TRUE/SLANT interview with Daniel Lucas

“I walked away from the conversation impressed; his [Daniel Lucas] was a sophisticated point of view with which I agreed. When change comes through the transmission of information, online and off can be equally effective. Sometimes a really good video-demo can be like an in-person trainer, especially when that trainer does not work interactively.” -Todd Essig

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, in conjunction with the Times Square Alliance and the Fashion Center Business Improvement District, has reinvented the corner of 8th Avenue and 41st Street at the Port Authority Bus Terminal. What was once an empty retail space is now an exhibition area and boutique shop for some of New York’s finest design and fashion. In honor of the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, the space is being transformed into what could be one of largest, most eclectic collections of sustainable, responsible products and companies.

Education & Learning

I love learning from great teachers!  I just spent four days diving into the neurofascial system with Sue Hitzman, the creator of the M.E.L.T method.  What Sue has done is organize more information than I can express into a system that just makes sense.  I’ve mentored with several great body workers and learned a great deal but Sue is really bringing it all together with effective language, a simplistic approach to her method and a passion for making it achievable for everyone.

Awesome!

If you want to elevate your performance and overall body awareness, Nimble Fitness will be holding these M.E.L.T. workshops in the near future.   Keep a look out for our calendar schedule coming soon.

Namaste
Daniel

Breaking The Cycle

Braking the Cycle (BTC) is an annual AIDS bicycle ride in support of the HIV/AIDS services of the Manhattan LGBT Community Center. For 2009 BTC will span three days (Sept. 11-13) and 275 miles – from Boston to NYC.

Since 2003, BTC has delivered $1.8 million to fund the HIV/AIDS services of the LGBT Center.

Our friend, Mika De Roo (right), rode all 275 miles of BTC 2008, from Gettysburg to New York; she had never completed a bike ride of more than 85 miles prior to that summer. She also raised nearly $12,500 from over 140 individuals.

To help Mika meet her 2009 fundraising goal of $10,000, click here.
