San Diego: America's Finest Yoga City

Every once in a while, yoga takes over San Diego. We're not just talking a cool event or two here and there, but a mega week jam-packed with all the yoga, chanting, connecting, inspiring, sharing and OM-ing that one's yoga-fied heart could desire. This week is one of those. My yoga social calendar is overflowing, so much so that I'm having trouble keeping track of all the great events. So, partially for my own sanity, and to help spread the love, here is a list of not-to-be-missed yoga events in and around San Diego....
