YOGAPALOOZA AT CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER RECREATION AREA: “Is my kundalini showing?”

Prior to the 1991 rock music festival of the same name, "lollapalooza" was an obscure slang word meaning “something extraordinary.” Since the festival, people began using “-palooza” as a suffix to signify “a large, themed gathering”; hence, Dogapalooza (for several pet-themed gatherings), Nannypalooza (the National Association of Nanny Care’s convention), and even Vulvapalooza (both a derogatory nickname for Lilith Fair and an actual female-centric music festival in Atlanta few years back).

On Sunday, CL dropped by Yogapalooza, a yoga-themed gathering at the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area promoting both physical well-being and Crunch, the chain of gyms sponsoring the event.
