Most of us are familiar with the health benefits of yoga and exercise: improved flexibility, muscle building, increased focus — the list goes on. But
if doing yoga or going to the gym doesn’t sound appealing, you can still
get fit. Here’s a small sample of group workout classes throughout the
county (and just over the bridge) that will get the job done. K.P.

SLOW DOWN Last month,
Marin County sheriff’s
deputies started using lidar
devices to record the speeds
of bike riders on Open Space
district fire roads and trails
that receive the most complaints about dangerous activity. Lidar, short for Light
Detection and Ranging,
utilizes narrow laser pulses
that are more accurate in
calculating speeds than radar
readings. The current speed
limit is 15 mph on roads and
trails, 5 mph when passing.

Sky’s the Limit
Marian Kwon and Monika Rose are friends and mothers who worked with big brands like Gap, Design
Within Reach, Disney and LeapFrog before they founded Epic Sky. The two Mill Valley women found
that clothing stores appealing to girls their daughters’ age lacked a positive message and launched their
Sausalito-based venture with the goal of empowering teen and tween girls. Epic Sky’s model centers on
the creative visions and desires of Gen Z girls (ages 10–15) and lets them make those visions a reality.
Joining an all-female adult management team, girls serve on an advisory board and are responsible for
designing and developing clothes, accessories and content that are then sold online. epicsky.co K. P.
