The entrance of the new Kaiser Permanente medical clinic in Manhattan Beach, California has the look and feel of an open yoga studio. In fact, the waiting room is called a public square at the Manhattan Beach Medical Offices, and starting this spring, yoga and other exercise classes, healthy cooking classes and community events will be offered during the day — and if there’s a demand by the community — at night and on Saturdays.
The new medical clinic which opened in December, represents the first of its kind for Kaiser, said Maziyar Shoaee, MD, the facility’s physician-in-charge who also practices internal medicine.
