We’re privileged enough to live in LA, where fitness is a priority and there are plenty of fitness events for those looking for cool ways to stay active. Even better, a lot of these events are free! This weekend, I was fortunate enough to train with two celeb fitness instructors (post on the second session to follow) and had a great time with both.

This morning’s session was with celebrity trainer Juliet Kaska, whose clients include Karlie Kloss and Kerry Washington. It was my first time doing yoga on the Santa Monica Pier and it was definitely a nice change of scenery! The event was hosted by Vionic Shoes and Lorna Jane Activewear, and Juliet did a good job of balancing the workout between brand new yogis and more seasoned vets. Early birds were gifted a pair of flip flops by Vionic shoes and everyone was treated to some snacks after class. The class itself was pretty zen, and a great way to start a Sunday! Juliet also has a pilates studio that is on ClassPass called JK Zen Pilates, and after this morning’s session, I’ll be sure to go check out one of the pilates classes at her studio.
