#EarthDay Event: Tadasana Festival of Yoga & Music

Friday, 20 April 2012 14:31 by Beth

It’s Earth Day weekend and what better way to celebrate than head to the beach in Santa Monica for a weekend full of yoga, music, organic food and more.  Starting bright and early this Friday at 8AM the Tadasana festival begins. 


What is Tadasana?

  • 60 World Class Yoga Teachers
  • 32 Incredible Music Acts performing in yoga classes and at night
  • 40 Amazing Speakers in The Daily Love Lounge
  • An Eco-Village featuring 70 Booths
  • Top Artists, Organic Food Court, the Santa Monica Beach + Unparalleled Fun

The Tadasana Festival of Yoga & Music is a three-day transformative experience in Santa Monica, CA, to be held over Earth Day Weekend, April 20-22, 2012. Attendees will be able to choose from 60 master teachers offering 75+ classes and workshops with live, in-class musical performances by artists from around the world, as well as dozens of lectures and an eco-conscious shopping market in an outstanding location, a mere five-minute walk from the famed Santa Monica Pier.

 


The Tadasana Village, located at the edge of the beach facing the Pacific Ocean, will feature five themed yoga tents, The Daily Love Lounge Lecture Dome, artwork, chill zones, an organic food court, 60+ booths of eco-goodness and so much more!

 


Tadasana will treat attendees to an outstanding community experience, featuring world-class yoga and one-of-a-kind musical events, in a city that has become the epicenter of yoga in America. A typical day begins around 8 am with beach strolls, smoothies, organic food and of course, yoga. Morning meditations will be on tap for early risers. Throughout the day, attendees choose from a variety of classes, workshops and lectures. In addition to practicing yoga, the Tadasana Village will offer an awesome place for people to connect, shop, eat and hang.

 


Lucky for me I live close, so I’ll be biking it down to the event.  If you do live a bit farther try to find alternative means of transportation, take the bus or at least carpool with a friend.

Yes, I used the "E" word. Eco is not as scary as you think. People who are concerned about the environment come from a lot of different backgrounds. I love trees but I don't spend that much time hugging them. I am not a huge fan of camping. I don't have dreadlocks. I don't weave my own clothes out of hemp. But I am still concerned with the state of the environment and am passionate about making a difference. My goal is to do things within my power to make the earth a better place. ....

Attire to Inspire Clean Air

Monday, 7 March 2011 11:18 by Beth

 

Fashion Week LA is coming up, but a few designers previewed their new looks last month. The event was Attire to Inspire, a fashion show to benefit Breathe LA.  Mr. Fashion himself, Nick Verreos from E! Entertainment and Project Runway hosted the show!  The featured designs came from some of the hottest fashion lines and designers in LA including: Frankie B., by Daniella Clarke; J. Steger, by Jason Steger; Eva Franco; and Safir, by Sanaz Afsar.

 It was held at Siren Studios on Sunset.  I love going to this place, because they have this great white room on their top floor that can be transformed into just about anything your imagination can dream up.  This night it was transformed in to a runway fashion show and cocktail lounge too! 

 

 

The show had everything from casual to eveningwear and even bridal wear.  Daniella Clark’s funky fashion and signature Frankie b. jeans were amazing on the runway! Daniella designs for women like her: laid back, feminine and confident -- with a bit of an edge; and she creates clothing that encourages women to feel alive, stylish, and unique. She is also married to guitarist Gilby Clarke from Guns and Roses, who was there to support his beautiful wife.

 

 

While the pollution in LA is not as bad as in China, it’s still a very important issue, especially to those who have issues with asthma, allergies and lung disease.  I had asthma as a child, but was lucky enough to grow out of it, so this cause was an important issue for me.  It was nice to see the celebrity support there for such a good cause too.  The celebrity guests included Michael Steger (True Blood and 90210),  Rick Malambri (Step-Up 3D), Brea Grant (Heroes, Halloween 2), Johnny Pacar (Make it or Break it), Alexandra Crosby (Transformers) and more.

 

 

 

 

 

I’m glad everyone is on the bandwagon to recycle and use re-usable bags, but we can’t forget one of the most important unseen issues, which is clean air.  We take it for grated most days living in beautiful Southern California, but we have to work hard to keep it that way.  Breathe California of Los Angeles’ mission is to promote clean air and healthy lungs through research, education, and technology.  To learn more about the organization, donate or volunteer please check out their website, http://breathela.org/ , and stay tuned for their next event in May 12th  – 2011 Breathe Life Awards.
