Figure 4 at Pure Yoga
I was never that good at ballet. My body didn’t turn and twist the way it was supposed to, and I swear my short stature had everything to do with it. So I stayed pretty far away from barre classes, aside from the occasional barre ride at Revolve. Then a few weeks ago while in [...][...]
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[...]

The Most Un-Yogi Yoga Instructor
Tara Stiles has been called the most un-yogi yoga instructor. I read in a NYT article last July that people in the inner yoga circles criticize her emphasis on yoga for weight loss rather than a lifestyle.

Yoga Teachings that Apply to Work
I started taking yoga regularly about four years ago. Not only did I actually start sleeping better, but I started applying some of what I learned to my working life. Every day is different and is its own day—One of the things that the yoga instructors like to say is that no two days on [...][...]
