This one Saturday afternoon with my family what would have been my simple in & out in less than 30 minutes turned into a full on shopping marathon. I normally would not have mind but now I have a game changer, a 2 month old son I breastfeed. I didn't feel as comfortable in this area whipping out the milk goods, so I decided I would just head back to the car and nurse him while my family still shopped. I'm strolling my way back to our car when I noticed the woman's restroom and decided to get a diaper change in first. At first I was waiting in the line for the family restroom but that was taking far too long, so I ventured into the woman's room when that's when it happened.. the aaaaahhh moment for breast feeding moms everywhere, I present to you the Mothers Lounge. It's not hard to miss , as soon as you enter the woman's restroom doors you'll see to the right two frosted glass panels and beyond those panels you will find lounge chairs and couches to make yourself more than comfortable to nurse your child. I set up shop and we where good to go, I did however get a stare or two because I wasn't completely covered up but I was there for what the room was intended for and they where there to rest and talk on their cell phones.

If you look up the benefits of salt rooms, you'll find plenty, and you can genuinely feel them while you're there.

People's Yoga in Monterey Park (near ELAC) exceeds my wildest dreams. This single studio with wooden-floors and plants is homey and yet located on the second floor of a plaza and across from the metro station (Atlantic stop). It's truly a delight - not to mention the one and only Latina-owned yoga studio is the area (if not LA?). My favorite class is "Body Soft" on Thursday nights at 7pm with Diane. This class is for those that want to ease into yoga (a.k.a. Beginners) or those who need to chill from a long work week. But...please don't meditate into sleep. Yes, rarely does snorting ensue. On-site parking is available and the studio provides all the equipment and even water, just bring your own water bottle. Pre-registration is recommended as the studio only accommodates so many people. If the single class price is steep for your budget, check out their packages as they offer a built-in discount. Also, first timers can try out a monthly on a discount. For the yogis or yogis in training, you may be interested in their training program. Personally, I'm not a fan of virtual movement classes because I prefer to be in-person, but for those on a shoe string budget that may an option. Either way, I LOVE People's Yoga! Shout out to Leah and Lauren, co-founders, Latina mama business owners, and yoga instructors. Their dream to open this brick and mortar became a reality years ago and has been going strong for years.

Peoples Yoga was the first and is still one of the only yoga studios in East LA and that something to be proud of. The classes are high quality and professional. They are masters of their craft and you can tell. They have varying levels of difficulty so there is something here for everyone. As a man who thought he was strong enough and needed something pretty advanced I quickly realized I was a beginner lol. Truth is yoga is something that is true core strength combined with mobility. So I felt the challenge! But, the beginner classes are great for people who need a more approachable starting point. I also very much enjoy the meditative and holistic approach to classes. Every class I have attended had some challenge and made you sweat a bit, but also had a calming meditative portion that leaves you feeling centered and in touch with your inner spirit. Overall, I highly recommend this yoga studio. They are a true gem in our community.

When we first started we saw her nearly every 2 weeks but now it's about once a month. We have been extremely busy but still want to make the attempt to see her at least monthly. She is very accommodating and understanding of our situation. She is very welcoming. The safe place is in the room which she is always reminds us and I appreciate that. I really appreciate her for not judging me or my husband. She listens to us and addresses the issues. We're both comfortable talking to her. It helps that my husband is open to it and more than willing to continue the sessions with me so long as I need it. America is very supportive of us. The price is quite reasonable for a 90-minute session. She has weekend (Saturday) available which is extremely helpful since my husband and I are busy throughout the week days. There's only really street parking. When it's busy you may have to park further up the street but the walk isn't terrible.
