Vinyasa, wine and cheese
To celebrate the rebranding of Culver City’s Goda Yoga as SoulPlay Yoga, new owner Nathania Stambouli is opening her doors to a free hour-long vinyasa class Saturday, Aug. 5, followed by a wine-and-cheese party.
Stambouli, a yoga instructor who also leads international retreats, says she’s making a few changes to the popular studio: Among the revamped offerings are the trademarked BandzYoga class, which combines the ancient practice with resistance training. On Friday nights, there will also be a session dedicated to handstands.
“It’s a full hour dedicated to getting people upside down,” said Stambouli, adding that while the class is for all levels, participants would need some upper body strength. “We want to offer classes different from what you see in the Los Angeles yoga scene.” Info: The free class takes place at 3:30 p.m. on Aug. 5. Participants are invited to stay on for a paid two-hour Yin Yoga and Gong Bath event starting at 6:30 p.m. Single classes start at $12.50, unlimited classes are $135 a month.
