is back to the Atlantic Ocean, his bare feet in the cool sand, instructor Kris Waldron faced his class of 10 people, began talking his students through a series of positions.
"Just relax your feet in the sand," he told them. "Get `em in nice and tight like this. Now, deep breaths. Inhale, and look up at the sky. Now, exhale. Inhale, one, two, three, four, five. Now exhale, one, two, three, four, five."
Once warmed up, it was on to other exercises. There were sun salutations and eagle poses, stretching and meditation.
"People have been doing yoga on the beach for a long time," Waldron says. "But this is the first casino to offer it on the beach."
The free class, held three times a week for employees and guests of Resorts, is part of a larger trend in Atlantic City, where casinos are thinking outside the box _ in more ways than one _ to appeal to gamblers.
For years, the prevailing strategy was to keep guests indoors, avoiding any off-premise activity that would take gamblers away off the casino floor.
But stiff new competition, together with the city's repeal of a longstanding ban on booze on the beach, have changed that.
Outdoor activities have become a decent bet for casinos hoping to hold on to old customers and woo new ones with beach bars, outdoor rock concerts, tableside food service and other amenities.

The Wood County Commission has called a special meeting to discuss whether it should allow a video lottery operator to open a business across the street from a Baptist Church.
The commission imposed a 90-day moratorium earlier this year on new video lottery retailers while it considered a proposed ordinance that would restrict where such establishments can locate. The moratorium, which expires this week, would prevent new video-lottery locations from opening within 1,000 feet of any church, school, playground, park, recreation area, residence, hotel, library or state building. |
