OUR STORY
We started out with a belief that yoga can transform you—on and off the mat.
When a severe climbing accident left him with six permanent screws in his shattered ankle, CorePower Yoga Founder and CEO Trevor Tice experienced first-hand the transformational benefits of yoga. An avid outdoorsman from Telluride, CO, Trevor was left searching for an exercise to replace the running, climbing, and other physically challenging activities that were no longer accessible to him. He found yoga and was hooked.
Traveling for his technology business, Trevor practiced various yoga disciplines at yoga studios across the country and found an opportunity to make yoga dynamic, challenging, and convenient.
In 2002, Trevor opened the first CorePower Yoga studio on Grant Street in downtown Denver, CO, offering a proprietary form of athletic, heated yoga in modern, welcoming, spa-like studios. With six teachers, including Trevor, teaching four classes per day, it took several arduous months before classes began to fill up. But they did. And it wasn’t long before people were talking about this new yoga.

OUR MISSION

To show the world the incredible life-changing things that happen when you root for an intensely physical workout in the mindfulness of yoga.

6 Cognitive Benefits of VR For Kids

Research indicates that kids who play VR games that focus on training the brain have better fine motor skills and balance. In fact, they tend to have better mobility overall.
VR gaming improves spatial attention in children and gives them the ability to quickly locate a target in a field of distractors, which has proven to be a good predictor of driving ability.
Playing VR games, which often resemble actual real-world experiences, helps children translate the skills they learned in these educational VR environments to the real world.
According to recent research, children that play shooting games have increased vision capabilities. Scientists have found that the fast-paced games increase adrenaline and dopamine in the brain which helps maintain and improve brain health.
VR gaming increases mental flexibility and improves a child’s ability to quickly switch seamlessly between tasks with conflicting demands.
VR games are a great way to reduce stress and depression in children. Immersing in a VR game can result in short and long-term mood boost that helps them relax and unwind, decreasing the levels of stress a person may be experiencing.

Come to The Inglewood Public Library and “check out” their new selection of video games, for Playstation 4, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One, that you can borrow, just like you would borrow a book?

California African American Museum (CAAM) Temporarily Closed For Repair
2024-10-16 10:00 - 17:00 | California African American Museum, 600 State Drive, Los Angeles, CA, 90037, United States
California African American Museum (CAAM) Temporarily Closed For Repair
FREE! TUES – SUNDAY- Exposition Park
The California African American Museum (CAAM) focuses on enrichment and education on the cultural heritage and history of African Americans with a focus on California and western United States.
Admission is free to all visitors. The California African American Museum’s mission is to research, collect, preserve, and interpret for public enrichment the history, art, and culture of African Americans with an emphasis on California and the western United States.

California African American Museum (CAAM) Temporarily Closed For Repair

CAAM’s permanent collection consists of over 4,000 objects ranging from the 1800s to the present. It encompasses paintings, photographs, film, sculpture, historical documents, and artifacts, and it spans nineteenth-century landscape paintings to modern artworks to contemporary mixed-media reflections on cultural and political events.

The Museum’s first acquisitions included a bronze bust of civil rights activist Dr. Mary Mcleod Bethune by artist Richmond Barthé and a sculpture by artist Maren Hassinger, then at the start of her career. These laid the perfect groundwork for CAAM’s mandate to assemble a comprehensive, thoughtful, and wide-reaching collection.

CAAM’s deepest holdings include art made or connected to African Americans in California and the western United States. However, the Museum also has significant works of contemporary art from the African diaspora (including Haiti, Brazil, and Jamaica), as well as traditional African art from Western, Central, and Sub-Saharan Africa. CAAM aims to represent the diverse contributions of African Americans in the United States, but also to interpret how the past has affected identity in the present.
California African American Museum (CAAM) Temporarily Closed For Repair
Today, CAAM oversees, exhibits, and conserves a rapidly growing collection. Each quarter, curators review the current holdings and decide as a committee on future acquisitions. We view our collection as a living body — constantly evolving, growing, and reflecting the world in which we live.

Some examples of CAAM’s collection include the Walter Burrell Collection of audio recordings of Burrell’s interviews with African American celebrities, broadcast by a local radio station in the early 1970s; the oral histories of Celes King, who was both a local civil rights activist as well as a former Tuskegee airman; and selections from the collection of visual artist John Outterbridge.

