Happy holidays to you from all of us at Bikram Yoga El Cajon and La Mesa.  This is the time of year when folks are surrounded by friends and family.  We send the warmest of wishes to you, our friends and, yes, our family, to have a merry and peace-filled season.

Namaste.

 

 

October kicked off our monthly referral contests and are winners were: 

1st - Jasleen N. (1 month unlimited yoga)

2nd -  Cynthia R. (2 piece yoga outfit)

3rd - Nancy M. (1 piece of women's clothing)

Our referral contests will continue as a monthly event with only one winner and one prize; one month unlimited yoga.  For every referral a student brings in, one ticket will be entered into a drawing for that month's winner.  The more people you introduce to yoga, the more chances you earn to win free yoga!

 

We will begin a 30 day challenge starting January 1st.  New year's is a busy time of year but this is an excellent opportunity to push yourself and see just what you can accomplish!  We invite you to test yourself and find your inner strength.  For only $25 paid once a year, you can utilize both the La Mesa and El Cajon studios.  The class schedules are deliberately staggered to give you maximum options for practice.   

MEDICAL BENEFITS

• Strengthens and tones the abdomen
• Open-mouth exhalation stimulates the diaphragm and eliminates toxins from the lungs
• Re-aligns spine in preparation for a new posture
•  Increases strength and flexibility of lower spine
• Strong exhale also invigorates the body and increases energy levels
• Strengthening your abdomen will in turn strengthen your back

 

Please arrive to class on time and be in the studio with your mat prior to the lights coming on.

• Besides the benefits to your breathing, pranayama breathing insures that you are warmed up when starting the standing postures.  It is important to be warmed up prior to beginning the standing postures to prevent injury.
• You may be locked out of class.  While we currently have personnel to work the front desks, there are days when there may be no one to check in late students and the doors will be locked after class begins.  
• Please be courteous to other students.  Late arrivals disrupts the concentration of the class.  Please keep others in mind and enter quietly if you are late.
• Both of our studios are located in major shopping malls.  It's the holidays and traffic is terrible!  Please take into consideration that there will be extra traffic and less parking available this month.  Arriving earlier ensures that you will arrive on time and unstressed.
• Check in with the front desk before every class, even if you are late.  Please sign in with the front desk before you enter class.  It is difficult to track down students afterwards and the front desk staff may be gone for the day when class ends.  If you are late, you must still check in and be entered into class.
