Jivamukti Yoga, with its star-studded classes, put yoga on the map in the US. But at its core it is all about ahimsa, not harming other sentient beings. Its founders, Sharon Gannon and David Life, have been beautifully supportive of attempts to spread that message including via this book. Jivamukti and their affiliates are offering everybody who buys Thanking the Monkey on the promotional day a free first time, or first time in a year, yoga class at any (or all) of the studios listed below.

Crossroads, celebrating a year of vegan fine dining in LA., has brought paparazzi to the vegan world. (But we love them anyway.) You have to expect that at a place where Bill Clinton and Sean Penn have been seen dining together, and which hosts Hollywood’s elite night after night. When you taste the food you’ll know why. They are offering a FREE DESSERT to anybody who comes in on May 20 with a Thanking the Monkey Amazon receipt from that day. There are no strings attached to this generous one day offer, but check out the menu and you’ll know why I think you’d be mad not to have dinner while you are there. The “crab cakes” are out of this world. So are the homemade artisan nut cheeses. If you go for dinner, you will want to make a reservation.

Candle 79 is one of my favorite restaurants in the world. I had my Thanking the Monkey media luncheon there (hosted by Gloria Steinem, who loves Candle 79) and I am honored to have their participation in this campaign.