Hours
Tuesdays – Saturdays: 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
Sundays: 11:00 a.m.-5:00p.m.
Mondays: Closed

FREE EVERY DAY! @ UCLA
The Fowler Museum at UCLA explores global arts and cultures with an emphasis on works from Africa, Asia, the Pacific, and the Americas—past and present. The Fowler enhances understanding and appreciation of the diverse peoples, cultures, and religions of the world through dynamic exhibitions, publications, and public programs, informed by interdisciplinary approaches and the perspectives of the cultures represented.
Also featured is the work of international contemporary artists presented within the complex frameworks of politics, culture and social action.
Fowler Museum at UCLA provides exciting, informative and thought-provoking exhibitions and events for the UCLA community and the people of greater Los Angeles and beyond.

﻿

Areas of the Collection

ARTS OF AFRICA AND THE AFRICAN DIASPORA

One of the largest and finest in the United States, and one of the top twenty African collections worldwide, this collection offers a superb representation of the arts of many African nations, including objects from Senegal, Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaire), Kenya, Zambia, and South Africa. The Yoruba collection alone is one of the three finest in the world. It contains a spectacular array of beaded objects, including a majestic throne, elaborate chiefly gowns, and sophisticated divination regalia.
A collection of post-apartheid election materials and contemporary South African art is being developed, as are a number of collections of popular urban arts from countries including Tanzania and Muslim Senegal. Recently, more than 400 textiles made by the Kuba peoples of the Democratic Republic of the Congo were gifted by the Christensen Foundation.
The collection represents some of the finest examples of men’s embroidered raffia pile cloths and women’s appliqué cloths. This collection complements already significant holdings of West African textiles from countries such as Mali and Ghana, including kente and adinkra cloth and Asafo flags. The museum also has significant holdings of arts from the African Americas, notably arts of Haitian Vodou, Brazil and Suriname.

ARTS OF THE AMERICAS

These holdings include a comprehensive collection of pre-Columbian ceramics with the best representations from West Mexico, the Valley of Mexico, and pre-Columbian Peru (with special strengths in the art of the Moche). The Fowler also possesses a cohesive collection of Guatemalan costumes; an extensive collection of Mexican clothing; textiles of Peru; and a comprehensive representation of field-collected market materials from Michoacan, Mexico. Complementing the pre-Columbian collections are field collections of the Warao and Yecuana Indians of the Orinoco Delta of Venezuela and contemporary Latin American popular arts including Mexican trees of life, Day of the Dead figures, and masks from Metepec, Oaxaca, Michoacan, Jalisco, Peubla, and Guanajuato.
Native American materials from the U.S. and Canada are a small but significant part of the collection. Materials from the United States and Canada include well-known Northwest Coast material, as well as a notable cross section of late nineteenth-century Inuit art and material culture.

ARTS OF ASIA AND THE PACIFIC

The Fowler Museum at UCLA collections from Insular Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, and aboriginal Taiwan, are among the strongest in the United States. The Indonesian and Philippine textiles reinforce the Fowler Museum’s standing as a major repository for the textile arts. Also included are significant collections of sculptural material from Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi, and Luzon, puppetry from Java and Bali, basketry from Indonesia and Philippines, and metalwork from the Philippines. The primary strength of the Pacific collections lies in materials from Papua New Guinea, especially the Papuan Gulf, Trobriand Islands, Sepik River, and Maprik region. Australia and Polynesia are also represented by sizeable collections, including 45 rare Maori cloaks.
The collections from mainland Asia are smaller but growing rapidly, due to current collecting priorities. A collection of betel-chewing paraphernalia, representing several countries in South and Southeast Asia, is considered one of the finest in the world. Other holdings include textiles from Bhutan, Pakistan, India and Japan, baskets and decorative arts from Japan, puppetry from China, Thailand, India, and Turkey, and art and artifacts from Nepal.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL COLLECTIONS

