Yogi/Yogini for unusual yoga class
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@...
