Seun Lim, the founder of premium denim brand James Jeans, has started another hit Los Angeles craze—and this time in the fitness world. Located in Korea Town in a huge light-filled studio with sky-high ceilings, exposed brick, and charming chandeliers, D&A Flying Yoga combines traditional yoga poses, aerial arts, and Pilates into a fun and legit workout that is anything but a passing trend. After a challenging mat workout with a strong focus on breath and alignment, Lim (who is a graduate of the School of Art Institute of Chicago and a former ballerina at the Yewon School of Ballet in South Korea), expertly guides participants through a creative, flowing sequence of aerial poses using silk hammocks that hang from the ceiling. Adjusted to fit the height of each individual, the hammocks reverse the pull of gravity, build strength, elongate the spine, and promote smooth and increased blood flow to targeted regions. Private, semi-private, and group classes of 12 people are available and generally range from $35 per class for group packages to $150 for an individual private session. (yoga.thedanda.com)
