Planet Yoga Hong Kong: Marc Santa Maria & Jess Gronholm
We work hard and play even harder, which is why it is all the more essential to take good care of our mortal shell. From vibrating plates to pole dancing, our fitness regimens are virtually a hodgepodge of the quirky and the trendy. We might as well be a city of over exercised bunnies – lethal in the board room and just as ruthless in the gym – if it weren’t for the blessed stillness and discipline that Planet Yoga instills.
Keeping in mind our collective penchant for superlatives, Planet Yoga introduces two superstars of the yoga world who also happen to be supermodels – Jess Gronholm and Marc Santa Maria.


Both are living proof that practicing the most outstanding, unusual and unique way to tone your body, tune your mind and fly into the present moment can have fantastic results.
Jess Gronholm has taught fun and challenging yoga classes for all levels of practitioners for almost a decade. He is particularly well-known for his innovative design of over 20 distinct yoga workouts (including Anti-Gravity “Wings” Yoga), his collaboration with MTV on their first-ever Yoga videos, and his down-to-earth, humorous approach to coaching his students. He is also a brand ambassador for yoga inspired athletic apparel, Lululemon.
Marc Santa Maria is possibly the yoga world’s most dynamic force. He the creative consultant of more than 60 different dance and wellness-inspired workouts. For over four years, he has been the Crunch New York Regional Director of Group Fitness, where he currently oversees nearly 700 weekly classes in the New York area.
Marc also is an Elite Athlete and Master Trainer for Nike. In this capacity, he has trained instructors in over 30 cities internationally. He has trained a select group of private clients in both fitness and dance, including actress Sarah Jessica Parker.
There hasn’t been a better time to get into yoga. With the arrival of these two celebrity instructors, there’s certainly plenty of reasons to engage in the exciting, inspirational, and life changing experience that yoga offers. From the Himalayan Mountains through Hollywood direct to Hong Kong, we live in a Yoga Planet!

Leaked of Launch: LG Bl 40 campaing leaves us wondering?
LG had just launched a massive Asia and Europe wide social media campaign. It appears from the postings that it is about recovering leaked technology before the launch of their new product the LG BL 40. But it looks a lot like a slick attention getting launch campaign. US10,000 dollars to recover a lost phone? Seems pretty steap.
Example of postings seen:
“Leaked, the newest technology threaten competitors”I’m sure the phone that LG is looking for is embedded with the latest technology. In truth, mobile manufacturers first purchase the competitors’ new handsets to examine and analyze. On the LG’s timeline, this technology must be related to the new Chocolate phone. The new Chocolate phone is the successor of the original Chocolate sold over 21 million globally. Accordingly, the new Chocolate must have jaw-dropping features.We need to keep our eyes on what the media states. What do you think?
And here is a look at the phone in question:
