2011 - Can you belive it?  It is already a new year.  A new opportunity to re-commit to your life.  Perhaps a life filled with the true joys of the world.  Perhaps a life filled with the energy of love and service to family, friends and the community at large.  Perhaps a life that is true to you. 

 

Often times life throws us curve balls.  Perhaps on a daily basis.  What is it that you do when that happens?  Sometimes maybe anger and frustration occur, other times perhaps a calm reflection is experienced.  What ever does happen - let it happen - try not to hold it in.  Sometimes that holding in can cause too much emotional and even physical pain.  Then knots come up in the body and mind.   Of course Bikram Yoga is a wonderful way to stay healthy, centered and relaxed throughout the day. 

 

A couple of questions to reflect on:

 

What would you do if nothing could hold you back?

 

What do you do when you fail?

 

How can I be of service to others?

 

Perhaps take a moment to reflect on your answers and see how they can change over time. 

 

Happy New Year and hope to see you in class today!!

Quote of the Month
  
"Keys to success I keep telling you about, they are not
some dusty old philosophy.  They are twenty-four karat
gold, studded with diamonds and rubies - exciting and glamorous.  And they all belong to you. 
All you need is to believe in yourself."

Bikram Choudhury
Bikram's Bikram Yoga Class Book,  pg. 147

Student of the Month
Joann Baron

What can be said about a fellow yoga practitioner who always has a smile on her face?  Even after a long day of work Joann  manages to come to class ready to sweat it all out.  Ready to bend, twist and stretch.  Joann puts it all in perspective by what she says:
 
"Bikram Yoga is a huge part of my life and lifestyle.  It has helped me to be the best I can be - a better wife, mother and
co-worker.  My job as manager of a busy Aveda Salon is to care about people here and all over the world.  To open your heart and listen, to truly care about the world you live in.  I have been able to pass on this life experience to my daughter, who also practices Bikram four or five times a week.  She hopes one day to teach or even own her own Bikram Yoga studio."
 
That pretty much sums it up.  Next time you see Joann be sure to congratulate her on being Student of the Month and contributing so much love to her family, friends and the community!
