MRI Consultants opened its doors five years ago, at the beginning of a great recession! And, we have done well. One of the reasons I left my old office was that they refused to invest in new MRI equipment (like people who keep their old TV instead of switching to a hi-def flat screen). They thought the old technology was “good enough” and that the new technology (3-Tesla and OPEN Bore magnets) was too expensive. “Not ready yet,” they said.

For those of you who read my bimonthly column in the Women’s Journal, you are familiar with before and after photos of many of our patients, illustrating the improvements in their smile.

It’s easy to get caught up in the magic of holidays in Delaware. Everyone seems to be in a better mood, and all of the hustle and bustle – including shopping, parties, and visiting with loved ones – makes the cold weather a little easier to bear. Of course, making merry has its price, as travel can be especially dangerous during this time of year.

When I was a kid, if I was ever feeling grumpy, my dad would lift me up, flip me upside down,and say “here’s a new perspective on life.” Without fail, by the time he placed me back on my feet, I always had a smile on my face. I still get this feeling of euphoria when I become grounded after an inversion. Except now my inversions come in the form of yoga postures. Perhaps it was the “new perspective” I was shown as a child that drew me to Aerial Yoga. As a young adult I thought it was all about the perspective, but as I came to study Aerial Yoga, I realized that the benefits of being turned upside down extend far beyond just having a new perspective.
