YOGA FOREVER RECEIVES TONS OF PRESS!
ohmygod.. YOGA FOREVER is only on it's third class and we already have write ups on LAmetblogs, and CBS NEWS!
amazing.. check them out-
CBSNEWS
People Are Dying To Get Into This Yoga Class!
Yoga Forever Held At The Hollywood Forever Cemetery Every Tuesday
HOLLYWOOD (CBS) ―
There are yoga classes for women who are pregnant, people who like to sweat, people who don't like to sweat, and classes for people who like to bend it like Beckham.
But Yoga At Dusk, held at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery every week, obviously attracts ... well, people looking for something vastly different.
Every Tuesday at 7 p.m., the class is held in front of a mausoleum. At the end of the class, the students do the savasana -- the final rest of corpse pose (of course!)
Organizers say you won't find a more peaceful place...and frankly we can't think of anyplace quieter.
For more information about the class, contact organizer Rick Castro at info-antebellum@earthlink.net

YOGA FOREVER @ THE HOLLYWOOD CEMETERY

Yoga at the cemetery
By Chal Pivik
August 24th, 2009 @ 1:48 PM Fun, Health, Hollywood
Do yoga, leave a beautiful corpse, I say. And now you can work on corpse pose at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, which, if you haven’t noticed, has rebranded itself as “not your grandfather’s graveyard.” (Who knew death could be so much fun?)
Toward that end, Antebellum Gallery is presenting Yoga Forever, a yoga class held at Hollywood Forever, on the lawn in front of the mausoleum (where they show the movies) every Tuesday at 7 PM.
This week, Yogi Camille Hines will lead the class with DJ Shawn Parker providing the soundtrack. Bring your own mat– and a blanket and warm clothing, they advise, to ward off the chill.
Bend, stretch, reach for the stars– the ones in the sky as well as those interred all around you.
Hollywood Forever Cemetery, 6000 Santa Monica Blvd. hollywood, CA 90038, Yoga class is $20, includes parking.
also a video!-
the premiere class of YOGA FOREVER @ the hollywood cemetery.
please join us every tuesday @7pm- august 25th- yogi- camille hines, with special guest DJ- shawn parker.
AND HERE ARE SOME TIPS FROM MR.YOGA
When starting any new fitness program, it's most people's first instinct to start out brimming with enthusiasm and effort. This is particularly true of yoga, which is often thought of as easier and less intense than aerobic exercise. Do not be fooled, however! As with anything, it's important to start out slowly. Listed below are some yoga tips to consider before taking classes:
•There are MANY different styles of yoga, each with a different emphasis (eg stretching, strength, or fitness) and it's important to find the one that best suits you.
•Find a teacher that you like and trust, and who gives all their students individual help and attention as needed. A good teacher will gladly pass on his or her own yoga tips.
Once you've started taking yoga classes, there are many things you can do to to make things easier and more enjoyable. These yoga tips involve both things you should do to prepare for classes, and things to keep in mind during classes:
•The best time for yoga is in the morning before breakfast, or later in the evening.
•Before beginning a yoga class you should empty your bowels and bladder, and remove mucus from your nose, throat and lungs.
•It's best to wear clothing that's loose and comfortable, for easy movement.
•Try to avoid eating (except for a light snack if you need it) for 2 hours before a class, as it will more than likely make you feel tired and heavy.
•Be punctual to classes; the poses are done in sequence for a reason.
•Make sure you completely master the easy poses before you move onto the harder ones. DON'T feel foolish if you can't master a difficult pose the first few times you attempt it.
•Be sure to tell your yoga instructor before the class if you are ill or injured; they can tell you how to alter the poses to avoid making things worse.
•Whatever you do, DON'T force yourself to look exactly like the instructor in the class, the person on the TV or the picture in the book. Just because you mightn't look exactly like your instructor when you do a particular pose, doesn't mean you're not doing it "right". Forcing your body beyond its' limits will only cause injury.
•Be wary of the difference between feeling sensations or resistance and feeling pain; you should not feel pain while doing yoga, and if you do it could mean you aren't doing something right or need to adjust a pose to suit you better.
THANKS FOR THE TIPS MR.YOGA!
