Green Wave "Green Heart Eco-Yoga Day"
On Sunday, February 8th 2009, Green Wave Enterprises will host Los Angeles' first annual Green Wave Green Heart Eco-Party, to honor International Yoga Day. The event will be hosted by Janine Johnson, Founder of Green Wave Enterprises LLC, a peace and environmental non-profit organization, at the Strawberry House in Encino, one of the most exclusive celebrity enclaves in the Encino Hills.
The theme of the night will be "living in harmony with our environment, starting with ourselves." The event will include live classes, spin, yoga and pilates studios from around Los Angeles, speakers and special guest appearances as well as eco-friendly food and drinks and spa-facials. Visitors will be encouraged to "grow their heart green with yoga."
10am - 4pm
$20 all-day access
Classes will be held outside, at the Strawberry House's zen-like pool area, with a view of the entire San Fernando Valley.
Showcase yoga from the following:
Lotus Kitty Spin and Yoga
Bikram yoga
Crystal Yoga and Pilates
Karen Schuman's Beyond Yoga
Special guest appearance from Bindi Morrish of the Anahata practice in San Diego. (Anahata is a heart centered yoga practice that Janine has studied and teaches as well.)
The event will also feature speaking sessions from visionary leaders within the green and peace movements:

Lluvia skin care Mini-facials will be provided by Deborah Kramer from Amazon Herb Co. In addition, complimentary filtered and ionized water will be made available to attendees thanks to Thai of Life Ionizers and RawfoodPeople.com.
"I envision this event to have flow. People in and out throughout the day, dropping in to take a class or two, listen to a speaker, visit the eco-vendors," said Green Wave founder Janine Johnson. "I want people to be on the floor mainly though socializing in circles on their yoga mats, drinking tea, coming up with ideas on how to make an impact in their own lives and in the world."
Tickets are available for purchase on brownpapertickets.com, a company that gives back to fair trade organizations.
Please bring your own mats and reusable water bottles although both will be available for purchase at the event. Janine hopes this event will be a day of peace, centering, education, and shift of consciousness and habit or the individuals in attendance and hopefully a spawn of inspired activism. Proceeds of the event will go toward Green Wave's green education initiative for green curriculums in pre-K schools, with a special donation made to Escuela Camino Claro, the first school in Costa Rica where Green Wave will be rolling out its green program, followed by the local Los Angeles communities.
About Green Wave LLC:
Green Wave is a grassroots environmental and peace non-profit created to fund green development and education initiatives. Janine, who is also a Green Girl Guru for TheGreenGirls.com, believes that the essence of yoga and environmentalism go hand in hand, and knows that in order to care for the environment, you must care about yourself first. As a result, a natural extension of yourself to the environment will occur, and can be cultivated through consistent yogic practices.
