February Hot Sheet
February 2014
Dear

"You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them."      Michael Jordan

How's it going with your goals for 2014 so far? Whether you are right on track or completely off the rails - at this point take a look, adjust accordingly and point yourself in the direction that brings the most joy. If your health and fitness goals need a boost your hot yoga practice can support whatever that involves. The yoga provides your body with the flexibility and resilience as you work to heal, strengthen, slim down - whatever the current plan may be. Plus it provides your mind the calm to enjoy the ride!  
 
Thank you for taking a couple of minutes to check out our February newsletter. It contains important schedule information and news about events and promotions that are happening at the studio and in the West Shore community! Use the 'quick links' area to the right to find what you are looking for. We hope you will find it fun and informative.

The BYW January 30 Day Challenge is wrapping up and it looks like many of our Challengers will be sporting a BYW Challenge shirt.  Everyone who completes at least 25 classes in 30 days will get entered into a draw for some awesome prizes: health and beauty treatments, a photo session, class cards, memberships, GC's to local businesses and more!  Good luck and stay strong,  you are almost done.

They say our attitudes control our lives. Attitudes are a secret force working 24 hours a day. It is really important to learn to harness and control this great force. Your yoga practice can be of service in this area of your life. Here are a few links to some great articles on the subject:

Change takes time, patience and persistence and the nature of our attitudes can make or break our ability to create positive and lasting changes. You will find that at Bikram Westshore we are committed to maintaining a positive attitude and creating a positive energetic space where your mind and body can thrive!  
 
"People may hear your words, but they feel your attitude."        John C. Maxwell
