I’ve been practicing yoga for 11 years now, six of which I’ve spent as a teacher. In my experience, people who are new to yoga have trouble stabilizing their muscles to find balance even when both of their feet are on the ground. Cueing a student to engage their core and them actually feeling that

Brie Larson has long been one of our fitness inspirations for the way she constantly and creatively challenges her body. The “Captain Marvel” star’s push-up variations, pull-up holds, and superhero ab workouts are not for the faint of heart. But even when she pushes her body to the extreme, Larson keeps her priorities straight: she’s

When Nia Dennis graduated from UCLA last spring, she knew she still had some gymnastics opportunities ahead of her, namely the Gold Over America Tour with a rockstar roster of world-class gymnasts, many of whom she grew up competing against. There was also an electric, flip-filled appearance on the 2021 Met Gala steps (no big

If you’ve seen those videos floating around on social media to take a photo of yourself now, and then again six months from now, Jaimmy Koroma shared this amazing video in response. She says, “There’s nothing wrong with looking exactly the way you do now, six months from now.” When asked about her inspiration behind

Many of us hopped on the fitness tracker bandwagon a few years ago, myself included. Did I, at one point, wear both a FitBit and an Apple Watch? Why yes, yes I did. (I’m down to just the Apple Watch now, if you were wondering.) And while tracking your steps, stands, and minutes of exercise

If you’re familiar with the debilitating pain of plantar fasciitis, which is often caused by running, a new treatment is on the horizon: body-fat injections. According to findings from a small study (with only 14 participants), published Tuesday in the journal “Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery,” researchers found that injecting fat into the sole of the

In episode nine of “Sex and the City” spinoff “And Just Like That,” Charlotte York Goldenblatt is excited to kiss her periods goodbye as she heads into menopause. But then she experiences unexpected bleeding — a “flash period” (while wearing an all-white jumper, of course!). What is this kind of unexpected bleeding? What Is a

Polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS, affects up to 12 percent of Americans with female sex organs who are of childbearing age. When diagnosing PCOS, doctors look for two or more of the following: high levels of androgens (male hormones), a large number of immature ovarian follicles, and periods that are either abnormal, irregular, or absent.

Activist Drew Pavlou hopes to raise enough money to print 1,000 shirts posing the question “Where is Peng Shuai?” with the intent of handing them out for free at the 2022 Australian Open women’s singles final. Concerns about Peng, a tennis player representing China, remain — she disappeared from the public eye last fall after

I’ve gone to saunas for years, and I thoroughly enjoy how I feel after a 30-minute sweat session. There are a number of benefits to regularly going to a sauna, including improved sleep, athletic performance, and mood. I can attest to having a more restful night’s sleep after spending time in a sauna. Plus, it’s

When she takes part in the 2022 Beijing Games, German speed skater Claudia Pechstein, 49, will be the oldest woman ever to compete at a Winter Olympics, NBC Sports reports. She turns 50 on February 22, just two days after the closing ceremony. She is also the second person — and only woman — to

Despite being a firm advocate for CBD tea after a long, tough day, I will admit that I didn’t have much faith in topical CBD products. I’d seen them heavily advertised and considered them somewhere in the range of gluten-free topical products — mostly pointless. I’m not even very big on working out (especially during

Gymnasts Jordan Chiles and Jade Carey competed together at the Tokyo Olympics — Chiles was part of the four-woman American squad that earned silver in the artistic gymnastics team competition, while Carey claimed floor gold as one of two individual athletes on the women’s side repping the US. They both showcased their talent at the

My trusty old foam roller is still one of my favorite tools for workout recovery, which is why I was immediately intrigued by the Hyperice Vyper Go ($149). It’s described as a vibrating foam roller, which just sounds like a perfect piece of equipment — a handheld massager and a foam roller wrapped into one.

As the name implies, this product is literally designed to replenish and support the skin’s moisture levels. While moisturizer may be your dry skin MVP, it’s not the only player that

In a new interview, Jessica Chastain says getting access to birth control quite literally changed her life, and she credits Planned Parenthood for making it possible. Chastain had a difficult childhood, she tells The Sunday Times. She was born to a single mother who got pregnant in her teens; “I’m the first person in my

On September 1, 2021, the state of Texas passed a new abortion ban, threatening the foundation of the landmark Supreme Court decision for 1973’s Roe v Wade. The Senate Bill 8 (SB 8) drastically limits the ability of organizations like Planned Parenthood to provide abortion care in Texas beyond six weeks of pregnancy, and sometimes
