Heidi and Linda just opened up a new pilates, ballet and yoga studio in Fairfield called “Pirouette, Pilates and More“.
Moving our bodies has always been [...]

Being a New Englander…one of my favorite midsummer activities is sailing….well, that’s a stretch. I like watching other people sail who know what they are actually doing, while I just wait to be given a simple task, like skirting the mainsail in a lazy Saturday race, or making sure everyone’s beers are full.

So again, this weather is still getting me down, and I was reminded today on the Orange Line in Boston of how that posh voice on the London Tube politely requests that everyone “MIND THE GAP” before stepping off to their destination.
I love when Buddhist philosophy comes from unlikely sources, and this little reminder definitely [...]
