Coming Soon: Yoga Vibes with Daniel Flynn
A fellow graduate student of mine wrote his masters thesis on Interconnectivity in Choreomusical Performance. A fascinating mouthful, as the projects at the Gallatin School in New York City tend to be. I learned many things from Ken in our round table discussions and from his performances throughout our degree program. Ken is a drummer and a dancer specializing in …
Intro to Yoga Workshop with Sarah Robinette
LEARNING TO BEND Looking back, I can see that injuring my hip was a major turning point in my life. I was the most stubborn 20 year old in history, and I chose to ignore my pain. I developed a limp, but continued to serve beers, pizzas, and lasagnas five nights a week, hobbling around the restaurant, until one day …
Hatha for Strength: a workshop with Daniel Flynn | Saturday, July 16th 2pm
CONTROL The creative process is a process of surrender, not control. Julia Cameron The New York Times recently reported that an increasing number of adult women are being diagnosed with eating disorders. I wasn’t surprised by these findings, especially, as the Times article explains, women with eating disorders often appear quite functional. On the surface, they are in control. That’s …
Teaching Beach Bums New Tricks
As some of you may recall from a previous post, I’ve recently discovered the wonders of moisturizer. My skin is thanking me by being more radiant and throwing fewer temper tantrums in the form of break-outs. I’ve been falling in love with skin care, enjoying the delicious sensations of bumpy exfoliants, cooling toners, and sweet, creamy moisturizers. Now that it’s …
We’ve got your back.

If you missed our …
Moving Meditation: A Qigong Workshop with Monica Rudestam
QIGONG: Moving and Speaking When the sun rises over Sunset Park, the highest point in the borough of Brooklyn, the light is soft, the leaves on the stone path listen, the benches wait, and groups of people practice qigong. They move in unison, reaching arms out, sweeping, lifting, balancing. They move slowly like cranes in a gentle walk along a river, like …
Returned Lock Makes Root Staff Very Happy
It was an ordinary day at Root Whole Body. The yoga students’ oms could be heard resounding in the front hall, the massage clients were shuffling out, rosy and smiling, a fresh tray of cookies from Blossoming Lotus had been delivered and sat huddled together awaiting their fate. Then, the mail came. I love mail. Who doesn’t? Our mail woman …
A Healthy Lifeline
Care for your active body starts with a healthy lifeline. Most folks don’t realize how essential chiropractic care is to your overall health. Far too many people still believe that chiropractic care is needed only when one has a severe headache or low back pain. Truth is, millions of folks get adjusted regularly to improve their health and their body’s …
Healthy Back Clinic with Dr. Herold and Pam Blair
Back Pain. We all suffer from it now and then. We can’t get comfortable in bed at night. We bend over–something feels wrong. We stand up–something doesn’t feel right. And so many of us sit at computers all day typing away. By lunch time, the muscles in our mid-back are whispering, “ouchbackpain ouchbackpain.” By 5 ‘o clock, it’s more like …
Cilantro-Eating Mutants
I've been in a smoothie sort of mood. It's probably due to summer lingering right around the corner. So, when I came across this recipe for a cilantro shake, I got very excited. I love cilantro. Cilantro makes me think of summer too, of cool yogurt dips, and spicy salsa, and a margarita to wash it all down. (Martha Stewart …

HOW LONG COULD YOU DRIVE YOUR CAR OUT OF ALIGNMENT? As a chiropractic physician, my job is to be a doctor for the whole body. I do not specialize in just one part of our system, but look at the relationships of all parts witin the whole. If you’ll indulge me, I have an analogy I’d like to share involving …
