Trendy LA Workouts

If you haven't heard the horrible news, Runyon Canyon will be closing down for four months starting in April. It's devastating, I know. According to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, the beloved trail is closing down for an aging six inch water main that stretches a mile through the park. All but the yoga field will be closed for four months. The question arises: what other Instagram-worthy, trendy LA workout will replace the your weekly hike? Here are some new workouts to get you through the summer while Runyon is closed.

Y7 Studio

"A Tribe Called Sweat"

Y7 Studio, a Brooklyn-based, hip-hop Vinyasa flow studio, is a new type of yoga experience. The studio asks that you "step outside the chaos and embrace the fire inside." Y7 yoga is set to Hip Hop music in candlelit classes. There are no mirrors and the classes are heated to a balmy 80-90 degrees. Y7 is "The Powerful Yoga You Want, The Sweat You Need, The Music You Love" with two goals in mind: strengthen your body and balance your mind. Although the classes are heated and challenging, Y7 welcomes all levels only asking that you bring and open mind and good vibes only. There is currently only one Los Angeles location in West Hollywood but it's definitely worth trying whether you are a beginner or an advanced yogi.

SoulCycle

"Find Your Soul"

Odds are you have already tried SoulCycle at least once because it blew up as the latest workout trend after its inception in 2005. SoulCycle's founders Elizabeth Cutler and Julie Rice envisioned an alternative type of fitness routine. SoulCycle is an "inspirational, meditative fitness experience that’s designed to benefit the body, mind and soul." Classes are 45 minutes and are set in dark, candlelit studios set to high-energy music. Instructors have incredibly loyal followings and SoulCycle has studios located all over LA from Malibu to Manhattan Beach.

Barry's Bootcamp

"The Best Workout In The World"

Barry's Bootcamp is a unique fitness class with a loyal following. The studios have expanded all over Los Angeles and include frequent visits by celebrity clients like Kim Kardashian. Barry Jay, founder of Barry's Bootcamp, first started training in West Hollywood and has built a fitness empire with his signature workouts. Each day the studios focus on training a different part of the body. The hour long workouts include 25-30 minutes of interval cardio treadmill routines and 25-30 minutes of strength training utilizing free weights, resistance bands, medicine balls and other equipment. The music is loud, the lights are low and motivation is high with specially trained instructors to guide you through your workout.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
