Greetings!
 Happy New Year! In case you haven't seen the new t-shirts, the theme for 2011 is Community Unity. What this means is that we will find more ways to feel and express our unity with others through projects, services, offering support, receiving help, and generally being less isolated and more together! So keep up your yoga and meditation practice - it will really help you have a lot more fun this year!
Read below for some big new things that are happening at the studio this month!

Tell us Your Yoga Story!
Have you had the chance to apply something you learned in class to your life outside of class? We would love to hear from you.
For example, Leslie Vara (who works at the front desk and is a 200 hour graduate) wrote this about a recent accident she had:
"I did have a scary fall. However, I think I am coming out of it only with a big bruise and a scraped knee. I am sure that because I practice yoga, meditation and eat Sunrider I didn't break or strain something. Luckily, I have some good advisors from the studio that gave me some good advice on how to care for it and I seem to be recovering fairly quickly. By following their advice of drinking at least three Fortune Delights a day and laying with my legs up the wall, and using lots of Sunbreeze the swelling has already gone down and I have full range of motion in my knee. My partner also suggested that probably the reason I didn't break or strain something is because I do yoga and meditation. Thank you for asking!"

You're Already One Step Ahead!
New studies highlight yoga and weight loss.
 In a recent article from Life Extension giving tips on jump starting a weight loss program, yoga is highlighted - but for a different reason than you may think. Two studies, one from 2005 and a follow up in 2009, have found that yoga - because it teaches mindfulness - helps prevent weight gain by teaching mindfulness in eating.
"Regular yoga practice is associated with mindful eating, and people who eat mindfully are less likely to be obese. Mindful eating is a skill that augments the usual approaches to weight loss, such as dieting, counting calories and limiting portion sizes. Adding yoga practice to a standard weight-loss program may make it more effective."

Upcoming Healthy Living Classes
Join Aadil and Bella for these Healthy Living classes on Tuesdays from 7:30-8:30 in Studio 3. (By the way, Bella emails the upcoming topic each Monday. Please email her if you would like to be on her list: bella@aadil.com)
January 18: Transforming Greed and Jealousy Greed and Jealousy are two powerful words that we feel in ourselves and judge in others. Learn how to understand these emotions and what to do about the energy they represent.
January 25: Having Dreams and Making Them Come True Many of us dream of winning the lottery, taking a big vacation, finding the lover of our dreams or having more time to do what we love. Join Aadil as he talks about taking dreams from being wishes to becoming a reality.
Feb 1: Fountain of Youth There really is a fountain of youth. It simply requires a regular asana and meditation practice, a carefully selected nutritional program, and a yogic attitude toward living. Aadil will discuss nutrition (with a focus on Life Extension) and cultivating a yogic attitude.
