"Every time I strike a yoga pose it brings me closer to the next home run." — Babe Ruth

Yoga and baseball go together like hand and glove, like peanuts and Crackerjacks, like... wait, what? Take a look at the physiques and overall health of ballplayers throughout history, and it's clear they've been as dedicated to their Bikram yoga classes as they have been to quitting chewing tobacco and just having, say, 2 light beers a week, with dinner.

Ah, but the era is new, and on Sunday September 20th, the L.A. Dodgers are hosting their 2nd Yoga Day at Dodger Stadium. This ticket pack (which costs $38 to $82) will include a ticket to the game (against the Pirates), a Dodger Yoga mat, and post-game yoga session on Dodger Stadium's Field.

POST-GAME. After you drink the beer and eat the nachos out of the plastic helmet, like a respectable American. Yeah... that's probably where this waiver comes in.

One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere. LAist is now 100% community funded and that means we’re taking our future into our own hands and turning to you to keep local reporting strong.

You come to LAist because you want independent reporting and trustworthy local information. Our nonprofit newsroom doesn’t answer to shareholders looking to turn a profit. Instead, we answer to you and our communities. We are free to follow facts wherever they lead and to hold power to account without fear or favor. Our only loyalty is to our readers and listeners and our mission: to inform, engage, and strengthen Southern California’s communities.
