Your teens are holding a car wash at the high school Saturday. The grandparents volunteered to take the younger children to a movie Sunday afternoon. Your tweens take tap on Wednesday evening. It’s your time. Take it.
Each week, we tell you about one great idea to give you a much deserved break and make your life a little easier, maybe a whole lot easier.
Never tried a yoga class? Maybe it is time you did. Yoga is many things to many people: a chance for “me” time, to meditate and reflect, a stress-reliever and also a form of exercise that builds stamina and flexibility with low impact.

In West County, check out Tierra Yoga in Hercules, a new yoga studio near the waterfront.
All the yoga classes Tierra offers are Hatha-based. This practice focuses on physical postures (asanas), breathing, and meditation to build strength, increase flexibility, and link the body and mind.

According to Tierra, “The asanas of Hatha yoga help us to observe, explore, balance, and integrate the body and mind with the breath. Through the practice of the physical postures, health is restored and maintained, emotions are stabilized, and the mind becomes more peaceful.”
I don’t know about you, but just looking at a picture of that sweet studio chills me out.
Classes are only $14 for walk-in, and deep discounts are available for packages of three classes and more. If you are really getting your Hatha on, try private sessions at $65.
For information, call 510-724-2848 or go to tierrayoga.com.
