Dear
The blossoms are opening and giving off their special perfumes and vibrations. April came in with luxurious sun on Easter weekend and as always we Victorians enjoy the mild, refreshing beauty of it all - save for the occasional strange and wonderful hail storm!
Each year during summer we see less of you guys (yes this makes us sad) as naturally people wish to spend more time out doors. In order to take a more proactive step we have decided to add a variety of classes to our summer schedule. Don't scare! Our focus always remains our commitment to Bikram Yoga. Our main focus is our Bikram 90 minute hot class. However we recognise the need at this time of year for some alternative to 'hot inside & hot outside'. Beginning May 20th expect to see some changes for the Summer schedule.
We have some fun events happening this Spring at BYW including Part II of Jan's Anatomy Seminar, a Community Potluck and a 30 Day Challenge that's just in time for summer. Please take a minute to read through the newsletter. Let us know if you have any feedback - we always appreciate hearing from you! Thanks in advance for your time and all the best to you & yours!
Jacqueline, John & the BYW Team

 Circuit training is one of the best ways to build muscle and burn fat at the same time, creating the perfect metabolic environment. If you've never circuit trained before, get ready for a killer workout that will leave your muscles burning and your heart pumping. What is Circuit Training?Circuit training is a method of working out that combines strength training reps with short bursts of cardio. You quickly move from exercise to exercise, with little to no rest in between. |
You asked for it...and here it is!

$25 + gst
For more information or to register call us at 250 391 1975 or email yoga@bikramwestshore.com
Jan is a yoga and anatomy teacher. She is passionate and profession. Her way of teaching and sharing information makes it easy and fun to learn even a subject that can be dry - like human anatomy! She will use props, a power point presentation and willing volunteers to demonstrate and teach anatomy as it relates to the Bikram Yoga Series. This is a stand alone lecture and you do not need to have attended Part I.

A deep, slow and totally relaxing experience!
Yin Yang Yoga Class
Sundays
7pm - 8:15pm
This class encompasses both an active (yang) portion, and a passive (yin) portion. We'll begin with a yang sequence based on the sun salutations, to gently build heat & strength in the body. In the second part of the class, we'll slow things down with longer held postures that create flexibility and mobility in both the body & mind.
 It is a great practice that helps increase your flexibility and balance your energy flow. This class will be run at approximately 80 degrees F - not hot! It is set to music. Bring a mat, towel and water.
