Happy New Year..!!!
Can you believe it? It is already 2010. All of us experienced so many changes in 2009. What's in store for this year? Regardless, have you made a commitment to your personal yoga practice for this year? Have you set your intentions? Have you looked at your calendar and decided when you will do a 30 or 60 day challenge? By committing to coming to class for 30 or 60 days will help deepen and expand your practice.
On Saturday, January 23rd from 7 to 10pm we will have a Yoga Talk and Dessert party at the studio. Be sure to come to this event. Bring all your questions, your thoughts and ideas on your yoga practice. And if you don't currently practice - still come. You just might get inspired. Feel free to bring your family and friends. There is no charge for this event - though feel free to bring your favorite piece of dessert.
In December we completed the Posture of the Month. Beginning this month we will replace that column with Book of the Month. Be sure to take a look at this months selection. Each month we will highlight a book that many students and teachers have found to be an influence in their yoga practice.

Book of the Month |
This classic yoga book by Bikram Choudhury is the textbook on Bikram Yoga. It describes in detail the yoga that we do and how to do it. If you have not read this book yet, pick one up at the studio today. The book is filled with so many great quotes it was hard to pick just one.
Quote from Page 34:
"Always in Yoga, whether you are beginner or advanced, you are each day pushing your body a little farther. You should think of it like you are an explorer going into new territory. Wise explorer goes slow, for he never knows what is around next bend. All our bodies, every one, is different from the other, no two in the world is the same, and no one can predict where or when you are going to find an Achilles heel, or knee, or hip joint, or veterbra. Only when you go slow can you feel it before you reach it, look it over, know how to treat it, how to make it stronger."
Hope to see you in class today!

Student of the Month |
2009
Students of the Month
Instead of choosing a single student of the month for January, I thought that we would highlight all the students of the month from 2009;
January - Deb Melhase
February - Rich Eckman
March - Rachel Azevedo
April - Emily Rose
May - Philip Robert
June - Hiram Peri
July - Heather Furtney
August - Vacation
September - Mandy Williams and baby Finley
October - Steve Landry
November - Phil and Tricia Brockett
December - Spencer Larson
Each one of these students were highlighted for various reasons. One student had cancer - another a concern of cancer, several dealt with back pain, knee injuries, pregnancy, weight issues and the everyday emotional and mental challenges of life. Mostly though it was because they are all committed to their personal yoga practice. Through this commitment they have learned to move through the various pains and pleasures of life.
Hope to see all of you in class very soon..!!
