Yogi/Yogini for unusual yoga class

redbirds_vision@... (Corina Roberts) — Mon, 19 May 2025 09:21:31 -0700

For ten years we've hosted Moto Yoga at Chilao School in the Angeles National Forest. In April our yogi had to leave us to care for a family member. Moto Yoga happens seven times a year. As the name and flier imply, our class is not typical. We promote healthy habits for motorcycle riders, bicyclists, and really every body, especially mature ones, to help them stay active longer.

This yoga class is donation based (yogi gets the lion's share of the donations), highly variable in attendance, and we have brunch and chair massage after yoga. Well, we have the chair, anyway. Our yogi was also our massage therapist. Our guest yogini for this Sunday had to cancel, so if you wanted to come up and check out the location and the vibe, we'll be there...not exactly sure what the yoga program is going to look like, but failing all else, we'll be enjoying food, great friends and the forest.

You can reach me (text is best) at 626.644.7558 or by email at redbirds_vision@...

Hi LACultureNet!

I'd like to formally introduce the Unprecedented Music Association (UMA), an emerging nonprofit collective of composers and musicians dedicated to creating bold, inclusive orchestral experiences that support and spotlight the next generation of music makers.

We’re thrilled to share that our debut concert, IMPACT, will take place on Friday, May 23, 2025, at the Aratani Theatre in Los Angeles. IMPACT features bold new works by a cohort of rising composers and marks the first performance by our flagship ensemble, the Unprecedented Music Orchestra. This concert is not just a premiere--it’s a statement that orchestral music can be immersive, inclusive, and deeply relevant to the world we live in.

🎟�� Learn more about the show and RSVP here: https://www.umamusic.org/event-details/impact
