305 Yoga has moved five times in 20 years. This month, the North Miami studio celebrates its anniversary in a 100-year-old house that founder Terri Cooper Space bought in 2024, and she’s inviting the whole community to the party. Staying Power Getting to a permanent home meant surviving rising rents, changing neighborhoods and a pandemic.

Everyone sleeps, but not everyone understands much about sleep.

I get that one a lot, and the answer is yes!

Smartwatches have become an increasingly popular way for people to monitor their health and fitness. About 100 million – nearly 4 in 10 – U.S. adults own a smartwatch.

Exploring Miami without a car starts with choosing a neighborhood where the sights fit together on foot. In South Beach, preserved hotels stand across from public beachside paths.

Growing up, my brothers were fascinated by the first “Rocky” movie. They were trying to get stronger and excel in sports, so one scene stood out almost as much as Rocky sprinting up the museum steps: Before sunrise, Rocky cracked raw eggs into a glass and drank them. To a teenager, this raised some questions. Why raw eggs? Was this what you needed to build muscle and become stronger? Curiosity eventually won, but one gulp was enough. The drink was as nasty as it looked. The s

Walk into a gym or wellness store and you might encounter compression boots, smart rings, creatine supplements and ice baths. Their use by elite athletes can function as an implicit endorsement, making them seem more proven or more broadly useful than the evidence supports. It’s easy to assume that if elite athletes do something, it must be effective for everyone. mihailomilovanovic/E_ via Getty Images As an athletic trainer with experience in collegiate and professional spor

For several months during the summer of 2022, my dog Scout vomited at 3 a.m. nearly every day. If you have a dog, you know the sound. And each time, she gobbled up her mess before I could get to it, making diagnosis of the cause difficult.The vet and I eventually settled on my hydrangeas as the source of the problem – but keeping Scout away from them didn’t work. She started to seem tired all the time – highly concerning in a typically hyper yellow Lab puppy. Photo by Sander

You probably already know that how you eat before bed affects your sleep. Maybe you’ve found yourself still lying awake at 2 a.m. after enjoying a cup of coffee with dessert. But did you know that your eating choices throughout the day may also affect your sleep at night? In fact, more and more evidence shows that overall dietary patterns can affect sleep quality and contribute to insomnia.
