• Keeping Your Resolutions

  

  Here's an article from the Huffington Post that we thought had some helpful tips for making your New Year's resolutions work for you:
  

  1.  Focus on the Internal
  

  This year, forget about losing those last ten pounds and make a resolution to make this your healthiest year yet, or instead of resolving to get a manicure every week, promise yourself that you'll do one thing every day that helps move your career forward. If you focus on the bigger and more important reasons for your resolution, you'll be constantly reminded of the importance of keeping it.

• Win-Win Solution

  
  

  If you've ever read "Soul Etiquette" on the SC website, you may have noticed rule number four.  It reads, "Laundry:  Wear Clean Clothes.  We ride close together so we can feel and feed on each other's energy.  That being said your neighbor does not want to feed off your odor."

  But sometimes it's not all that simple.

• Soul Food: O'cookies

  Well here's a decadent, guilt-free solution:  O'cookies.

• Soul Loves: Fiberwig

  

  It’s happened to the best of us.  You emerge from your spin class, walk down the street, and ride the subway home only to find that you’ve been sporting raccoon eyes, courtesy of your mascara.  That’s why SoulCycle loves  Imju Fiberwig mascara. The Japanese brand (famous for its lash-lengthening abilities) is resistant to oil, sweat and tears.  A mascara that you can wear to work and a Laurie Cole class? 

  I think we're in love.

• Meet MB

  Instructor extraordinaire, MB Regan, talks to SoulCycle about her classes, her music and her name.
  

  

  SC:  How did you get into spinning? 
  
  
  MB:  In the late 90s I went to a Debby Rocker workshop at Equinox.  And then I just really understood it because before I thought "Oh it’s a bike, it doesn’t move.  Come on, what’s the point?"

• Meet Brooke Williams

  Meet Brooke Williams as she discusses the Tribeca art installation and the SoulCycle family.

  
  

  

  
  
  SC:  Why don't you start by describing the installation, or at least how you envision it.
  
  BW:  The plan, as far as we know, is going to be a wall of Polaroids in the neighborhood of 18 feet wide by 6 ft high--about 1200 images in total arranged within a grid.

• Introducing...The Soul Blog

  

  
  

  Soul, Soul and more Soul...we've become practically insatiable.  In the beginning we rode twice week; soon we jumped to four rides; and now we often need to double just to scratch that itch. 

  We think about Soul, we talk about Soul and on particularly stressful days we  dream about Soul.  Which begs the question... how can we get even more SOUL?

  The answer?  The SoulCycle Blog.  Now, anytime you feel like a little extra soul, you can come here to read interviews with instructors, stock up on healthy recipes, and find out everything that SoulCycle loves – from songs to books to restaurants. 

  Just one request:  try to refrain from reading the blog on your Blackberry while riding.

  That could be dangerous.