The Fowler Museum at UCLA also serves as a repository for archaeological collections acquired during research conducted by UCLA faculty, staff, students, and other professional archaeologists. Documentation of the collections includes artifact catalogs, excavation notes, maps, and photographs. These collections serve primarily as an archive for teaching and research. The Museum is compliant with guidelines mandates by the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) and has been signaled out by the State of California for its exemplary efforts.
Archaeological collection areas include:
California
Collections from approximately 1100 sites, mostly in Southern California.
Southwest
Significant collections from the Rainbow Bridge-Monument Valley Expedition of 1933-1938 and several Parowan Fremont sites in Utah excavated in the 1950’s, and other Anasazi and Hohokam sites.
Mexico
Includes objects from 218 sites, mostly in western and central Mexico.
Sudan
The Nubian/Egyptian fortress site at Askut is the source of approximately 60,000 artifacts excavated by UCLA archaeologist Alexander Badawy in conjunction with the Aswan High Dam Salvage Campaign, 1962-1964.
Old World stone tool collection
Includes tools from Europe and the Middle East.

Burton W. Chace Park
was first opened in 1972 at 13650 Mindanao Way in Marina del Rey, California and was named in honor of the Father of the Marina and long-time Los Angeles County Supervisor, Burton W. Chace. The Park hours are from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm 7 days a week while the Office hours are from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm 7 days a week. Burton W. Chace Park offers multi-purpose rooms, picnic tables, barbecues, pergolas, picnic shelters, outdoor programs, great harbor viewing areas, guest docks, and is host to numerous year-round events. Admission is free. The Marina del Rey water bus offers rides around the Marina for $1.00. There are always a number of Events going on in the Park throughout the year, including the Discover Marina del Rey Day where you can meet the Chace Family the first Sunday of each October.

The Park has a Community Room for which reservations may be made for your community event and great outdoor facilities. This web site was established by the Chace Family as a resource on the history of the Park, Burton W. Chace’s many accomplishments and contributions to the County of Los Angeles, and a place where you may enjoy photos of the lovely Park and find detailed news on Events and the future of this wonderful Park.
Burton W. Chace Park: 10 acres of lush lawn and trees extend into the Marina’s main channel offering magnificent boat and ocean vistas. Built-in barbecue grills and tables invite picnicing. The free outdoor summer concerts run from July through September each year on Thursday and Saturday nights.
If you are into cycling, the Park is located on the South Bay Bicycle Trail which spans from Will Rogers State Beach to the north in Pacific Palisades to Torrance County Beach in the South at the base of the Palos Verdes Peninsula and the Park is located about halfway between the two points making it an ideal stop along the way.
Burton W. Chace Park has been the site of many weddings, scenes on television shows including the OC, and is home to a wealth of community events throughout the year. The Park office displays historical photographs of Santa Monica, Playa del Rey, and the canals of Venice in 1905, when they were new. There is an excellent history of Marina del Rey on the VisitMarinadelRey.com web site, and well as history section on this site. We invite you to come experience this wonderful park for yourself sometime soon!

COME LIGHT UP THE NIGHT
2024-10-16 18:00 - 23:00 | South Beach Park, 3400 Barnard Way, Santa Monica, CA, 90401, United States
EVERY WEDNESDAY NIGHT @ South Beach Park in Santa Monica.
Glow Flow at Santa Monica’s South Beach, is a night time event, that turns the beach into a playground of light. Local artists spin various lighted objects to create one of a kind moments of kinetic art. A fantastic group of artists & dancers who work with LED Hula Hoops and other LED apparatus they can spin, toss, throw in the air, etc.

Very friendly and talented peeps.

Celebrating our love of the FLOW at Glow Flow Santa Monica!

How to Capture the Glow Flow Moment
If spin isn’t your thing, how about photography. Here are different ways to shoot Glow Flow Santa Monica.
GOLDEN HOUR / BLUE HOUR
You can shoot available light for images of the artists.
SLOW SHUTTER SPEED
As Glow Flow gets dark, you can use a slow shutter speed to let the moving LED devices draw amazing “spirograph” shapes with light against the night sky.
SLOW SYNC
You can combine both elements with slow sync or rear sync. A long shutter speed captures traces from LED Hula Hoops and then your on-or-off-camera flash lights the artist.
THE BEST FLASH?
I haven’t had the best results with built-in pop-up flash. I like using an external flash in the hot-shoe. At Glow Flow, We often say that having flash off the hot-shoe produces better lighting. For me, in this case, I think there’s so much going on, that hot-shoe mounted flash works well. You could bring a light stand and battery powered strobe which might look great but seems like a lot of gear.
TRIPOD?
If you use flash, it will freeze the artist, and the point-light-sources of the LEDs effectively freeze themselves, so you can shoot this handheld. However, you will get crisper images if you use a tripod.
BRACKET, BRACKET, BRACKET!
As you can imagine, dialing in your exposure can be a bit complicated! Plan to try a variety of different shutter speeds to see what works with the LEDs. And different flash intensities to balance the illumination on the artist with the LED traces.

