✨New Instructor Highlight✨Elise began her yoga journey in 2018 as a university elective and what started as a class quickly became something much deeper. She fell in love with the philosophy, meditation, and the physical practice, and yoga has been a steady anchor in her life ever since.
Through her practice, she’s cultivated a deeper connection to her mind, body, and soul and now she’s passionate about creating that same space for others.
Elise has learned from incredible teachers in Austin, San Antonio, the RGV, and Mexico, bringing a well-rounded and grounded perspective to her classes.
Her goal is simple and beautiful: to impact students of all levels, backgrounds, and abilities; and to build a community united through shared experience.
We’re so excited to welcome her to the Yoga House family 🤍

COMING SOON
Voces del Arte Popular: IMAS Mexican Folk Art Collection
March 8, 2026 – September 27, 2026
https://theimasonline.org/voces-del-arte-popular/
For the past two years IMAS has undertaken research in our Mexican and Latin American Folk Art Collection in partnership with University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and other distinguished scholars and curators which has expanded accessibility to the collection and has examined the collection through an anthropological lens of materiality, cultural continuity, and community.
Voces del Arte Popular: IMAS Mexican Folk Art Collection will present pieces from different regions of Mexico to educate the community about the symbols and icons that are important to the identity of communities in Mexico and the United States.
This exhibit is supported by Texas Commission on the Arts , National Endowment for the Arts, Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Helen Frankenthaler Foundation, and a grant from an anonymous donor.
The IMAS sends a HUGE congratulations to KRGV Tim Smith on being named the 2026 FLASH National Weatherperson of the Year!
Tim Smith, Chief Meteorologist at Channel 5 News for more than 40 years and active community member, served on the IMAS Board of Trustees from 2006 to 2013 and held the position of Board President from 2009 to 2011. Alongside Kirk Clark, Tim is regarded as the co-father of Brew-seum presented by IMAS which has supported museum educational programs and exhibits for over 18 years. Tim continues to be an informal advisor, friend, and supporter of the museum, always with a mind toward serving the community.
In 2021, Tim was named the first members of the Brewseum Mug Club, a tribute to his genuine care and contributions to our mission. Then in 2024, Tim was honored at the Collage Annual Gala.
Tim steadfastly navigates the community through weather events and embodies “service over self” in every way.
Congratulations, Tim!
This Valentine’s Day, fall in love with your morning routine 💕

Grateful for Water
On Exhibit at the IMAS
January 14 - April 26, 2026
The Grateful for Water art contest is an annual initiative hosted by McAllen Public Utility’s Water Education Team, designed specifically for high school students who live in McAllen. The contest encourages students to explore the value of water in their daily lives, reflecting on its importance in our community, environment, and future. Participants are challenged to express their creativity while considering the role water plays in sustaining life and the responsibility we all share to conserve this vital resource.
2025 marked the third year of MPU hosting this contest, which featured an impressive array of paintings and drawings from students across the city. The theme this past year was “Clean Water, Clean Future.” Each piece highlights water and its beauty, significance, and the importance of smart water usage, offering unique perspectives and creative interpretations of the theme. The students’ artwork provides viewers with an engaging and meaningful visual experience.
The winning and participating artworks are proudly displayed in this exhibit as a celebration of creativity, education, and environmental stewardship. Through this contest, McAllen Public Utility aims to inspire a deeper appreciation for water among our city’s youth and encourage them to become thoughtful stewards of this essential resource. We are grateful to all the students who participated and hope their work motivates the community to reflect on the importance of water in daily life.

Grateful for Water
On Exhibit at the IMAS
January 14 - April 26, 2026
mcallenpublicutility
The Grateful for Water art contest is an annual initiative hosted by McAllen Public Utility’s Water Education Team, designed specifically for high school students who live in McAllen. The contest encourages students to explore the value of water in their daily lives, reflecting on its importance in our community, environment, and future. Participants are challenged to express their creativity while considering the role water plays in sustaining life and the responsibility we all share to conserve this vital resource.
2025 marked the third year of MPU hosting this contest, which featured an impressive array of paintings and drawings from students across the city. The theme this past year was “Clean Water, Clean Future.” Each piece highlights water and its beauty, significance, and the importance of smart water usage, offering unique perspectives and creative interpretations of the theme. The students’ artwork provides viewers with an engaging and meaningful visual experience.
The winning and participating artworks are proudly displayed in this exhibit as a celebration of creativity, education, and environmental stewardship. Through this contest, McAllen Public Utility aims to inspire a deeper appreciation for water among our city’s youth and encourage them to become thoughtful stewards of this essential resource. We are grateful to all the students who participated and hope their work motivates the community to reflect on the importance of water in daily life.

