Shikantaza
is good for no thing
People travel from all over the world to find relaxation and healing in Joshua Tree National Park. There are many things to do and see in the high desert, though the most important thing for our mental health and wellness is to - do nothing.
At Yucca Yoga we move through slow and gentle asanas (postures) to prepare the body for a Zen Buddhist practice called Shikantaza, translated as "just sitting".
We’re
Alan & Laura
Creators, Yucca Yoga
We have been practicing and teaching Hatha Yoga over 20 years. When we aren’t hiking our favorite trails in Joshua Tree, we study Classical Indian Music with highly skilled teachers in India, Europe and the United States. We host yoga, flute, guitar and singing classes out of our Yucca Valley home and want to share our passion for health and wellbeing with friends and visitors of the high desert area.
Learn Guitar
Practice is it’s own reward
Alan has been studying various forms of guitar for decades and finds the most valuable way to honor this age old tradition is to share the music.
Specializing in American-folk guitar songs adapted from Old Time fiddle tunes, his approach is simple, fun and effective for learning acoustic guitar.
