Summer Events at Ra Yoga

West Oceanfront Editors

In case you forgot, we’re big fans of Ra Yoga. (We interviewed co-owners Robert Kittleman and Jenny Vande Hei on the studio’s two-year anniversary.) And really, we’re just big fans of yoga in general. It’s calming, restorative, non-judgmental and all the things you need it to be amid the chaos of a chaotic world.

If you’re looking to dive into a downward dog this summer—or simply want to see what the whole yoga thing is about—Ra Yoga is hosting some awesome workshops and events at its Newport Beach and Costa Mesa locations:
