Press Release: Vino & Vinyasa Wine & Yoga events

Attn: Wine/Drink/Food, Health/Fitness, Local Travel Editors and Events Calendar Listings

For Immediate Release

Salem, Ore. (June 26, 2009) – Started by two friends who love both wine and yoga, Vino & Vinyasa brings the restorative power of yoga to the outdoor beauty of Oregon’s wine country. From the ground to the glass, Mother Earth nurtures the grapevines as our guests nurture mind, body and spirit during retreats and classes at the Willamette Valley’s finest vineyards.

Nichole Taylor, a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga Teacher (200 hour level) and an ACE Certified Personal Trainer, will guide students of all fitness levels through revitalizing open air yoga during Vino & Vinyasa. The dates listed below are opportunities to shed a busy lifestyle and reflect on the simple pleasures of life, from echoing bird songs to the the gentle sway of trees; a much needed chance to connect with nature before indulging the senses with carefully crafted wines.

To show our respect for the Earth we use as few disposal products as possible (and recycle or compost whatever we can); choosing instead to reusable dishes and utensils, many rescued from second-hand stores. Each of our Vino & Vinyasa events features a healthy breakfast focusing on locally produced products, including CKC Catering’s hearty “That Oatmeal” multi-grain cereal and Portland small-batch roasted Zbeanz coffee.
