May 13, 2014 by

Bikram Hot Yoga Houston offers 90 minute, teacher-led sessions in a room that’s heated to 105 degrees. Why so hot? Aficionados claim that the heat loosens muscles and prevents injury. It also promotes detoxification and increases circulation.

Each class takes you through six yoga postures and breathing practices, essentially stretching your muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints, and internal organs and helping to circulate highly oxygenated blood throughout your body.

The Galleria: People Watching and Window Shopping

April 28, 2014 by

You don’t have to go to New York or Paris to window shop top international designers. Just spend an afternoon at Houston’s Galleria. As one of the largest malls in the country, this mall is filled with high-end stores like Burberry, Cartier, Chanel, Coach, Ermenegildo Zegna, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Tiffany & Co., and more. Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, and two Macy’s anchor the mall.

There are plenty of options for those with a more limited wardrobe budget too. Popular favorites like American Eagle, Banana Republic, Express, and J. Crew have stores here. You can shop Apple, and Microsoft, as well as Brookstone, Sony, and LEGO. There are even Porsche Design and Tesla stores. Looking for a Texas-themed gift for an out of state friend? Stop by Gifts of Texas for a unique souvenir.

Many come for the indoor skating rink and to stroll around the seemingly endless complex. Grab a gelato from Café Dolce Gelato and stroll the mall window shopping and people watching. The Galleria is the hottest mall in Houston, and it can get crowded compared to other area malls, so be prepared. For those that don’t want to drive around looking for a parking spot, the paid valet and express parking may be solutions.
