It’s very rare to meet someone who knows about VortexHealing,” Simon tells me as I lay on the massage table in the living room of his six-floor West Village walkup. “There are only nineteen ‘Merlins’ (Vortex teachers) in the world, but you’ll see, in ten years it will be as popular as Reiki.”

It’s not often that a culture jam is able to rip so effectively into destructive eco-practices and wretched marketing tactics. While Kleenex wants to celebrate the cathartic, cleansing practice of crying into their tissues, those very same tissues come from 100% virgin wood fiber from the Canadian Boreal forests (aka “The Lungs Of North America”).

In celebration of our mother earth’s April rain, I will be sharing with you a simple RainDance dressing that makes tree bark taste fantasic! Salad dressing can make a bowl of mixed greens transform into a delightful meal that’s kind on the pocket book. When first adjusting to eating more salads I relyed on […]

Maybe you find yourself coming up against the same wall of tension or resistance in familiar postures, despite having moved in and out of them innumerable times.
