Ever since my early days at Jivamukti, I’ve loved taking class with Jules Febre. So when I had the opportunity to take class with him at the Yoga Journal Conference last weekend, I signed up for his Hip Hop Asana class. I incorrectly assumed that this would be a vinyasa class choreographed to hip hop music. In a way it… Read More
I’m obsessed with coconut oil. I use it for everything from cooking & baking to moisturizing my skin. The health benefits are through the roof and there are literally hundreds of uses for it. Grab a jar — or two — and keep it on hand for all your household needs. Watch the video to see some of my… Read More
Two days, 12 hours and 6 classes. I spent the weekend at the Yoga Journal Conference and I couldn’t have done it without Lolë Women, one of my favorite activewear brands for women. I stumbled on Lolë this summer when I wore their flattering, comfortable and functional tops both during my tri training and for the race. After that I… Read More
The sun is out, the temperature is finally above 50 degrees and I couldn’t be happier. Last weekend, David and I spent some time in Vermont to squeeze in some final days of skiing before the season ends. I love Spring skiing because it means my hands don’t get cold.

I’ve learned to catch… Read More
I’m always a skeptic when it comes to “bars,” as in the energy/nutritional supplement/meal replacement variety. One look at the label and I’m transported into ingredient mayhem. Fake ingredients parade as healthy ones, added sugars galore and the list goes on. So, when Core Foods sent me a sample variety pack of their Core Defender Meals, a raw, vegan, high… Read More
Initially, I wanted to title this post “How to Get a Flat Tummy” and leave it at that. Isn’t that what many women want, anyway? But I didn’t want to lead you on, because, it’s not really about the flat tummy or achieving some unattainable standard of beauty. The real issue we need to address is that what’s happening… Read More
Six flights in seven days. That sums up my past week. It’s not exactly conducive to half marathon training. Though I haven’t mentioned it here yet, I’ve been in half marathon training mode since February anticipating the More Fitness Half Marathon on April 14. I’ve battled the brutal winter weather we’ve had here in New York, a terrible cough and… Read More
