Five Simple Steps to Enhance Your Yoga Practice

 

Jamie Smile

 

1. Arrive 15 minutes before class and relax in the room.

2. Breath calm and normal during class.

3. Follow the teachers timing as you come in

     & out of the posture.

4. Move to a new spot each day in class.

5. Commit to a 30 day challenge.

  

Whether you are a new student or have practiced for years, learning to keep your practice simple will give you more out of your life. In other words - always keep a beginners mind. When you do that you will smile and feel at peace.

Michael's Book

 

Michael BW Book

 

Over the last several months Michael has had an almost total focus on writing and completing his first book. Though it could change, the working title of the book is "Walking Through the Pain." This book is a memoir of how Michael overcame critical health issues and addictions. Currently he is discussing with his writing coach, agents and publishers the best way to release his first book. At this early juncture the book has received a great deal of attention and praise. Michael was selected and invited to discuss the book in October with over 100 national print, radio and tv media at a prestige five day publicity event in New York City.

Quote of the Month
 
 "Just do the next right thing."

October 2011
Student of the Month
 
 Susan Adams 
  
Susan Adams 
 
In just the first 10 weeks since Susan has started at Bikram Yoga, she has attended class 58 times.That is almost six times a week! She would've come more, but is often gone on weekends. Regardless, that is a rousing start to her practice. Susan is a cycling instructor, BodyPump instructor and a RPM (spinning) instructor and thought she was in good shape. Quickly she realized that Bikram took her to a new level of fitness. 
 
Susan mentions that she has lost 15 pounds and that her skin has improved greatly. She has noticed a dramatic increase in her flexibility, higher energy and always gets a good nights sleep. Her running has become much more smooth and fluid. As a skydiver, full locust pose really helped her to arch more while in free fall. I think we need a picture of that!
 
Susan is a nurse has felt quite stressed at times with work. Now her attitude has gone back to bubbly and beyond. In her own words, "Now I have my yogi buddies... I relieve my stress, I'm in better shape...I love how I look and feel...and it's getting better every day!!
 
Next time you see Susan be sure to congratulate her on being Student of the Month..!!