This isn’t something we ever wanted to do, but at this point it’s necessary.
After more than a decade of supporting live music and local artists at The Flying Walrus, we’re now facing legal costs simply to ensure fairness and due process. What was once handled through communication has escalated to the point where retaining counsel is the only responsible option left.
We’re raising funds to help cover those legal costs, not to attack anyone, and not to avoid accountability but to stand on principles of fairness, consistency, and due process.
If you’ve ever attended a show here, played on our stage, worked our door, or believe in the importance of independent music spaces, we’re asking for help so we can continue supporting live music and the community built around it.

📣 Bingo Update 📣
We want to sincerely apologize for the recent cancellation of bingo. This decision was not made lightly. We are currently reorganizing our bingo operations to ensure that moving forward, we can host bingo consistently and without last-minute issues.
We know bingo has been a cherished tradition in our community for over 30 years, and that history matters to us. Unfortunately, we need a little time to get everything properly aligned so we can continue serving our amazing bingo players the way you deserve.
Our goal is to come back stronger, better organized, and fully prepared to avoid these types of cancellations in the future. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding during this time of reorganization, and we thank you for your continued support. We look forward to welcoming you back very soon! 💙🎉

Come experience history, collectibles, and community in our beautiful historic hotel ✨
For more than a decade, The Flying Walrus has been part of downtown McAllen’s live music and small-business community. Since opening in 2012, the venue has hosted thousands of performances by local, regional, and touring artists, while working in good faith with City departments to address issues as they arise and comply with applicable requirements.
Over the past year, that long-standing dynamic has changed.
Matters that were historically handled through communication and correction and that were fully curable have escalated into citations, court proceedings, and prolonged uncertainty. Despite a record of cooperation and responsiveness, the venue is now required to defend itself in multiple legal proceedings.
Legal defense takes time, money, and stamina resources that many small businesses simply do not have. Systems often rely on fatigue, cost, and discouragement. Not because concerns lack merit, but because most people cannot afford to push back for long. Faced with that reality, many choose to walk away rather than pursue fairness.
We are choosing not to walk away.
Funds raised through this campaign will be used exclusively for:
• Legal defense costs and attorney retainers
• Court filings, records requests, and compliance-related expenses
• Professional support needed to respond properly and responsibly
Every dollar raised helps offset the financial pressure of defending a small business through a process that can otherwise be overwhelming.
This effort is not about attacking the City, and it is not about avoiding accountability. It is about ensuring that a long-standing small business is treated fairly and given a reasonable opportunity to comply without being destabilized by abrupt shifts in enforcement.
The Flying Walrus has always believed in being part of the solution and working collaboratively, addressing issues, and contributing to the cultural and economic life of downtown McAllen. This effort is about preserving that opportunity, not just for one venue, but for the artists, staff, and community members who rely on independent local spaces like this one.
If you’ve ever enjoyed live music here, supported local artists, or believe that small businesses deserve fair treatment and clear processes, your support matters.
Thank you for standing with us.

Grateful for Water On Exhibit at the IMAS January 14 - April 26, 2026 The Grateful for Water art contest is an annual initiative hosted by McAllen Public Utility’s Water Education Team, designed specifically for high school students who live in McAllen. The contest encourages students to explore the value of water in their daily lives, reflecting on its importance in our community, environment, and future. Participants are challenged to express their creativity while considering the role water plays in sustaining life and the responsibility we all share to conserve this vital resource. 2025 marked the third year of MPU hosting this contest, which featured an impressive array of paintings and drawings from students across the city. The theme this past year was “Clean Water, Clean Future.” Each piece highlights water and its beauty, significance, and the importance of smart water usage, offering unique perspectives and creative interpretations of the theme. The students’ artwork provides viewers with an engaging and meaningful visual experience. The winning and participating artworks are proudly displayed in this exhibit as a celebration of creativity, education, and environmental stewardship. Through this contest, McAllen Public Utility aims to inspire a deeper appreciation for water among our city’s youth and encourage them to become thoughtful stewards of this essential resource. We are grateful to all the students who participated and hope their work motivates the community to reflect on the importance of water in daily life. https://theimasonline.org/grateful-for-water/ #mcallenpublicworks #ExploreIMAS #mcallen #mcallentx

