THE CHECK-IN

Inspired by the flavors of Japanese kani salad, made with cucumber, imitation crab, and mayonnaise, this version features jumbo lump crab and dairy-free avocado oil mayonnaise. The crab provides vitamin B12 and zinc, in addition to a sweet, briny flavor that works well with the refreshing cucumber. Since cucumber is high in moisture, squeeze out as much water as possible after it’s seeded and julienned. Masago, an orange fish roe often found in sushi rolls, is an optional garnish, and can be found in the fish department of many grocery stores.

This supported supine hero’s pose opens up the chest and provides back pain-relief. Hold for one minute and do it twice every day.

Here’s how:

Place a folded blanket over a yoga mat and sit with knees together, legs bent, and feet pointed and resting to the sides of hips. Place a bolster lengthwise behind you, then lean back, lying down on bolster. Straighten arms on the ground above head.

“Know what drives you and what inspires you to do things in life,” says Lexa Henwood, Tier 3 trainer at Bryant Park and Soho in New York City, who is featured in Equinox’s Welcome Forward campaign video. “There’s always a good reason and something that’s really heartfelt. For Miles [Chamley-Watson, the hero of the video], when he hits limits, his passion for his sport helps him push past it. Having that ‘why’ makes you that much tougher and that much more confident and more driven. That is what will push you further to reach those goals and exceed those limits that you think you cannot reach.”
