Yogini Kristin McGee Dishes on Bethenny Frankel's Fave Pose and Getting Ready For Beach Season

Lizzie Fuhr — Wed, 23 May 2012 00:36:21 PDT

I was lucky enough to take a class taught by Manhattan-based yoga teacher Kristin McGee right here in San Francisco! Although one busy lady, Kristin traveled across the country to teach Vinyasa Vibes (a new offering at The Sports Club/LA), a flow-based, powerful yoga sequence enhanced by music. The most musical part of the practice? During Savasana, the class culminated in a live sax solo by Grammy-nominated musician Dave Koz. After class, Kristin and I chatted about her yoga journey, getting ready for bikini season, and what it's like working with one of her famous clients, Bethenny Frankel.

FitSugar: Some of the moves in Vinyasa Vibes are Ashtanga-influenced. Is that what your yoga teacher training background was in?
Kristin McGee: My original background was really eclectic because I started in the early '90s. I started taking [yoga] at NYU; some of my very early teachers were Jivamukti teachers who did study Ashtanga. Then I did study with Richard Freedman for a while, who is pure Ashtanga, and Cyndi Lee at OM Yoga. I wanted to get deeper into Iyengar classes and get into the alignment and the detail. Now in my practice I want to get more into Pranayama, more of the breathing, and maybe take some more Kundalini classes. I just feel like it constantly evolves.

FS: The Vinyasa Vibes class has live music during final relaxation. Can you elaborate on the experience of live music and yoga combined?
KM: In yoga practice, it’s a very intimate, immediate place. It's almost like live theater or live music where it brings you right into the moment. Music is a universal language, just like our breath is a universal breath. I think the second we're in this surrounding, in this environment with that live music and the intimacy of a live class, it brings it all together in one beautiful experience.

FS: You’ve collaborated with Bethenny Frankel on some projects. What's her favorite pose?
KM: Bethenny’s all-time favorite pose is Straddle Forward Bend because she says it feels like the weight of the world is falling off of her shoulders. Someone like Bethenny Frankel has a million things going on, and I don’t know how she does it! But I think you also noticed it in the practice tonight. Right when we finally got to that Straddle Forward Hang, it was kind of just like, "Ugh! Such a release!" You feel like you could stay there for quite a while.

Stars Channel the Chicest Spring Style For NYC's What to Expect Premiere - Who's Most Fab?

Hannah Weil — Wed, 09 May 2012 08:21:02 PDT

Last night's What to Expect When You're Expecting premiere drew out the film's stars and style stars alike at NYC's AMC Lincoln Square Theater. There, the night was just as much about the red carpet as it was about the movie, with the film's leading ladies, Brooklyn Decker, Elizabeth Banks, and Cameron Diaz treating us to the chicest kind of Spring dressing. Brooklyn's pal Chrissy Teigen also stepped out to celebrate the movie, opting for a flirty sequin skirt topped with a crisp white blazer. Cameron Diaz played to the menswear trend in an understated white button-down and black trousers, offset with a statement chain necklace. Elizabeth Banks brought the dressiest look in a floral, beaded, and cutout Peter Pilotto sheath, while Brooklyn Decker took a more minimalist approach in a body-skimming white strapless, finished with gold accents and creamy platforms. Each showed off her own brand of seasonal event wear, now we're asking you to pick favorites - who gets your vote for best dressed at last night's premiere?

Met Gala: Julianne Hough

Brittney Stephens — Mon, 07 May 2012 22:11:31 PDT

Julianne Hough may have walked the Met Gala red carpet with boyfriend Ryan Seacrest, but the dancer and actress made a statement in her own right in a hot pink strapless Carolina Herrera dress with black neckline detail and an extravagant fishtail hem. Julianne wore her hair down and in loose waves, and accessorized the standout gown with a pair of chandelier earrings. We love that she chose to go easy on the baubles with such an attention-getting gown; what do you think of her Met Gala look?

Met Gala: January Jones

Brittney Stephens — Mon, 07 May 2012 20:35:43 PDT

It's no surprise that January Jones exudes sex appeal, and tonight's Met Gala red carpet was really her time to shine. The new mom hit the event in a fitted, almost space-age, strapless yellow Versace gown with black leather inserts, accessorizing with a vintage Cartier yellow gold, diamond, and turquoise necklace from 1955. January kept her blond bob stick straight, as to not distract from the architectural aspect of the dress. Do you love January's look?

Nina was one of the best dressed ladies at the 2011 Primetime Emmy Awards in a strapless, red, figure-hugging gown from the designer - what do you think of her latest look?

We are thrilled to share this story from Lauren Conrad! The TV personality, writer, designer, and style maven has started LaurenConrad.com, a social networking site that features daily posts by Lauren on all of our favorite topics - fashion, beauty, food, party planning - and Lauren will be sharing her latest fashion finds with Fab every month. This week, she's sharing her dress picks for prom.

If you're in high school, there is only one thing on your mind right now: Prom! It's one of the quintessential high school experiences that will stick with you for a lifetime. For most of us, it's the first time you really get to dress up like a princess for a night. And because it is such a special night, it calls for a very special dress.

Back when I was in school, gowns were the go-to dress of choice. (Let me tell you, gowns can get pretty pricey.) Thankfully, prom trends have broadened and shorter hemlines have been embraced.

Without further ado, here are a few of my favorite looks for prom along with my top picks for each look listed below . . .

Alice + Olivia Tibby Petal Dress
LC Lauren Conrad Ruffle Chiffon Dress
Paper Crown Wilde Tiered Mini
