Personal Revolution Starting Soon

Our next Personal Revolution kicks off January 2nd 2009 - join in the fun!

50 classes in 13 weeks (5x/week) or 40 classes in 13weeks (4x/week) --January 2 to April 2, 2009.
 
An Inner Fire Yoga Personal Revolutionary is an inspired and dedicated yogi/yogini who has achieved a group goal to practice a set number of yoga classes per week for a period of time. Usually this goal is 4 or 5 times per week for 2 or 3 months. Inner Fire Yoga typically offers this effort as a group 3 to 4 times per year. Students are energized and transformed from the experience!

After experiencing her blissful Vitality Massage IFY Student Carol Chvala remarked, "Rich is very talented. We are lucky to have him. He has told me that there are muscles that he can work on to correct my posture. This shows me that massage is not
just a 'feel, good' hour... It really is corrective therapy."

Namaste Inner Fire Yogis!

Can you believe that there is over a foot of snow on the ground and winter hasn't officially started?!  Nothing feels better than a hot yoga class on a cold day.  So don't let your yoga practice falter now, especially if you find the holidays to be stressful, or full of "cheer" in form of food, sweets and drinks.  Your yoga practice will help you feel balanced and detoxified.

Congratulations to all 36 yogis who achieved the latest Personal Revolution!  The testimonials are wonderful to read and they prove time and again that a regular, dedicated yoga practice is positively transforming.   (The new testimonials will be posted soon our website, so be sure to check it regularly.)  Gear up for our next Personal Revolution, starting January 2nd!  (Read more in the left column, the next Revolution has two options and is longer.)
 
Please be sure to contemplate the GIFT OF PEACE offers currently available at Inner Fire Yoga.  We have three wonderful offers to choose from (read more below).  If you are practicing regularly at Inner Fire Yoga and can see yourself continuing indefinitely, then be sure to take advantage of the 12 months unlimited on sale until Dec. 31.  When practicing 3x per week, that is just $6.08 a class!  Plus, the savings versus the monthly autopay is over $350 in the year.marits family

I love this photograph taken of my family this past Autumn.  It is amazing the photographer was able to capture all three of our happy faces at the same time!  Anyway, I personally want to share goodwill to you and your families from mine during the holiday season.  May 2009 bring peace and joy to all.  (Photo by C&N Photography.)

Keep yoga-ing!

Student Spotlight

Alana Martin
 

Innerfire Yoga is a gift I give to myself daily.  My yoga practice is a moving meditation that allows me breath and movement to strengthen physically, mindfulness to move on the mat, and a source of joy in the energy of this yoga community.  These are powerful reasons to return to InnerFire Yoga to engage my body-mind and spirit!

Finding Innerfire Yoga has helped me to become physically strong and disciplined. Through beginning Bikram Yoga, I have experienced weight loss, loss of inches and generally a lighter being in my body.  Detoxing in the heated studios has been a benefit to me in reducing colds, flu and loss of energy. I believe that this yoga is even helping me to age more gracefully!

Adding Vinyasa Flow classes to my Bikram schedule, I have found the balance and calm needed to guide me through recent challenges. My yoga practice has positively affected every aspect of my life.  I look forward to coming to practice each day with studio members and I am grateful to  Marit, teachers and staff for creating such a special space.
