Yoga Classes and Biodegradable Mats in Santa Monica
I’m here in Santa Monica, looking for a job, and we are looking for an apartment while hubby Carlos starts his new assignment here.
Yesterday, I spent the whole day walking around Main Street. It’s where Carlos works, and there are lots of shops and coffee shops to see. It seemed, to me, that every other person carried a yoga mat! In the early evening, I saw a steady stream of people coming out of their Hot Yoga class at Yoga Works (yogaworks.com). There’s a new student’s special at the Main Street location of two weeks unlimited classes for $30 that expires Sept. 30. Carlos and I want to sign up when we move in!
Also, I ran into a store called Natural High, which sells organic/biodegradable clothing, shoes, and home products like sheets and rugs.
They had a yoga mat that I just would love to have. Will add photos later

Many apologies to the people of Yoga Works! I assumed that because the people streaming out of Yoga Works were all aglow, and in some cases, drenched in sweat, and because when I went into Yoga Works to get a schedule, the place was like a sauna, that the Tuesday night class was a Hot Yoga class (a Hot Yoga class is one in which the room temperature is brought up to something like 95-100 degrees Fahrenheit). It turns out that the class gets steamy because of its great energy alone. Can’t wait to try it, and thanks to Terri of Yoga Works for the information!
you have to come try our classes at yogaworks…that tuesday night class is with Vinnie..it’s not actually hot yoga - but the room steams with people, energy and music -if you and your new hubby would like to try a free class…it’s on the house - email and let me know.

Hi yoga dvd dude,
Here’s a link to the item at Natural High, with pics…

I’ve gotten my own mat, and I LOVE it! But I’ve also taken to doing yoga on the beach, which is heavenly, using a beach towel instead of the mat. So, I’ll have to get back to you if you want to hear more about it.
