You may remember that this past weekend I spent three days in the Los Angeles Marriott in a workshop and before leaving had set out a plan of attack to make sure I had both healthy options to eat and opportunity to get in a couple of good workouts.
Saturday morning, Jolee and I got up super early and drove to Venice to Exhale Mind Body Spa for yoga! I had visited Exhale in New York when the folks at Passport to Prana had sent me their card to try. I fell in love with this studio so when I found out that they had one only a few miles from our hotel this past weekend we were sold!
The studio attracted an eclectic mix of people in all age ranges for the Yoga 2 class. What a workout! For an hour and a half we moved from one position to the next and after more Downward Dogs than I can count I left completely buzzing. Yoga, and this class in particular is a mixture of strength, cardio, and meditation and total body awareness that I don't get with my other workouts.

Its been awhile since I took a yoga class like this so my shoulders really felt it the next day. So now I'm ready for a good massage AND ready to commit to a yoga studio in San Diego to continue the practice!
