Fresh Friday: Tapas Yoga With Russell Simmons And Porschla Coleman

Ever find yourself getting bored of the usual rutina? Russell Simmons and his bella novia Porschla Coleman have got your back! Literally...

The much-talked-about pair are heating up las noches with Tapas Yoga. Trust us, that doesn't mean you get to eat bite-sized pieces of chorizo or chucks of queso while you stretch! The Jivamukti-inspired yoga practice means to burn with self-discipline and meditation while twisting your cuerpo into many unexpected positions. We were hungry for a challenge and decided to attend the exclusive event hosted by the hip-hop mogul himself.

We may have been on a mission to work out our culitos, but Russell's commitment flexes for a deeper cause. Mr. Simmons and Ms. Coleman launched the weekly sessions officially beginning October 7th to support more yoga instructors of color to rejuvenate our hectic vidas one stance at a time. As we watched Russell effortlessly pop into a headstand, Porschla was showcasing her own masterful skills...

As a professional yoga trainer for celebs, Porschla was delicately pushing our postures into place and gripping our legs for a wanna-be headstand (Ay como duele!). Our backs cracked in fifteen different places, but we had Russell's voice assuring us to "KNOW YOUR INTENTION." Want to grab a piece of this session?
