Creating a Lifestyle and your dream job!

I am so glad summer is here, I take a half hour sunbathe every day, it is like being on vacation and it takes just a minute to be at the waters edge. It takes all of a minute as it is a wide stretch of sand! People wonder how I can work 7 days a week from 10am-9pm? The answer is I created a lifestyle that works for me, the spa I own and created is steps from the beach and every little area around Creative Chakra http://www.creativechakra.com, is enticing to me! Heck, yes, I know it is for the clients, that is why you have a business but hey when it is so slow, I AM the spa client, I treat myself to facials and mudwraps.

I eat lunch on the lanai or on the ocean porch swing looking at the smooth ripples on the pacific ocean...I would just dream to be able to do this and I am doing this! Once, I took a low paying massage job at a spa just because it was by the ocean (it wasn't this close, I had to roller-blade to it!) and therefore conducive to my lifestyle but I found out..it was not to my pocket! Create and environment for your life, your dreams and your pocket.

I love the morning, I do yoga in the beautiful zen studio or on the oceanfront sometimes with my assistant, sometimes with a coffee (shh, I shouldn't true yogis don't do that yet I do, its' the morning!) and you can bet, our work day rocks after that. Yoga is so centering and the breathing energizes you, really focused day of work and not only that you just keep knocking out each task flowing from one to the next. The best health insurance, for sure, as I don't have any.

If I didn't work for myself, I would have to save up and go to a spa or a yoga studio, not only that, I would have to get in the car and drive there (not green!) and have to take a guilty day off work so yes, this is the dream job and this is only the icing on the cake.

Celebrity Spa Soiree at Creative Chakra Spa with Vibe Holistic and Yoga Month

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

VibeHolistic and Yoga Month Promote Healthy Living to People of Color
Los Angeles –June 18, 2008 – VibeHolistic has teamed up with Yoga Health Foundation to promote healthy living to people of color during Yoga Month 09.2008, an awareness campaign to inspire a healthy and informed lifestyle. A Spa Soiree on June 25th catering to black and Hispanic leaders will launch the partnership.
The Yoga Health Foundation, a nonprofit organization based in Los Angeles, has partnered with VibeHolistic in an effort to promote holistic living to people of color during Yoga Month 09.2008. The Yoga Health Foundation stresses health prevention and holistic practices that complement traditional medicine. With this in mind, VibeHolistic, an empowerment company co-founded by two women of color, is taking the message of preventative and holistic living to ethnic communities throughout Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, and New York.
Founded by Kourtney Ketterhagen and Subhadra Bowman, VibeHolistic’s mission is to provide people of color with knowledge in the areas of yoga and holistic health. Through empowerment events that take place at beauty salons, barber shops, churches, and community centers, VibeHolistic arms attendees with information that can reform eating habits, sedentary behavior, and negative states of mind. Highlighting inexpensive and ubiquitous items and techniques, VibeHolistic demonstrates to people of color simple ways to transform their health and, consequently, their lives.
In celebration of Yoga Month and its 10 City Yoga Health Festival Tour in September, VibeHolistic will set up booths at each of the ten festivals. These booths will highlight healthy and holistic choices widely available within ethnic communities.
In addition, a series of community building events will be hosted by VibeHolistic and the Yoga Health Foundation in an attempt to mobilize people of color to reap the benefits of upcoming Yoga Month activities. A Spa Soiree on June 25th in Marina Del Ray, CA, will be the first event in this series. Held at the Creative Chakra Spa, the Spa Soiree will be hosted by hip hop pioneer Fab 5 Freddy and will cater to celebrated leaders within black and Hispanic communities. Guests will be pampered from head to toe with the latest holistic products, foods, and fitness techniques. Leaders in attendance will be charged with motivating members of their communities to use these natural products and techniques in preparation for Yoga Month. According to Johannes Fisslinger, President of the Yoga Health Foundation, “The Spa Soiree and other community building events are wonderful tools to empower leaders to go back to their communities and become agents of change for healthy and informed living.”
VibeHolistic Spa Soiree invited guests include: Don Cheadle, Halle Berry, Russell Simmons, Regina King, Vivica A. Fox, Laila Ali, Amos Lee, Malik Yoba, Wesley Jonathan, Dorian Harwood , Maurice Green, Bill Bellamy.
Yoga Journal, Omega Institute, and Yogaworks are just a few of the supporters on board to honor VibeHolistic’s community outreach efforts. “There is ample scientific evidence that yoga helps lower blood pressure, increases cardiovascular health, and helps people lose weight,” says Kaitlin Quistgaard, Yoga Journal’s editor in chief. “We are proud to partner with VibeHolistic to spread the power of yoga to the black and Hispanic communities.” Fab 5 Freddy also stands behind VibeHolistic and views it as, “A new movement that will change the game for those like myself who live the modern urban lifestyle. VibeHolistic and Yoga Month will show us how to enter the world of healthy, green, and holistic living.”
