A couple weekends ago was the DC Cherry Blossom Yoga event. Every year Lululemon leads a practice with ambassadors at the Sylvan Theater – Grounds of the Washington Monument. This year was unbelievable. Great people, great weather and a great workout. After the practice a few friends and I had a nice picnic. I made
Martha Stewart's white-bean salad with zucchini and parmesan and
Trader Joes harvest grains blend. Others brought oatmeal raisin and sugar cookies, chips and salsa and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. It was a delightful picnic right next to the Washington Monument. Unfortunately, the only picture I took had my finger right smack dab in the lens. Trust me though the food was great. Instead I'll post pictures of our yoga practice :)
