Say "Adiós" to Synergy Yoga on Española Way...

...and "¡Hola!" to their new location on Alton Road.

It is with a heavy heart and we type with a heavy hand while we come to terms with the news that Synergy Yoga on Española Way will be closing the doors in September. Womp. Womp.

They are being pushed out of their location due to sky rocking rent prices and it is with this that we are shaking our head with disappointment.

You have permission to commence the boycott of Española Way immediately, yogis. 

Something you may not know is that in a past life we worked on the second floor next to Synergy back. in. the. day. when the hostel was still across the street. Many afternoons spent being entertained by the tourists doing crazy things on the balconies.  *le sigh*

The good news is that they will be upgrading their space to a new 2nd floor location on 8th and Alton Road.

From Victoria,

"We invite everyone to share these times of Transformation with us and to say good bye to the center in Espanola way as we embrace our new location. I know we shared incredible moments there, but it is time to move forward and upgrade! Our new location is on 844 Alton Road, and we will be doing an opening in September 8th and a Grand Opening with a Super Celebration on October 1st, everyone is Invited! Our new center has its own Parking in the back, and a Garden for us to gather and mingle in the best Yogic way! Also besides the 2 Yoga rooms and our Healing room we will also have a beautiful bathroom with a Shower. On top of all these wonderful things, we will be serving you fresh Juices , ready after your class! It's a new era at Synergy Yoga with lots of improvements and the same loving and authentic teachers. Changes are not easy but they are always for the better, for sure. Join us at this new location!"

We will keep you posted on details of the new space as they roll out. It is your yogic duty to support them.

Peace, out! 

Doug Swenson at Synergy Yoga This Weekend

David & Doug Swenson circa 1970

Sorry, yogis. We need to keep this short, sweet and to the point - much like Mr. Swenson, himself.

Important information to follow:

Doug Swenson is having a workshop at Synergy Yoga South Beach this weekend. You should be there. He is a legend. We are a legend in our own mind...

It starts sometime this afternoon, but there is no way we are going to sober up enough to make it there, so you have to be there on our behalf.

Click here to RSVP via Facebook. We will try to roll in on Sunday afternoon. Is the workshop full? We'll never know.

Someone call us a cab.

We Heart The Special Miami - Lunch Delivered

A few months ago a little birdie at Synergy Yoga clued us in on one of Miami Beach's best known secrets, The Special Miami. Since then, we've been meaning to post about it.

After weeks upon weeks of exercising our well-honed procrastination skills, countless hours spent in procrastinasana, we bring you this:

The Special Miami is a unique lunch service. Daily specials are emailed to you (and posted online) the day before. You reserve by 8 pm. It shows up on your doorstep the next day at lunch time. Simple. Delicious. All of the cool yogis are doing it.

Some of our faves off of the menu are the mushroom and spinach pie, the vegetarian chili (pictured above, which we are totes getting mañana) and every single sandwich they have ever made.

In addition to being vegetarian, occasionally vegan and all around delicious, The Special Miami gives us something to look forward to. And come on, let's face it - we always have the munchies.

Nom, Nom, Nom-aste, Miami.

Where to Get Your Down Dog On Miami Yogis

Ahh, Miami. A very sunny place filled with shady people. We love this city and you should, too.

With that being said, we don't necessarily love all of the yoga happening around the 305. But this post isn't about those we loathe, it is about those we love - so if we don't have anything nice to say about you, we just won't say anything at all.

Without further adieu, presented in alphabetical order, this is where you can find us ass up in down dog this season:

Mano's 6:30* pm class on Wednesday has been on our hit list for a while. We've got quite a few mutual friends and we really, really have been meaning to take a class from him, so this season we're going to make it happen and hopefully write a proper studio review.

Plus, he's got really pretty eyes.

*And by "6:30 pm" we actually mean 6:15 pm - thank you Kristina for the catch :)

Jai Uttal, Daniel Paul & The Mayapuris Under One Roof

...well technically under two roofs since they're giving performances on both Saturday and Sunday.

We're super pumped to have these guys in town this weekend. We've seen some stellar performances at both Unity on the Bay and at Synergy Sobe and we cannot wait to add these acts to our hit list.

Sketchy Studio Commercial - What's Going on Here?

Aauuummmm, what exactly is going on here?

Sometimes people send us stuff to post. Sometimes we post it. This one was passed onto us and definitely has us confused.

We're not too sure of the intention behind this "commercial" from Synergy SoBe, but we are pretty sure that these chicks want to show us their "OM" faces.

Did they sneak into the studio to film this thing? What exactly are they advertising? None of the studio's teachers are represented? And is that one chick wearing a shirt that says, "Eat The Red"?!?!

Wow. We thought we were offensive. Hats and yoga pants off to you, Synergy Yoga.

See it to believe it - Enjoy!

Who, What, When, Where - WAH! in Miami Beach

Wah! in Concert

With just a few days before Wah! comes to town, we wanted to know a little more about what this kirtan crooner likes to do where she's here on our sunny shores.

Namaste Miami asked the "Qs" and Her Wah!-ness provided us with the "As". Enjoy!

Q: Where do you like to stay with you're in Miami?
A: South Beach
