Crystal bowls resonate at West Palm Beach yoga class

Judi Love plays her crystal bowls at the Mandel Public Library.

Three crystal bowls were lined up on the stage Saturday in the auditorium of the Mandel Public Library of West Palm Beach.

The bowls were of varying sizes, making me wonder what the substitute yoga instructor would do with them.

Soon, Judi Love introduced herself and began reading to us and then playing the bowls, made of crushed quartz crystal.

Yoga at Lake Worth beach

Yoga class underway on the northend of the Lake Worth beach

I went to the Lake Worth beach on Sunday morning, expecting to find a yoga class taught by the same instructor who teaches at the Society of the Four Arts.

But Rassika Sabine Bourgi wasn't there.

Instead, I found my old Palm Beach Post pal Ken Bohannon at Beach Yoga by Kerri. Ken and I go way back at the Post, we started there in 1989 as business reporters. 

Exploring renovated Science Center with 9-year-old

The line to get into the Science Center Friday snaked around the building.

The South Florida Science Center and Aquarium created a perfect storm on Friday.

The West Palm Beach center publicized its grand re-opening with a splash in local media outlets and offered free admission for that day, also the first day of summer recess for the 175,000-plus students in Palm Beach County public schools.

At times, it seemed like at least half of those students were waiting on line to get inside and get an up-close-and-personal look at what $5 million would buy. The stories promised an 8,000-gallon aquarium.
