As most Yoga goers know, not all Yoga is good Yoga. That’s why I had to write something positive about Power Yoga in Calabasas on Mulholland Hwy. Calabasas Power Yoga is derived from the vinyasa flow of ashtanga yoga practice. And with the help of instructor Jill Kennedy, this is an unforgettable class.

For those of you that haven’t tried Yoga, it is amazing full body workout, but focuses on the core. Power Yoga leaves you with a sense of accomplishment and puts you in a relaxed state of mind. Instructor Jill Kennedy says, “If I can help everyone connect to something that feels good for them, then I’m doing what I’m here to do.”

The Calabasas Power Yoga studio is a clean facility with a friendly atmosphere full of great people. There is also a charity event they are sponsoring a charity event which can be seen in the photo here. Go to http://www.innerpoweryoga.net for more information.

Power Yoga holds classes on Monday and Wednesday mornings from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Classes cost $17 per class, $150 for a 10-class voucher or $350 for a 24-class voucher. Inner Power Yoga is located at 22233 Mulholland Hwy.

There is something about buying land:

Maybe a few acres of wilderness appeals to your pioneer spirit. Maybe it’s a desire to build a house exactly the way you want, which means starting with an unimproved, vacant lot in a new subdivision.

Don’t Forclose! Do a short sale

By: Kyle Gulock

You can understand that a homeowner who has lost a job and is without income has to default on his mortgage. But more and more homeowners who CAN make their payments are still deciding to default and walk away if the value of their property has fallen to less than they owe. Seeing no future in making payments on a declining asset, they are throwing in the towel, packing up, leaving, and hoping to make a deal with the bank to forgive their loans.

Over 10% of more recent defaults are strategic. Higher net worth homeowners are more likely to adopt this strategic strategy. One study identified 12 million homeowners who may be facing or choose default in the next 3 years. About 20% of all homeowners are “under water” on value. Any homeowner who purchased or financed in 2006, 2007 or 2008 is likely to be in this boat. Nearly 10% of all homeowners were delinquent at the beginning of the year, and nearly 5% are somewhere in the foreclosure process. There are all big numbers, and are casting a shadow over any actual or hoped for housing recovery.

The banks can write down the value of loans to fair market value, and this helps the homeowner in trouble. But somebody has to pay for this discount, and that somebody is all of the other responsible homeowners who ARE making their payments.

A short sale is a solution that works for both bank and homeowner in the situation described above. Plus, these sales are better for distressed borrowers because their credit scores suffer less. Going through a foreclosure can knock 200 points off a FICO score, twice as much as the penalty for a short sale.

Reactor watches, the best watches in the world.

Recently, I bought a Reactor watch from their store in Agoura Hills, CA. I had a tough time deciding which watch I wanted to buy, but I eventually decided to go with the Neutron (Metallic White Stainless bracelet).. This watch is comfortable, big faced, elegant, and durable. It is great to wear a watch and not have to worry about it getting nicked up.

 Two weeks later my friend had a birthday, I’ll let you guess what his present was…..A Reactor watch.  Since I bought this watch, I have decided that Reactor watches will be the only kind that I buy.

The Rooftop Bar at The Standard offers one of the most unique experiences in downtown LA.

This week’s course of the week is Trump National Golf Club, which is located at One Ocean Trails Drive, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA 90275. Trump National Golf Club has five sets of tee boxes ranging from 7,242 at the tips and 4,538 at the front. This course was built by Donald Trump, and like everything else that he does it is simply the best. The service is top notch, you can see the ocean from every hole, and the course is magnificently manicured. There were man made waterfalls that graced the course and these were absolutely stunning.

Having said all of that, there seemed to be something missing while playing at Trump National Golf Club. Don’t get me wrong, it is the best place to play in Los Angeles. However, I don’t think that this course can be put into the elite class of courses around the country. While playing Trump National all of the holes seemed to run together. There wasn’t that one signature hole that really ingrained itself into your memory.
