Last fall, we held Fitness Fair to raise awareness for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Back by popular demand, Fitness Fair will help support two great causes, Not for Sale and Lifting Up Lives. The two-day event will be held at Lombardi Sports and will feature an ensemble of trainers and exercise gurus from gyms and fitness centers around the neighborhood.  Free classes include Zumba, yoga, free-runs, urban bootcamp, boxing, rock climbing and more!

Skimble is getting psyched to teach you to climb on Sunday...just bring your positive self and we'll supply everything else you'll need to get started. Here's the schedule:

See you this weekend at Lombardi Sports, located at 1600 Jackson St. San Francisco, CA 94109.

You don't need a mat and a studio to do yoga. I freely admit to slipping into the Tree Pose, often without warning, provocation, rhyme or reason. But just in case you need more than little old me to convince you that yoga is everywhere, here are some examples of unexpected yoga:

And, my personal favorite, a solid potato salad commercial:

It's July 1st and you know what that means...it's time to pick Skimble's June contest winner...big congrats goes out to Kate B & James A.  Each get their own Mountain Hardwear summer adventure outfit!

Special thanks to our sponsor:

Moreover, today...

• is Canada Day!  The big lady turns 143 and if you're in San Francisco, join us for a drink at Kells Irish Bar beginning at 5pm.
• begins the July 4th countdown...what active thing are you going to be doing?  Be sure to do it in style with some Mountain Hardwear gear or, for better or worse, with patriotic 'cordarounds'!

And the WINNERS of last month's prize giveaway (drum roll please.....) are:

 Charity F. & Dustin G. - congrats!

Last month's Lululemon Yoga Mat prizes were donated by our friends at the Lululemon store at 327 Grant Ave. in San Francisco, CA and from the Lulus at the Austin, TX store!

The holidays are coming in fast!  Be sure to take time to chill out, surround yourself with holiday love, and enjoy a new year's treat...

Rusty Well's Bhakti flow studio, Urban Flow, will be opening up New Year's Eve in San Francisco.  Urban Flow will be a donation-based studio in the Mission district of SF and here's the yoga class schedule for 2010.

For those that don't know Rusty, he is a well-respected yogi who practices, teaches, and lives Bhakti yoga - the yoga of love and devotion.

Thanks to Emily Goligoski for giving us the heads up!  We've already added the Urban Flow yoga studio on Skimble and can't wait to get ourselves some more yoga zen flowing in our urban SF lives next year.
