Lauren would have never anticipated that yoga would be part of her daily life. A California girl raised on athletic fields, swimming pools, and basketball courts, she traveled east for the Princeton classrooms, and after graduating, moved to New York for life as a young Wall Street professional. She turned to yoga – hesitantly at first – as a way to diversify her Manhattan treadmill workouts. She soon realized that with regular practice, on and off the mat, yoga can change you from the inside, out - as well as from the outside, in. She realized the power to deconstruct what she thought was true, and reconstruct her ideal self, in her ideal world. In Spring 2009 Lauren resigned her job at Morgan Stanley to launch I.AM.YOU., a lifestyle brand and yoga studio in Little... Read the profile >>

Tom’s earliest school memories are of running cross-country at the age of 8. Tom doesn’t seem to remember much else from that era, so we think it's safe to say that Tom likes his running. So obviously Tom is not a happy chap when injuries prevent him from greeting the morning sun. Shin splints, ankle sprains, orthopedic inserts and lower back issues ignited a thorough form self-assessment in an effort to stay healthy. Tom got more in return than he could have hoped for, and has since conquered marathons, organized and participated in a 50km charity run around the circumference of Manhattan, finished a 50-miler at altitude, and cremated his orthopedic inserts with pride. We get the feeling this is just the beginning… With a thorough knowledge in Evolution and Chi Running, Tom... Read the profile >>
