There's this teeny, tiny exercise studio that has these machines that vibrate, like really hard, and a lot. The machines are called PlateFit, and they were designed for Russian astronauts to stay in shape in space, but they're now being used by L.A. fitness fanatics to keep their bodies smokin'......

Ryan Seaman is a maestro when it comes to massage. He's strong, intuitive and likes to dig really (really) deep, bending the laws of space and gravity and physics to reach otherwise inaccessible nooks and crannies in desperate need of touch and release.

You've probably seen them draped in long white dresses at MOCA, perched on sculptural geometric shapes at Art Basel or leaping high above the Santa Monica Mountains on Nowness, in that dreamy video for The Acid's "Basic Instinct." And, if you haven't, you will. WIFE — a performance trio composed......

Arguably the most esoteric of the yoga lineages to make its way to the West, Kundalini yoga is beginning to infiltrate the mainstream.
