Ah the sticky sweet sweatiness of summer’s imminent arrival. We can already see ourselves lounging under the hazy sunshine, sand between our toes, a frosty beverage within reach, Matt Damon trading off between strumming softly on a guitar and hand feeding us bites of watermelon…hey, we can dream what we want! Really though, with Memorial [...]

File this under “Yay for Yoga!” Sure yoga news seems to be taking over the world, but when just about every single media outlet picks up a story about yoga helping cancer patients, we say bring it on! A study at the University of Rochester has found that a 75 minute yoga practice twice a [...]

It’s Daylight Savings Time again! We may lose an hour this weekend, but the bright side is it means spring is nigh! While the impetus behind setting the clocks ahead was to save energy costs (more daylight hours+ideal universe=less use of electricity) the shift in time has more of an impact than we were aware [...]

Hey we all spend enough time prattling on about action sequence yoga practice: breathing, extending, sweating, chaturanga-ing.

But even without bolster and blocks we bet a good lot of you do your own version of restorative (likely in [...]

Boy the air seems a little thick with gloom today, eh? let’s see if we can’t cheer us up with some news bits positivity. Belinda Carlisle Go-Go’s to Yoga (heh): Former Go-Go’s pop star, Belinda Carlisle (remember her? she had some big solo hits in the 80s too) is currently enjoying stress-free prep for Dancing [...]

Have you ever fallen asleep in savasana? Yes? Wussies. Just kidding! We’re not ashamed to admit dosing off, and how funny (and endearing) is it when you hear your neighboring yogi give a little snore? It feels pretty good to get in a some snoozetime. Well, now there’s a class for that. Equinox on the [...]
