Intention is different from dedication, which I’ll distinguish because it’s important to understand the purpose behind this practice. By setting an intention you are building a bridge between what you work through on your mat, and what you continue to focus your mind on when you step off of your mat. This intention is a powerfully energetic tool to take your practice into the world. In addition, as you continue to focus on your intention, even after class has finished, you uplift your energy and increase your vibration, thereby acting as an example to inspire the lives of those you encounter....

It wasn’t until I met a friend for breakfast who blamed her tardiness on the green juice that I became intrigued. Every morning she grabs a glass of celery juice from her local bodega. She doesn’t eat anything for 30 minutes and then goes about her day. Since drinking the juice, she has been feeling like a superwoman, she told me—less bloated, with more energy. She’s even lost a few pounds....

The Brooklyn Fashion + Design Accelerator (BF+DA) is a community where aspiring and up-and-coming designers can gather for advice, materials and equipment. The catch? They have to be willing to create a line that is crafted with the planet in mind. Take Mara Hoffman’s new boho bathing suits made from recycled spandex, or Eileen Fisher’s entire line of staples made from recycled cashmere, wool and cotton that’s been re-spun into new fabric....

Here, we’ll dive into the personality traits of Virgo and explore how this sign approaches life, love, career, and more. In Gemini (a mutable air sign), Mercury manifests as quick-thinking, chatty, and dynamic energy. Virgo, however, is an earth sign, so it speaks to Mercury’s more self-contained energy. Virgo’s job, with the help of Mercury, is to sort through the harvest—essentially separating what’s necessary from what’s not. Virgo is dedicated to this task, hence why Virgos are often known as the editors of the zodiac....

Until one Sunday, after years of conversation, repeated attempts to better compliment each other, counseling and soul searching — my husband and I looked at each other with tears in our eyes. Walking away from life as I knew it was never something I’d envisioned. I expected to feel regret and to build stronger boundaries, but instead I found my heart more open than it had ever been. And shockingly, my divorce, more than my marriage, taught me about love....

If you’re curious, here’s what you should know about ruined orgasms before attempting to wreck your or someone else’s next climax. So rather than feeling a 10/10 euphoric explosion of pleasure, the sub would feel a not-so-satisfying 2/10 instead. Yay. Ruined orgasms can happen by accident, too. In fact, you might’ve actually had one in the past! “Many of us have experienced them; most of us just don’t eroticize the experience,” says sociologist and clinical sexologist Sarah Melancon, Ph....

At the same time, the term “hatha” has also evolved in the U.S. to describe a particular type of yoga class that’s typically slow-paced with a focus on proper alignment, explains Lisa Maria, national workshop director at YogaWorks and certified yoga instructor. What’s the difference between hatha yoga and vinyasa? Compared to vinyasa classes, which often flow through series of poses at a quick clip, hatha classes typically guide practitioners through postures at a slower pace with more guidance on how to do each pose correctly....
