A new exercise from LA - developed from pilates yoga and ballet

I am trying to find the name of an exercise, so that I can then find out the website and register for online classes.

I read about this exercise in either the london metro or evening standard paper. I think it was in August or September 2012 (between the Olympics and paraolympics). It was an exercise developed in the USA, and I believe classes are delivered in Los Angeles.

The name of the exercise begins with a 'g' I believe the first part of the word is 'gra' or even 'grace' it is a very long word. The person that founded it had been doing pilates, but either had injuries from this or didn't feel they got the full range of movement. So after doing a lot of research they developed this exercise. It was developed from I believe a mixture of pilates, yoga and ballet and the founder has had scientific articles published about it.

The exercise uses a flexible band shaped in a figure of 8 (so 2 loops), which enables you do to exercises with your legs in the air. Because they only offer lessons from their Los Angeles studio, their website (they do have one as I looked it up at the time, but can't find it now!), stated that it had online classes and they would send the equipment (flexible band type thing) in the post and it worked by the band like equipment being fitted under the door.

If you were unable to find the name of it, I was just wondering if there was a full exercise directory that I could search for it?

I have tried searching their metro and evening standard archives without luck and have written a question to the editor. Also used google to no avail.

Really hope you can help! 87.112.30.216 (talk) 12:49, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Appearing in the back of a picture

Okay, this is stupid, but what is the name for someone randomly appearing in the background of a photograph? None of the Google searches I'm trying are working, and the only term I can think of is "creeping", but I'm sure that there's something else. -- Zanimum (talk) 19:45, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
