Santa Monica yoga teacher, Jennifer Pastiloff, is celebrating her wedding in a way that raises funds for Haiti relief in lieu of gifts...this Sunday at Santa Monica's biggest donation yoga studio, Yogaco!

Santa Monica yoga teacher , Jennifer Pastiloff , is celebrating her wedding in a way that raises funds for Haiti relief in lieu of gifts!
This Sunday at Santa Monica's biggest donation yoga studio, Yogaco!

The Marriage of two different Cultures: one in Need, one in a place to Give.

I was never one of those girls that sat home and cut out pictures from BRIDE Magazine or planned my big white wedding.

Maybe because my father died when I was eight, and I was worried no one would walk me down the aisle? Or, because before he passed, he and my mother fought like cats and dogs and were possibly the most mismatched couple, always about to divorce? Maybe because I have the world’s smallest family. Maybe I was scared? The reason never mattered to me. I just didn’t envision myself getting married. Not that I didn’t necessarily want to, per se, it was just the visualization of it that eluded me. And, if you have ever been to one of my yoga classes, you know that I talk a lot about visualization. I make vision boards. I watched “ The Secret.”

So when my boyfriend asked me in December to marry him, I naturally freaked out a bit. Not only is a big wedding kind of antithetical to my personality (I am not very good at organizing and planning), but I was just stumped.

How would we do it?

We went to London over Christmas, where he is from. We were going to elope (naturally, I couldn’t imagine my wedding…and I wouldn’t have to, if we eloped in Hyde Park. The answer was clear.)

It didn’t work. I would have had to stay in London for 20 days due to some ancient legal passport baloney, and I simply could not miss that much work. I am a yoga teacher. I pay rent to teach at the donation-based studio where I work and I simply cannot afford to miss that much. One day I visualize I will be able to. Not December 2009.

We came back. Not married.

Then Haiti had the big earthquake.

That is when my visualization happened. I would turn my yoga class, which is run by donation, into a wedding party where all the money would go to Haiti. They, after all, need much more than me, who could use a new frying pan and a lamp…but that’s about it. I created an “event” through Facebook. You can see already how I am not the white wedding dress type of gal. My wedding invite was through Facebook! I even invited all my yoga “fans.”

I instructed everyone to bring something to share. Whether champagne or a poem or popcorn or a song…and definitely a donation to Haiti . There is nothing making me happier right now than the idea that I get to have “my day” as well as help out our brothers and sisters over there. The Red Cross got wind of what I was doing and want to be a part of it. Also, OneHope Wine, a most amazing wine company, is sponsoring me since they donate half of their proceeds to charities.

I am a huge fan of Wayne Dyer and I have learned from him to ask myself daily, “How may I serve?” I live my life like this, and I realized that my wedding party must reflect that as well.

I am in a position to help. So I will. I pay rent on the space I teach in, but I firmly believe that the money will always come back to me. It always does.

This is such a special occasion. Not only is it marking my new life, but it is a sign of the yoga (meaning “union”) of the human spirit. When I told people I was giving the money to Haiti for my wedding, they wanted to be a part of it. Not only are we all coming together on Sunday February 28, 2010, for something as beautiful as a marriage of two people (Jennifer Pastiloff and Robert Taleghany), but for the marriage of two different cultures: one in need, one in the place to give.

I truly believe that sending out our goodwill like this will begin the healing of Haiti, and of the human condition. The pots and pans and dish towels will always be there.

I would really love a wok, though.

Kelsey — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 09:05:00 -0800

Calling all yogis who practice Yoga in Santa Monica!!! Yogaco, Santa Monica's largest, cleanest, greenest, and most varied donataion-based yoga studio has some new additions to our schedule!

FEATURED TEACHER: Yogaco is proud to announce the incredible James Brown is now teaching Tuesdays and Thursdays at4:15pm in the Water Room. He teaches a vigorous and challenging, yet fun Athletic Vinyasas class that yogis will love! He is also holding privates in the Sky Room. (Contact James at: james@jamesbrownyoga.com for more info.)

James has been practicing yoga since 1991.

He started teaching in his hometown, Washington, DC, around 1997. Then in 2001, he made a leap to Santa Monica and a deeper practice through study with Maty Ezraty, the founder of YogaWorks. Studying with her taught him to practice meditative focus during a nearly impossible daily physical practice. Apprenticing with her as a teacher gave him tools that he now uses in every class he teaches.

During this time, he began teaching teacher trainings. Until 2008, he led about twenty YogaWorks 200-hour Teacher Trainings all over the world. Teaching for a few months at a time in different cultures taught him about the common benefits that yoga has to different kinds of people.

So, in 2009, armed with a broader understanding of the enormous need for a new approach to teaching this often inaccessible practice, he co-founded his own teacher training company, YogaPoser, which offers 200-hour Teacher Training programs and also creates yoga content for several national yoga and fitness companies.

He is currently developing a vinyasa system that is suited to the Western practitioner.

He live with a dog, Diane, in Santa Monica.