South Beach Park
is located at 110 Pier Ave, on the border between Venice Beach and Santa Monica.

A Creative Celebration

ArtBarLA, located in Mar Vista, is a space that showcases the work of all types of creatives. It is the best of what the Los Angeles art world has to offer. The artwork accepted into our monthly group shows is solely based on the quality of work rather than the artists’ exhibit and sales history. This allows us to introduce new and under exposed talent. Because we cater to an over 21 audience, artists are allowed to express themselves freely without the threat of censorship. Our outside murals will be changed out approximately every six months and our patrons will also be entertained by live painters.

Having a stage opens up the range of artistic expression even further. In addition to the visual arts, the stage will provide anything from performance art, bands and DJ’s to over the top shows from burlesque to magic and beyond. We will also host artists talks as ArtBarLA is a gathering place for the community, innovators and free thinkers in the art world. ArtBarLA is an open space for open minds. This sense of openness and innovation will bring something to the art world Los Angeles has yet to experience.
ArtBarLA is a delight to the senses,
not limited to sight and sound, but taste as well. We have partnered with local breweries to provide fine artisan craft beers which can be consumed straight from the tap or bottle or enjoyed in a tasty beer cocktail. All beverages will be savored in our unique setting. Guests can sit back and relax in our whimsical bar and lounge area. Every piece of eclectic furniture has been carefully curated to provide a fun, playful experience.

Filipino food has been championed as “the next big thing” for years now by chefs, authors, and TV hosts — which, dirty little secret, just means that it’s the next cuisine to get elevated and sold at a high price. Declaring a culture’s food as the haute new ticket, as a lot of Filipino chefs will tell you, is usually hasty and reductive. While it’s undeniable to ignore the trendy appeal of dishes like pork sisig and oxtail kare kare, it’s also interesting that Filipino food exists in this curious grey area where it’s being elevated before most people have even grasped the traditional concepts and flavors.

Leonard Smith Jr is a stand-up comedian, actor, and improviser based in Los Angeles.

He surprised those who knew him when he left Atlanta in 2016 to head west. They knew his love for lemon pepper wings and 24-hour access to ass shaking was unmeasurable. If he was gonna leave that, he meant business, and he did. He’s since performed sketch, improv, and stand-up all over the country. A former UCB program graduate and house team member. He is the creator of the improv group “Lemon Pepper Wet” which has been invited to the Atlanta Improv Festival, SF Sketchfest, and the World Comedy Expo Festival in Chicago.

You can find his podcast Film Vs Film on all podcast platforms.

Barney’s Beanery, 99 East Colorado Boulevard, Pasadena, CA 91105
Barney’s Beanery is a full-service bar/restaurant with a history in LA going back almost 100 years. We’ve grown over the years, from a small chili cafe in West Hollywood to a multi-unit staple of the Los Angeles restaurant scene. We serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner from morning to midnight and offer a full bar with over 40 beers on draft. The scene at Barney’s is casual and raucous, a rockin’ fun restaurant for groups small and large.
Barney’s is also a fantastic place to watch your favorite sporting event, play pub-style trivia with friends, or sing some karaoke late-nights. No reservations necessary, come see us in Santa Monica, Pasadena, Burbank, Westwood Village, Redondo Beach, and of course, our original location in West Hollywood.
Barney’s Beanery opened in West Hollywood in 1920 and very quickly established itself as a fixture in Los Angeles with a history and a following that is unmatched. The last decade has brought on new locations to serve all our great customers, while still keeping stride with the rich history and people that got us here.
