Yoga4dogs takes to the Skies
Long Beach!! I haven’t been to that part of California since I was about 9 years old. My parents went to a lot of conventions in LB while I was growing up, and one time they let me join them. Everything felt so massive and magical, but I guess everything should that young. Going back I had a certain vision in mind and was completely caught off guard by reality. Yoga4dogs.com Website
The drive from the Long Beach Airport to the hotel in which I was staying was a little rough to say the least. I was traveling alone, I didn’t even have Rayless, and so even just stopping at certain stop lights made me a little nervous, I guess this is how personal growth happens. Luckily I soon came to the street where I needed to turn and before my eyes laid a beautiful marina! The farther I drove the more I saw how amazing these yachts and sailboats really were. There was a marina park and even a lagoon where kids were playing and running across bridges. I was very happy with this surprise and literally turn for the better! This night was great, I settled into my hotel and walked over to the Pine Ave Pier where I had fresh sushi and enjoyed a beautiful sunset, peaceful bliss. Later that evening I met up with some new friends that I am starting to work with on a couple new projects. We went out to a fabulous dinner and managed to get lost a few times ha ha!
Sunday
Today I am doing a Yoga4Dogs class at the 2010 Walk/Run for Animals. It’s an annual event that Long Beach holds where proceeds are donated to help local shelters and rescues. The day was perfect, about 75 degrees and the event was full of avid animal lovers ready to tackle the walk/run with their pooches by their sides.

The feeling of being able to share a new spin on how to get people and their pets healthy while promoting shelters is a gratification I will never be able to explain. The event ended early, it is football season after all, and I managed to see the Cardinals win the first game of the season as I waited to board my plane. What a terrific ending to a short yet sweet weekend trip!
