Yoga & Pro Bono (Day 1)

This afternoon, I drove over to Maple Ridge to attend Amy's yoga session.  She really made us sweat!

After all the yoga, I drove back into the city to help Trevor and Cass with their short-film.  Uh oh, which Redshirt is it going to be?!?  ;-)

Knowing these two,

there's bound to be stunts!

Hmmm...  Maybe I didn't do this for free.  ;-)

Stretch & Eat

A bunch of us went over to Oxygen Yoga this afternoon...

for a session with Amy!

It was her first class teaching!

Lori-Anne told me about it, so I invited Angela to come.

Here's our cute yogini!

Salamba Sirsasana!

Namaste Amy!!!  :-)

On the way back to Vancouver, Angela spotted Yuko's billboard along the highway,

so we pulled-over for a photo!

We eventually arrived at Italian Day on The Drive,

had some eats,

and then we were off to brave another crowd downtown for some gelati.  Haha!

No raindrops falling on our heads today!  :-)

Farm to Yoga Part II: Spring

I drove over to The Hot Box Yoga studio in UBC this morning for a workshop.

 Sarah Bobo and Melanie also attended!

The owner's doggie!

Here's Tedi Martin, our favourite yoga instructor!

I've missed her ever since she stopped teaching at the Steve Nash Sports Club.  :-(

Here we go with a walk towards the UBC Farm!

Melanie and Bobo in front of the yurt...

We started with a tour of the farm...

guided by Chelsea.

Those are Kale!

After the tour, we all returned to the yurt.  Tedi Martin and Dr. Angela Foran educated us with some Traditional Chinese Medicine about the effects of the Spring season and its association with our liver.    That was followed by an awesome yoga session which ended with a savasana that incorporated a little acupuncture.  It was such a treat that I can't wait to attend the next one!

Gratitude to Tedi, Angela, and Chelsea for a wonderful day!!!  :-)

Eye, Spin, Yoga, and Sand

The day had finally come for the MOMMIETRON's first cataract surgery.  And look, Ann's boyfriend Riley was assisting her eye doctor Kevin Wade!

They took really good care of her and she was done in an hour!  :-)

In the late afternoon, Sarah and I took Kelsey's cycle class at the Steve Nash Sports Club.

Next was Lila's Rooftop Yoga!

The timing couldn't be more perfect for a Yin session.

Thank you Lila!!!  :-) 

After all the stretching, we walked down to the beach...

with Jeff, Yvonne, and Misha!  :-)

First Job of 2014

I had to work today, but first I attended The Base Wellness Launch Event at Pacific Centre this morning!

There was a free bootcamp,

but Tedi Martin was the main reason I came down to the Atrium.  She taught a free yoga session...

before her interview with Jon McComb!

LOL!  She was so nervous at first,

but she turned-out to be a natural.  :-)

Everyone got a free yoga matt...

and an umbrella just for attending!

Thanks Tedi!!!  :-)

After all the stretching, I (JR Talent) lugged my new Helly Hansen bag to work at North Shore Studios.  It's so big I think I can fit myself inside it!

Marie (JR Talent) and Michele (Showbiz Management).

Nicole (Local Color) had a special technique to stay warm by the heater.  She reminded me of Michael Jackson in his "Dirty Diana" video.  LOL!

Production: Click here.

Type of Call: 24 Background.

Length of Call: 7 4/10 Hours.

Liz is Leaving :-(

I ran into Lila at the gym after my workout, so we went out for brunch at Provence Marinaside!

After our meal, I went over to Liz's place because she was selling all her stuff to prepare for her move to Mexico!  She's going to be working at Baja-Zen, a Yoga & Surf Retreat Center.  I ended-up buying a couple of things and eating her food.  ;-)

She's not going to be alone on this trek.  Little Miss Baja will be accompanying her!  I'm gonna miss Liz.  She's been one of my favourite yoga instructors at the Steve Nash Sports Club.  :-(
