Yoga Gypsies of Des Moines is offering three International Adventures for 2014 including a sailing trip to Belize in March, a Discovery of Morocco in June and a Trek through Thailand in November.

Yoga teacher Dawn Jex recently moved to Des Moines and brought her love for yoga, travel and adventure along with her. Her company exists to inspire and educate others to live simply, breathe deeply and travel lightly.

Jex has practiced yoga in Tulum, Mexico, taught yoga in Costa Rica and is currently planning a sailing trip to Croatia in September. Jex is a 200 level RYT meaning she has at least 200 hours of training, earning her a teaching certificate.

Yoga Gypsies also features stand up paddleboard yoga. Yoga on a board, on the water! This type of yoga is a great way to move yoga into nature and is a fun activity to do with your friends and family. The company can accommodate up to 5 students in each class.

“Yoga doesn't have to be all serious,” Jex said. “It's okay to laugh and have fun too.” she grinned.

Yoga Gypsies is available to teach yoga at your location or organize and plan yoga advenures for other businesses. These types of outings can be great team building exercises as well as help people get out of their routine and experience something new.
