New Year, New Frontier | Welcome 2016!
We're boldly [trust] fallin' into another year with 360 days left to embrace new mantras and go big! What better way to kick off our best year yet than with a big announcement... WE'RE EXPANDING CITIES.
We've picked two of the hottest (well, one is actually very cold) U.S. cities to welcome us with open arms. Now our family and friends coast-to-coast can experience GTM in their own backyard.
Here's a sneak peak of our new teammates:
1. BOSTON

Boston may be one of the chillest cities on our list, but this crew can help keep you warm with their cheery disposition. They are definitely a group who knows how to loosen up and have fun (just wait till you see their new head shots). Grip The Mat Boston is redefining the Boston social scene with our co-teaching method for feel good vinyasa yoga class and our classic signature social series. We're excited to introduce Boston to our three loves: Vinyasa to Vino, Soul & Spirits and, of course, Bendy Brunch. Grip The Mat Boston is more than a gym alternative or a cozy happy hour (although who wouldn't want to stick around the bar in yoga pants?). Think of it as the alternative fitness for Boston's fun-loving, highly meditated and culturally curious crowd.
Stay tuned for a blog meet-and-greet with our Boston Producer and fierce yoga teachers next week.

2. LOS ANGELES

While these sun bunnies may always have the perfect 70 degrees with a slight breeze, it is the imperfect pleasures that make this team happy. Who says you have to have a flawless handstand to show off that new Grip The Mat yoga tank? We cannot wait to see what these sandy souls have in store for the rest of us. Let's hope they will, at least, share their sunshine.
If you're looking for local yoga AND local activities in Los Angeles, search no further. Grip The Mat is pairing together Los Angeles' favorite yoga instructors for a West Coast take on our signature dual-teaching style featuring vinyasa flow for all levels. Get ready. Your L.A. calendar is about to get booked with yoga, wine tastings, healthy hydrating cocktail hours and delicious L.A. style brunch. It's the new best way to meet people in Los Angeles.

Who's excited for MORE feel-good yoga, MORE authentic social experiences in MORE badass spaces for our rapidly expanding GTM family?
And Washington, D.C., we cannot wait to celebrate 2016 with you on Thursday at Vinyasa to Vino at A Baked Joint. We love our D.C. yoga wine tasting crew and can't wait for a chill night out with yoga, wine and friends. For a sneak peak, check out this video:

More to come about the launch events in both Boston and Los Angeles. Stay tuned on our Instagram and Twitter to be the first to know.
2016 is the year of making bigger changes, bolder moves and chasing your dreams. It is here. It is now. We are excited to share it with all of you!
Cheers + Namaste,
Grip The Mat
