We’ve profiled some seriously fit, smart and sassy women in the past few months. Being breast cancer awareness month, we thought it was time to introduce you to someone new. Meet the incredible Amy Tadelis: breast cancer survivor, mom of four, yoga teacher and a seriously inspiring lady. Amy was only 28 when she discovered a lump in her […]

A few words, assembled in just the right way, can stir your soul, incite action, realign your focus, or simply put a smile on your face.   Yup, […]

The ritual reenergizes me, […]

The humble mooncake, a Chinese pastry eaten during the Mid Autumn Festival, has been reinvented. And thank the Lunar Gods for that! A typical mooncake will set you back 1,000 unhealthy calories — half a day’s worth. But not MAYYA Movement’s handpicked alternatives. Gone is the flour, the salted duck eggs, the generous lashing of lard and […]
