Clean beach, clear mind

Want to start the weekend on a positive note? Join a beach cleanup in Venice and you’ll be rewarded—not only with the satisfaction of environmental stewardship but with free yoga and tai chi lessons, too.

The lessons will be provided by Heal One World, a nonprofit group that offers non-traditional and preventative healthcare at low or no cost. For this cleanup the organization will team up with Heal the Bay, which will handle the beach clean-up logistics, and Venice Family Clinic, which partners with Heal One World in providing health services.

If you want to participate, show up at the Rose Avenue entrance to Venice Beach this Saturday, October 22, at 9 a.m., and register for the clean-up. Bags and gloves will be provided, but you can help cut down on waste by bringing your own gloves, and a bag or bucket from home. In addition, you should bring a yoga mat, appropriate clothing and ample drinking water. The yoga and tai chi instruction begins at 10 a.m.
