"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.
Support for LAist comes from
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.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
