 Dr. Richard Massey "What I have witnessed over the last 15 years leaves me in awe of the body's healing wisdom. It seems nothing is incurable with the use of a few simple tools, the willingness to take an honest look at one's life, and the courage to change. The path of wholeness is our birthright."

The Basics
Be on time! Every minute of a Bikram Yoga class is important. Entering class late is disruptive and disrespectful to other students, and also disrupts your nervous system! During the busy Challenge Season, allow for more traffic and parking time and more crowds to navigate through. Your goal should be to be set up and ready at least 5 minutes before the scheduled class time. This way you can take a few breaths and have an even better class!
Be prepared! Plan the night before so that you have your mat, towels, water bottle, change of clothes, etc. ready for your next day. Hatha yoga is a discipline of the mind as well as the body, so practice this aspect continuously.
Other Etiquette Points
No talking during class!Please refrain from talking during class. Practice stillness in between postures and when transitioning, move quietly. These habits create awareness, enhance concentration, and relax the body and the mind. After class, please continue the silence by exiting the yoga room quietly.
Stay in the yoga room. Once class begins, do your best to stay in the yoga room. In the event that an emergency may require you to leave, please leave and return to your mat in between postures to reduce distracting your fellow classmates.
Be courteous to others. The yoga room is a sanctuary. Please be aware of how your behavior may affect others. Be clean, perfume free, and quiet. No food is allowed.
Keep your eyes on yourself. We practice from the inside out. When you can finish your practice without knowing what the person next to you is wearing or even who else was in the room, you'll know you were truly focused.
Abandon the competitive mind-set. Yoga is absolutely non-competitive. It is not just a "work-out." It is not just "cross-training." It is a practice, which makes the body stronger, more flexible, and generally healthier. But the aim is to calm the mind, open the heart and accelerate our evolution.
Accept who you are. Rest sometimes. "Do what you can, with what you have, with where you are." Remember: "Wherever, whenever in our life we begin yoga, is perfect." No experience or flexibility is required.

Yoga Nutrition, Secrets of Hydration and New Year Priorities
Happy New Year! If you are reading this newsletter you have officially made it to 2013 - that's cause for celebration! How did you celebrate this year? Are you feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and ready for new adventures? Are you excited about and looking forward to what this year has in store?
New Year Priorities
If you are feeling less than enthusiastic, now is the perfect time to do something different. Make some changes, do what you have been promising yourself - put yourself first. Make YOU your highest priority. Fill yourself with your infinite source of life, light and health. Reignite your enthusiasm. Cultivate your confidence from the inside out - believe in yourself and prioritize your health and happiness.
Does putting yourself first sound selfish? Imagine your life now that you have been cultivating your own health and happiness for 6 months in a row. What happens to your confidence, your enthusiasm, your joy? What are you doing with your new-found levels of energy, clarity, and optimism?
When I prioritize my own health and happiness, I fill my inner-well. I am happy, optimistic and creative. I think clearly, I find solutions faster, and I am so enthusiastic that I naturally share my energy and excitement with others. Here is the delicious irony: when I make me my highest priority, I have more to give others and I give with more enthusiasm, passion, and presence.
Is it time to re-prioritize yourself? Join one of our cleanses and refocus your life on what is really important: you. The 3-Day PURE Cleanse (juice and smoothie cleanse) and 7-Day New Year's Cleanse (raw food, juice and smoothie cleanse) provide guidance and support with daily emails, recipes, educational videos, and encouragement. You make or purchase your own juices, smoothies, and raw foods to your liking, and we supply the rest.
**Note about our 7-Day New Year Cleanse: Our first event is a live event at Faraday's Kitchen Store with live juicing and smoothie demonstrations on January 5. Our remaining meetings will be virtual; we will have check-ins via phone and web conferences. This new flexible schedule makes your cleanse even easier!**
Yoga Nutrition: Secrets of Hydration and Superfoods
Arttemis and I are excited to share our "Yoga Nutrition" talk on Sunday, January 13, at the downtown studio. Join us promptly at 7:30pm - we have lots to share about the Secrets of Hydration and Superfoods before we do our live juicing demonstration with the Omega VRT350 HD - our FAVORITE juicer!
This is about waaaay more than drinking 8 glasses of water a day. Arttemis will be sharing from the 'Secret Scrolls' on hydration:
- Water Crystals and the Sacred Geometry of Living Water (how to recognize GREAT WATER)
- Cell Membranes and Aquaporins to exchange Living Water (what?! Aquaporins? That's an Arttemis word!)
- How to enhance your PURE Water for better hydration and re-mineralization (Superfoods for Super Hydration!)
- Why Live Juice is a Hydration Superfood
- How to boost your Juice to oxygenate your cells and cleanse your liver, skin, and large intestine
- Using Superfoods to give your body more oxygen, minerals, enzymes, and nutrients.
We look forward to seeing you January 5th for the New Year's Cleanse and January 13th for "Yoga Nutrition: Secrets of Hydration and Superfoods". Happy New Year!
