Yoga with Celebrity Moms in Pomona

So at the Art WAlk last night, people were asking around if Edward James Olmos was really going to be there. Turns out he sent his mom Eleanor Huizar instead. That's actually kinda sweet. And yes, she looks just like him.

Christine Devine showed up, as she tweeted as much and someone at the art walk was bragging about taking a selfie with her.

The biggest news of the art walk, however, was that Pomona's first yoga and meditation studio is coming to downtown 2nd Street. Open Door will open their doors August 15. Their new space is located on the north side of the street, between Garey and Thomas. If you look in the windows, you can already see the dark hardwood floor they've laid down. I met the founder and abyss Melanie Yetter last night, where she and her staff were giving out free sticks of incense.

A yoga and meditation studio will be a nice addition to Pomona, even if you won't find Edward James Olmos downward dogging on the yoga mat next to you anytime soon. You may want to keep an eye out for Eleanor Huizar though. People who come to Pomona from other places tend to fall in love with the place. Guess that's why I'm still here 11 years later.
