Herringbone La Jolla to host ‘Yoga under the Olive Trees’
On Sunday, Sept. 30, Herringbone has partnered up with Lululemon La Jolla for a relaxing Sunday morning yoga session from 8:30 to 9:15 a.m. There is no better place to “namaste” than underneath the 100-year-old olive trees especially when the session is followed by brunch. Post-yoga-session enjoy a complimentary glass of bubbles or non-alcoholic beverage of choice paired with a two-course brunch menu full of all the sweet and savory classics. You will want to refuel with a refreshing glass of champagne and dishes like Soft Shell Crab Benedict, Pecan Sticky Bun, or the signature Lobster Roll. Grab your mat, come hungry, and be sure to stretch into your Sunday with good vibes that will get you through the whole week.
The yoga class and two-course brunch is $45 and tickets can be found at hakkasangroup.com/store/las-vegas/event/151347. Cove relay needs volunteers