Grateful for Water On Exhibit at the IMAS January 14 - April 26, 2026 mcallenpublicutility The Grateful for Water art contest is an annual initiative hosted by McAllen Public Utility’s Water Education Team, designed specifically for high school students who live in McAllen. The contest encourages students to explore the value of water in their daily lives, reflecting on its importance in our community, environment, and future. Participants are challenged to express their creativity while considering the role water plays in sustaining life and the responsibility we all share to conserve this vital resource. 2025 marked the third year of MPU hosting this contest, which featured an impressive array of paintings and drawings from students across the city. The theme this past year was “Clean Water, Clean Future.” Each piece highlights water and its beauty, significance, and the importance of smart water usage, offering unique perspectives and creative interpretations of the theme. The students’ artwork provides viewers with an engaging and meaningful visual experience. The winning and participating artworks are proudly displayed in this exhibit as a celebration of creativity, education, and environmental stewardship. Through this contest, McAllen Public Utility aims to inspire a deeper appreciation for water among our city’s youth and encourage them to become thoughtful stewards of this essential resource. We are grateful to all the students who participated and hope their work motivates the community to reflect on the importance of water in daily life. https://theimasonline.org/grateful-for-water/ #mcallenpublicworks #ExploreIMAS #mcallen #mcallentx

This isn’t something we ever wanted to do, but at this point it’s necessary. After more than a decade of supporting live music and local artists at The Flying Walrus, we’re now facing legal costs simply to ensure fairness and due process. What was once handled through communication has escalated to the point where retaining counsel is the only responsible option left. We’re raising funds to help cover those legal costs, not to attack anyone, and not to avoid accountability but to stand on principles of fairness, consistency, and due process. If you’ve ever attended a show here, played on our stage, worked our door, or believe in the importance of independent music spaces, we’re asking for help so we can continue supporting live music and the community built around it. 🔗 Link in bio Thank you for any support or shares.

Donate to Support The Flying Walrus Legal Defense, organized by The Flying Walrus
For more than a decade, The Flying Walrus has been part of downtown McAllen’s live music and small-business community. Since opening in 2012, the venue has hosted thousands of performances by local, regional, and touring artists, while working in good faith with City departments to address issues as they arise and comply with applicable requirements. Over the past year, that long-standing dynamic has changed. Matters that were historically handled through communication and correction and that were fully curable have escalated into citations, court proceedings, and prolonged uncertainty. Despite a record of cooperation and responsiveness, the venue is now required to defend itself in multiple legal proceedings. Legal defense takes time, money, and stamina resources that many small businesses simply do not have. Systems often rely on fatigue, cost, and discouragement. Not because concerns lack merit, but because most people cannot afford to push back for long. Faced with that reality, many choose to walk away rather than pursue fairness. We are choosing not to walk away. Funds raised through this campaign will be used exclusively for: • Legal defense costs and attorney retainers • Court filings, records requests, and compliance-related expenses • Professional support needed to respond properly and responsibly Every dollar raised helps offset the financial pressure of defending a small business through a process that can otherwise be overwhelming. This effort is not about attacking the City, and it is not about avoiding accountability. It is about ensuring that a long-standing small business is treated fairly and given a reasonable opportunity to comply without being destabilized by abrupt shifts in enforcement. The Flying Walrus has always believed in being part of the solution and working collaboratively, addressing issues, and contributing to the cultural and economic life of downtown McAllen. This effort is about preserving that opportunity, not just for one venue, but for the artists, staff, and community members who rely on independent local spaces like this one. If you’ve ever enjoyed live music here, supported local artists, or believe that small businesses deserve fair treatment and clear processes, your support matters. Thank you for standing with us.
