Cool Hunting
Laughing Lotus Yoga Center is the most fun yoga center that I've experienced. The yoga is very playful, but you get a great workout both spiritually and physically. Their rooftop yoga classes are one of my favorite things about New York in the summer, and will celebrate their 7th anniversary this coming Monday, 10 July 2006. As Dana Flynn, co-founder and co-director of Laughing Lotus explains in her trademark Dana way, "I love the feeling of being up away from it all, a little closer to heaven. No matter how hot down below, there's always a cool breeze up above. The playground inspires us all to play and we can all use more of that—swinging from the rooftop, literally!" I love it too. I can't wait to see the clouds pass over my head while I am in shavasana.

Using a soft trapeze, Aerial Yoga combines basic yoga postures with the miracles of gravity. The result is a new practice that encourages proper alignment by strengthening shoulder and core ab muscles and increasing shoulder and spinal flexibility—all without strain or pain. Like partner yoga or any other type of assist, the hammock-like aerial apparatus counteracts the affects of gravity, which is a great...
Imagine whiling away the afternoon at your lakeside camp in the northern Adirondacks when suddenly you get a hankering for crème brûlée. With a simple phone call, an innovative service based out of Lake Placid can deliver just about anything over land and water. It's called Camp Concierge and it's the brainchild of two young Adirondacker women who understand that escaping the city doesn't...
More in the way of open air cinema, this time in fair Long Island City.
