Having made a career out of comic roles, Govinda now wants to switch to action. He is really working hard on his physique and has got himself a martial arts and physical trainer. I now want to do an action film with stunts of an international calibre. I don't want to just plunge into it without being fully prepared. I've already lost a lot of weight. But it isn't enough. I want to lose some more," said Govinda. The actor recently discovered yoga and he says it has changed his lifestyle completely.

"Becoming a parent can be a real epiphany for people - for the first time, they really start to worry about the way the world is headed," says Lucy Jewson, co-founder of Frugi, which sells organic baby clothes. "It's a fresh start and a chance to 'do it right' this time." Over half of all baby food sold in the UK is organic and it seems parents are no longer stopping at what they put "in" their baby, but "on" them too. "Part of it is to do with the fact that one in five children now suffers from eczema - compared to just three per cent of children in the Fifties," believes Jewson. "But it's also because people are realising conventional cotton is not the 'natural' product everyone assumes.

Grab your yoga mat. You're about to learn about a mind-body exercise like no other. For the past decade Minnesota-based yoga instructor Matthew Sanford has been showing people what they can do with their bodies when then open their minds. What makes his approach different is he does it all from his wheelchair. Sanford was in a car accident nearly 30 years ago that killed his father and sister and left him paralyzed. He's been practicing yoga for 17 years now because he says he wasn't ready to forget about the parts he couldn't feel.

In this yoga class, forget the "ohms." The participants are more likely to bark during a downward-facing dog, or to moo and meow while stretching into the cat and cow poses. At Lumina at Longfellow in Wayland, Mass., a group of 6- to 9-year-olds are led through a set of creative movement stretches by instructor Carol Kagen. The class is focused on fun, and blends yoga poses with games and activities, providing kids with an energy outlet and a means of relaxation. "Here's the challenge," Kagen says. "We're going to see if we can sing 'Row, Row, Row Your Boat,' while we hold the pose."

It was 1998, and an analysis of breast milk from Swedish women was showing that concentrations of PBDEs, a close chemical cousin of long-ago-banned PCBs, were doubling every five years. PBDEs have been used for twenty years as a fire retardant in items from furniture to televisions to children’s pajamas; now, the researchers reported, they were in us.

Truth is, I am secretly glad the step aerobics craze cooled. I took some step classes on occasion -- either on assignment (you're talking to a guy who wrote a "Real Men Do Aerobics" cover story for New York magazine back in 1981) or to join my girlfriend-now-wife as we squeezed whatever time we could get together living in two different cities. It's just that I never could get the hang of getting up and down on the raised portable platform in front of me without losing the count and becoming out of sync with a roomful of women who clearly were not challenged by the maneuver. And that was before the instructor shouted out, "Now, grapevine!" leaving me to wonder what in world she wanted us to do next. I left every class figuring I should know that already.

From the pages of every mainstream women's magazine-between the list of 43 things every confident woman knows and the six-week ab-blasting plan-the ads beckon. Conditioners enriched with vitamins vow to make each strand 10 times stronger. Undereye concealers containing white-tea antioxidants claim to combat the cellular damage that deepens those oh-so-unsightly dark circles. Pricey foundations promise to rejuvenate the face at the molecular level with the new Pro-Xylane compound, carefully extracted from Eastern European beech trees. These days, more and more personal care products are promising to harness the power of nature to beautify us from the inside out. Makeup doesn't merely make us look good, we're told-now it's good for us, too.

Dreamwork can be a powerful tool. Everyone dreams, but do dreams have the power to heal? Some people think so, including the late Swiss Psychiatrist Carl Jung, who believed that dreams are a "little hidden door in the innermost and most secret recesses of the soul." Tools to enhance dream recall are offered.
