Yoga + Champagne + Chocolate (Photos)

Tonight at the Blue Iris Yoga Studio in Palo Alto, where they offer experiences in yoga, Pilates, meditation and wellness treatments, you can treat yourself and your Valentine to a luxurious combo: a superb yoga experience followed by champagne and chocolate.

Popularized a few years ago when a wine and chocolate craze infiltrated the yoga community, the inclusion of spirits and treats with or after practicing yoga in a studio is evidence of how Western yoga is expanding and exploring the more staid notions of yoga's boundaries. Enjoying the full spectrum of delights from a meditative mindset is enabled by the practice of yoga, and enhances both according to people who attend these events.

Whether you're a spontaneous free-spirit who's looking for inspiration or find yourself in the unenviable position of last minute gift hunting, this novel and scintillating combination is sure to offer a Valentine's to remember.
