LOS ANGELES, CA AUG. 3, 2016 - Bogdan Bikish practices yoga on the beach July 30, 2016. On any given Saturday morning at 9:30AM a diverse group of people gather on the beach off Hurricane Street in Marina del Rey to practice the ancient discipline of yoga. The class begins and ends with meditation to the sounds of surf crashing against the shore, the occasional fly over by a sheriff’s helicopter and beachgoers looking on. Bunok Kravitz, aka the Yoga Bunny (www.TheYogaBunny.com), leads the free class which at times has grown to over fifty students. In its third decade, Beach Yoga attracts an eclectic group of people with diverse abilities from all over the world. Unlike a yoga room, there is plenty of space to stretch out. Most bring a blanket or sheet to cover the sand, then place their yoga mat on top. It’s geared towards those who enjoy the wide open outdoors and don’t mind a little sand.(Barbara Davidson/Los Angeles Times)
