Gorilla Yogis
These two area yoga teachers first caught our eye last summer, as they staged multiple public yoga sessions in some very unique places – like outside the Walker Art Center, for instance. And tomorrow, Jes Rosenberg and Nan Arundel will host a big, open to one and all yoga session at none other than Target Field! The event gets underway at 10am – and it will truly be fun for everyone, beginners and kids included! Yoga is body and mental exercise that’s good for your physical AND mental AND spiritual health, and these ladies are bringing yoga out of the studio and into the urban jungle! Listen here

Cars honked and a DJ was playing funky tunes as dozens of arms reached toward the sky. read more here
METRO MAGAZINE JUNE 2010
Thousands of years before designer yoga duds, chain studios and celebrity instructors, yoga existed as a way to bring people together for good.
