For avid yogis, first-timers and anyone in between, Yoga Squared is a great yoga studio in the Tustin area. The studio stands out from similar options in the area because of its childcare facility, which is located right on-site and gives busy parents the opportunity to attend a yoga class without finding someone to watch the little ones. The studio itself is located right above the popular El Camino Café in Old Town Tustin, so it is very near many of the area’s other shops, residences and offices.

Inside, Yoga Squared is bright and inviting, with a colorful reception area offering yoga merchandise for sale or rent. The studio features floor-to-ceiling windows that let in ample light and hardwood floors that keep things feeling clean, while the childcare room contains plush toys, mats and books that will ensure that both you and your kids leave relaxed and happy.

By the time you get seated at Tustin's Gen Korean BBQ House, you'll probably have worked up an appetite. That's because the eatery boasts such a following that a meal there often includes a wait for a table. But make it through the wait, and you will be greatly rewarded. At both lunch and dinner, patrons feast on all-you-can-eat cuts of Korean meats—which you cook yourself on each table's central grill.

You'll have two hours (the time limit placed on every party!) to sizzle and sample more than 30 types of meat, seafood, and veggies, so waste no time ordering your first round when you sit down. From thin slices of American waygu kobe brisket (a local favorite) and Black Angus top sirloin to shrimp and garlic calamari, the menu encompasses a wide variety of exotic and familiar meats.

One of soul music’s most influential pioneers, Ray Charles overcame a number of personal and professional battles during his rise to stardom. Here are some of the most important highlights from his lengthy musical career.

1. Though Ray Charles is known for being blind, he wasn’t born that way. Charles began to gradually lose his sight as a child, and he didn’t become fully blind until age seven.
2. When he moved to Seattle at age 16, Charles befriended Quincy Jones. The legendary songwriter, trumpet player, and music producer often credits Charles for getting him into music. The two remained lifelong friends.
3. Just one year after his first record deal with Atlantic Records, Charles saw his first number one single with “I Got a Woman." The song is now one of his most legendary.
4. Charles has had a lot of nicknames throughout his career. When he first started to become successful, fellow musicians called him “The Genius” because of the previously unheard of way in which he blended musical styles. Later, he became known as “The Father of Soul."
5. Charles was among the first group of musicians to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 1986, he received the honor with fellow musicians like Elvis, Chuck Berry, and James Brown.
