Vinyasa: The Link Between Poses
Yoga is all about connecting your breath with your body, and vinyasas help that happen. Vinyasas link static yoga poses together, so your practice becomes more of a deliberate, fluid dance instead of just a bunch of random poses thrown together. Vinyasa is a series of 5 movements, kind of like a shortened Sun Salutation.A New Exercise Movement: NIA
Sick and tired of the same old treadmill routine?
NIA (pronounced NEE-ah) stands for neuromuscular integrative action, and it's one of the many ways you can breathe life into your stale workout routine. NIA is an interesting blend of the fluidity of Tai Chi, the flexibility of yoga, the randomness of modern dance and the energy of martial arts.
Applied Kinesiology: It's All About Your Muscles
The other day my friend said "My chiropractor used applied kinesiology to discover that I had too much mercury in my body. They did some tests on my muscles to find out." Huh?

The Slow-Sex Movement: An Introduction
You may have heard of the slow-food movement that started in Italy to counteract the rise of fast food, promote locally grown produce, and encourage meals made and eaten with care. A similar movement is taking hold in the sexual arena: the slow-sex movement. It borrows ideas from many Eastern practices like Tantra and Buddhist mindfulness but with a modern twist.
Slow-Sex Movement Guru: On Orgasms and Sex Positivity
"I’ve never actually met a woman who wasn’t orgasmic. I’ve met women who’ve put themselves against a cultural idea, but we orgasm differently from the model that we’re told orgasm is."
This is the last post in a four-part series of interviews I had with Nicole Daedone, who is emerging as the leader of the slow-sex movement, and who founded the OneTaste urban retreat center in San Francisco.
Slow Sex Movement Guru: What Do Men Want?
"The men who come to OneTaste are men who are so sick of having to pretend like they know what they’re doing."
This is the third in a four-part series of interviews I had with Nicole Daedone, who is emerging as the leader of the slow-sex movement and who founded the OneTaste urban retreat center in San Francisco. OneTaste invites men and women to learn about mindful sexuality by participating in workshops, yoga, and (for residents only) controversial "OMing" sessions in which men stroke women to orgasm during daily morning sessions.
Slow Sex Movement Guru: On Romance and Sex
"I think that when you actually have raw intimacy, it isn’t sex, it isn’t romance, and it isn’t spirituality — it's just a pure connection."

Sober Knows Best
I could never be a proponent of the temperance movement (long live liquid sanity!), but these gals still kick arse in my book. Unlike all the other defeated and docile women of yesteryear, these ladies had the gumption to take a stand group photo and rally behind a cause they were passionate about. If there were a modern-day nacho movement, I'd do the same.
DVD: Endurance for Movement by Tracie Long
Sometimes I like my workout to be straight up strength training and other days I like it to be a little more new age.
Trainer Tracie Long knows how to create a total-body workout that mixes strength, balance, core and endurance moves with power, which is exactly what you'll get with her Endurance for Movement video ($19.95). The aerobic segments keep you in the fat-burning zone, and the toning segments work multiple muscle groups.
Happy Hour: 2005 Bad Boy Bordeaux
When I first received this bottle of Bordeaux in the mail, its Bad Boy name and whimsical label, which features a black sheep and an arrow labeled "garage," meant little to me. But after doing some research, I discovered the whole thing makes quite a bit of sense.
The inky red wine, which is 95 percent Merlot and 5 percent Cabernet Franc, hails from the famous French region of Bordeaux, which is known for its style of highly tannic, collectible wines.
