Ardha Kurmasana
1/2 Tortoise pose
|  |
Once you get past the opening of the shoulders and
the hips, ardha kurmasana becomes a very relaxing and soothing posture.
Although you must use strength throughout the posture, which begins with
stretching the arms up overhead and maintaining the strength. The
posture must be approached by slowly bringing the upper body down with
straight spine working towards bringing the head on the floor first.
This posture helps build strength in the core area, mainly abdomen and
back muscles. The practice of bringing the upper body down slowly and
with a straight spine, will help keep the hips on the heels longer and
eventually maintaining that contact throughout the posture.
This posture mainly helps to stretch and
lengthen the entire spine and also helps to open shoulder and hip
joints. The head below the heart helps to bring fresh oxygenated blood
to the brain, which helps mental clarity. Also, there is much internal
stretching to the organs inclusive of the stretch to the lower portion
of the lungs that will help with respiratory problems. This posture is
also a great release for tension in the neck and shoulder area. Also,
helps cure digestive problems and insomnia.

Greetings!
I hope this finds you all well, and that
you have been having a wonderful summer, enjoying this beautiful weather
(and our beautiful island) to the fullest. But now, just like every
other year, whether we are ready or not, summer is winding down and it
is time to start gearing up for fall. The new school year is starting,
and it is the perfect time to get back to those things you didn't have
time for while the gorgeous weather was calling you to be outside.
Around the studio, we are looking forward to fall, because fall always means we get to see a lot of "happy smiling faces" returning. So drop by and see us! Take a class. Detox from a summer of "too much good stuff".
And
this fall, we are making it even easier for you to get here! In
addition to the fantastic sale above, as of September 7, we will be
returning to our "regular" schedule, with a couple of bonus classes!! A later class, (8pm on Wednesday nights), and an extra class on Saturday mornings. (8am and 10 am). The new schedule is below, with changes marked in red. Hope to see you all soon!
Namaste

|  Ever done a 30 day challenge?
You may have heard people talk about doing a challenge. You've probably seen the big chart up on the wall at the studio. But maybe you've never found the right time to do a challenge yourself. It's a commitment for sure. But if you're going to make a commitment, who better to make it to, than yourself?!?
A 30 day challenge can transform the way you view yourself, and the world. Practice Bikram yoga every day, for 30 days. See what happens! We will be running a 30 day challenge starting in a few weeks. When you see the chart go up, put your name on it. Join us for 30 days of yoga torture, and feel the joy!
(Plus...there's stickers!!) |
