We came, we saw, we got our asses kicked—and it hurt so good. Last night, Racked Fit Club ventured to Silver Lake to take in a class at LA's top-voted yoga studio, One Down Dog. As expected, the cardio-driven practice was nothing like the slow-paced moves we're used to experiencing at other places of "Om," allowing us to get a truly sweaty workout in before tonight's Valentine's Day festivities.
After taking in founder/instructor Jessica Rosen's music-infused yoga flows and motivational words (when a move was particularly hard, she whispered, "In the middle of difficult lies opportunity"), we joined One Down Dog's adorable mascot Patrick the Dog in the lobby. There we tasted an array of ice-cold refreshments by DTLA's Juicelove and shopped the studio's mini boutique filled with workout gear and yoga essentials. We'll definitely be back!
