Cherry Blossom Yoga
If you could do anything on a cloudless April morning, what would it be? This past Saturday is was practicing yoga underneath cherry blossoms and the Washington Monument. Doing yoga on a hill–lead by Alison Adams, of DownDog Yoga, accompanied by a live Bluebrain performance–was pret[...]

Concentration Challenge
I’ve read a bunch of articles about how some of the best exercises are actually the ones that work out both your mind and body. So I added in yoga a few years ago and loved the results. I learned to relax and have been known to break out the breathing exercises at work when [...][...]
Second Breakfast?
I’ll admit it, there are days that I eat my breakfast and less than two hours later my stomach is rumbling. Usually this is when I work out really hard or I am up really early in the morning. Apparently I am not alone though. More on-the-go Americans are consuming their morning calories over s[...]

Sleep Rehab
I go through spurts where sleep just doesn’t come easy for me. Lately it has been when I am in NYC in the hotel and when I am there for a week, it completely wrecks me. A full 2/3 of Americans say they have trouble getting enough sleep at least once a week. It used to be [...][...]

When You Just Need More Hours In the Day
It’s a common wish. More hours in the day to get everything you could possibly need to do. Experts tell us to make time for exercise, which is nearly impossible. As a busy working professional, it is really hard to make time. I already have things I must do in a day such as sleep, [...][...]
What if a machine dictated your menu?
What if you walked up to your fridge and it didn’t open because it knew you wanted ice cream? Instead it recommends that you grab an apple. As part of its LiVe public service program, Intermountain Healthcare has installed a fake, talking vending machine at Rose Park Elementary School in Salt [...]
