Welcome to our Club! We started the LaVernia Stress Less Society as a community of enthusiastic individuals dedicated to exploring the transformative tools of yoga, and meditation with a mutual goal of health and happiness. Our club meets regularly at members' houses and various lovely locations, providing a welcoming atmosphere for all skill levels.

Our club also often travels together. This is not mandatary but you are welcome to come explore the globe with us.

Currently, we hold our weekly sessions on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays 7 PM-8:15PM and Wednesday mornings at 8:30am,, gathering at a private location in La Vernia, Texas. Currently membership dues of $99/month support our social activities, and our clubhouse situated at 13549 U.S. Hwy 87 W, La Vernia, TX 78121. It is our hope that as the club grows, eventually our teachers will be compensated as well. Right now our teachers volunteer their time or are paid by donations from Margie Sanders, of Bliss House Yoga.

Join us for rejuvenating yoga and breathwork classes, mindful meditation practice, and friendships. For any questions or additional information, please reach out to Margie Sanders at 314-882-3075. We look forward to sharing this journey with you!
