Stern Grove Yoga before the show
So, today was the last show of the season featuring Al Green and Goapele and the Glide Choir. My husband is a huge Al Green fan and I also like him very much.
We bought the yoga in the grove tickets at $50 each to guarantee our entry to this event. (Yoga $50 = free priority entry)
We arrived at 10:45 am at the which was the published start time for the yoga class. We got checked in and were given a wrist band that signified that were attending the yoga class.
We were given a wrist band and allowed to go down to the meadow that had the yoga session already in progress.
The yoga class went until about 11:45 am at which point everyone got in line to go into the grove.
They checked wristbands and allowed yoga attendees down to the next checkpoint. Someone asked a volunteer if they could enter the grove at that point since they participated in yoga and he said “Yes, if you did yoga.”
So, about 30 people ducked under the narrow stanchion to head toward the grove. Security guards turned everyone back to the line as the person had made a mistake.
At around 11:58 am, we noticed that the other General Admission line was flowing into the grove. So, someone mentioned it loudly, and then we were allowed to enter the grove too.
I don’t know if they will do the yoga thing again next year, but it was a good thing for us overall.
