully can help all of us live more conscious lives and transform our world today. More than just a yoga studio, although yoga is the proverbial backbone of our business, Smiling Dog is also a vegetarian lunch cafe, massage therapy and acupuncture center, as well as a unique eco-conscious boutique. We hope that you will take some time to navigate our website to learn more about all that we have offer, but more importantly, we hope you'll drop-in and experience the whole community of Smiling Dog in person. See you soon . . .
