Rooftop Yoga

Despite the threat of rain, I ventured to Whole Foods Lincoln Park tonight for a little rooftop yoga.  The event was hosted by the lululemon athletica in Lincoln Park and lots of other yummy vendors like Honest  Tea (Honest Tea-Honesty, get it?  I love it).  The weather held off so myself and 170 other yoga enthusiasts got our downdog on just as the sun set.

Have I ever mentioned my deeply rooted love for the Whole Foods in Lincoln Park?  Mind you, there is a Whole Foods downtown crawling with the most attractive 20-somethings you will ever see (note to single Chicagoans: go to the Whole Foods on Huron).   But Whole Foods Lincoln Park is an experience.  First off, it’s freakin’ huge.   I’m not sure how big but it’s big, man.  And in addition to lovely things like seafood soup bar, olive bar, trail mix bar and bath salts bar, there are actual bar bars in it.  A bar that has fantastic beer from micro-breweries and a wine bar to have a seat at to listen to whatever jazz trio is likely playing on any given night.  I’ve been known to suggest going to this Whole Foods like an event.  The night before Thanksgiving when my mom gets to Chicago, I suggest a little trip to Whole Foods.  Most people would have taken their mom to dinner or a play.  Not me–we go to the wine bar in a grocery store.  Man-Friend and I have had many a date night sharing a beer as we walk through the aisles, carefully selecting the dinner we will devour while listening to whatever guitar/cello/sitar player happens to be plucking their strings in the lobby area.  It’s the stuff romance is made out of, I tell ya.

Back to the yoga.

It was fabulous, it was a  gorgeous night, I caught up with a good friend and I  got to lay in savasana while looking at a clear blue sky.  Perfection.
