Focus on:The Mill on Pemberwick Rd. – Greenwich Yoga Holistic Center and Juice Bar Cafe

admin — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 13:39:22 +0000

For decades, I’ve gone to the Mill on Pemberwick Rd. for one reason; gratifying meals at Centro Ristorante & Bar – for excellent food overlooking a raging dam waterfall. I’ve also tried the “Asian Tapas” place, Bambou, where my shushi cravings were satisfied for less than I’d spend at many other sushi restaurants.

But when I pulled into the upper lot of the old felt mill (which, as I recall from my childhood, turned the Byram river a different vivid color every week), there were groups of people heading to their cars, holding rolled-up Yoga mats. Hmmmm. Yoga on the now fresh and pure river?

Yep – Greenwich Yoga Holistic Center & Juice Bar Cafe – is one-stop shopping to work out the kinks in your mind, body and Karma. At Greenwich Yoga you can, of course, participate in a yoga class ($20 to drop in, $175 10-class card). But you can also schedule all types of massage, acupuncture, reflexology and other holistic offerings. In addition, GY serves fresh organic fruits and smoothies ($4-$10), as well as juice cleanses ($50 per day). And, if all that were not enough, Greenwich Yoga is pick-up point for a Natural Food Co-op.

For now, there are TWO Greenwich Yoga sites;

WEST:328 Pemberwick Rd. @ The Mill

EAST: at the Water Club in Riverside – specializing in baby and children’s yoga

There really is something about working out in a group setting that sets the juices flowing. At least that’s what it did for me, when I walked into the Fitness Edge on 1333 East Putnam Ave. in Greenwich. It’s been awhile since I’ve gone to an actual gym, with rows of machines and lots of sweaty people, but I’m pretty sure that those machines and people were not clad in pink before.

What’s the deal? Well, Fitness Edge is running a special “Breast Cancer Awareness” into rate as well as a donation of a dime a mile for every mile you log on pink CYBEX treadmills throughout October.

A VIP Membership – with 2 comp training sessions, 1 comp Pilates session, use of machines, shower amenities, towel service, sauna and exercise programs – generally entails a $99 start up fee (with monthly dues of $59.95 or $69.95 depending on the number of months purchased). This will be waived – ZERO – through October 31st (monthly dues still apply); just call Lisa at 637-3906. Also, if someone else in your family would like to join, their monthly membership fee is only $29.95.

Got Gold? They’re Buying; Sept. 17th-21st at Greenwich Hyatt

admin — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 21:48:41 +0000

You know that Discovery Channel show called Cash Cab where you get into a cab and it turns into Who Wants To Get Paid for Answering Some Questions During the Ride? Well, this is kind of like that, with no cab. And no questions. But you basically get paid for showing up -this time with unwanted, mismatched or “bad-memories” gold, platinum or silver pieces that happen to be hanging around your house. Come to the Hyatt Regency-Greenwich, 1800 East Putnam Ave. between 10am and 6pm, Sept. 17th-21st with the goods and walk out with a wad of cash.
