Yoga has become a great and important part of my life in the last couple years, as most of you know.  If you haven’t tried it, I urge you to- and what better way to start then by attending one of the Lululemon Salutation Nation events on August 7th?! Lulu is trying to get people in cities all over the country to  practice outside on that morning with free classes!  It’s a great community builder, and not at all “put on your Reeboks and drink the Kool Aid” cult-ish as it might seem to some.  My yoga practice has lead me to meet some of the coolest, most amazing people in my life- benefits beyond a tighter booty and triceps. So grab some friends and find out where your local August 7th event is (and then go stuff your face at brunch)!  I’ll be at the Boston one on the Esplanade, and am delighted that the class is being taught by my own teacher David Magone! So look for me and come say hi-I’m making my friends come as a pre-game to my birthday soiree that night.  Nothing like some extra down-dogging to limber up for martinis and a night of disco dancing!

Look for a new yoga series on the blog starting in August- I’ll help break it down for you design divas who need some zen in your life. :)

Rooftop Yoga

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

Last week Jess, Liana and I were invited to a fantastic event across the street from our studios featuring a yoga class with David from South Boston Yoga, mats by the witty Plank and jaw-dropping views courtesy of a penthouse at FP3 (all co-ordinated by PR peeps 5s).  It was such a unique, cool event, especially for yoginis like me!  I was super amused with my Plank mat, which features a bathroom tile floor covered in pills- the “Medicated and Meditated” mat, if you will. Others received the wood plank  (with half eaten muffin at one end, natch), grass with a slithering cobra and shag rug complete with hand imprints. An injection of humor into the oft serious world of yoga. Stay tuned for an AMAZING giveaway this Friday with Plank (non-yogi’s will love it too)!

After class we were treated to strawberry basil vodka cocktails and snacks inside the sunlit unit. Here are some pics from the event!

Have I mentioned how much I love this city?

Best. Yoga. Video. Ever.

Ok, so perhaps I’m slightly biased seeing as he’s my own yoga teacher, but I had to share the promo for the inimitable David Magone’s DVD coming out this June!  I’m personally so excited for him and now that I see how artfully and stylishly it was shot (helllloooo killer B&W) I am all the more pumped! It’ll be a great resource for those of you who can’t get to one of his classes in person and for those of you looking for a solid at home practice. It’s a truly magnificent and unique style of yoga that I really think you’ll enjoy, beginner and advanced students alike. I for one am so grateful to be able to practice with him and am amazed at what it’s done for me physically and mentally.

The DVD will be sold on his website and at Sports Club LA gyms and Exhale Spas nationwide (and at select Lululemon stores too, so you can get a hot new yoga outfit too!) I’ll be sure to holler at ya when it actually drops. Have a great weekend!
