Just say NO to plastic.
Together we can make a difference.
As of the 1st of July 2015, BYC is changing its wet kit bag strategy! For many years, we've been providing FREE plastic bags for your wet kit, but, knowing how much plastic is polluting our beautiful planet and negatively impacting our wildlife, we thought it was time to offer a different solution.

We will be providing two wonderful alternatives, that are kinder on the environment as well (of course, you can always reuse your plastic shopping bags):

 1/ Cloth wet kit bags: these will transport your wet kit from studio to home, time and time again.  These bags are 100% waterproof for 4hrs and pretty waterproof for quite some time after that!




2/ Biodegradable bags will be available for 10p at reception. As these bags are compostable, we would advise throwing them out with your food waste and not in the rubbish bin.  

Taking your yoga with you out into the world. 
No matter how small the steps we take, 
we can make a very real difference.



THE HEALTHY ESPRESSO! 
Turmerilicious

Coming this July.... Turmeric Shots! 

Soon to be found in your BYC fridge for only �2 

 

This truly amazing herb has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicines.  Turmeric, the active ingredient of which is curcumin, has anti-inflammatory , immune boosting and blood and liver cleansing properties.  It is a rich source of iron and  beta-carotene and is known for its effectiveness in preventing and  fighting a host of diseases.  So effective, in fact, that an American pharmaceutical company tried to patent it in 1995! 

As well as Tumeric, this powerful shot also contains ginger & lemon.

Ginger contains potent anti-inflammatory compounds called gingerols, which boost immune function.  A study involving 74 volunteers carried out at the University of Georgia, found that daily ginger supplementation reduced exercise-induced muscle pain by 25%. It is also loaded with antioxidants.


 

Lemon: This provides a concentrated dose of Vitamin C and boosts your immune system. Lemons act as a natural diuretic and detoxifier. 

  

All this combines to make one powerful kick-ass shot, 

available NOW at BYC for only �2! 


Remember, Green Juice Organics also sell their refreshing 

ORGANIC Green Juices at BYC for only �4!


 

Why Organic?

New research from Newcastle University, to be published in July 2015, in the British Journal of Nutrition, has shown that organic crops and crop-based foods - including fruit, vegetables and cereals - are up to 60% higher in a number of key antioxidants than their non-organic counterparts.  

As well as more nutritionally rich food, organic means you are avoiding ingesting a cocktail of chemicals. The National Academy of Sciences  in the States reports that 90% of the chemicals applied to foods have not been tested for long-term health effects before being deemed "safe."  

 

By buying organic, you are also making a massive impact ecologically and environmentally: building healthier soil, combating soil erosion, supporting water conservation & water health, and encouraging biodiversity.
 

The Rodale Institute Farming Systems Trail, has been running a side-by-side comparison of conventional and organic agriculture since 1981.  The trial has shown that a healthy organic agriculture system can actually reduce 

carbon dioxide and help slow climate change

In fact, the Rodale research shows that:

"If only 10,000 medium sized farms in the U.S. converted to organic production, they would store so much carbon in the soil that it would be equivalent to taking 1,174,400 cars off the road, or reducing car miles driven by 14.62 billion miles."

 Good for you, Good for your world.
Win Win!

Be.You.Tiful

 



At this time of year especially, everywhere you turn there is a new advert promising you the 'perfect body' and how to be 'beach body' ready. But what is the perfect body and who is to say you don't already have it?! 

Here at BYC, we believe that being healthy is what is truly important.
Health, generosity, kindness, enthusiasm, spontaneity: these are the qualities that make a person beautiful. 

It is easy to say it, but not as easy to live it!
How about we change our perspective together?

Connect with yourself in the mirror and realise that you are beautiful. Beauty is a feeling that comes from within. 
Cheesy as it may sound, try it! 

We have one life and one body in which to live. Treat it well.  
Let's build our beach confidence together, in the room, on the mat. Build your strength, build your health, build your focus, feel the power that is you and your body. Work together to share your energy. You are beautiful. We are beautiful. Together we are beautiful.  

According to Ella Fitzgerald "Summertime and the living is easy"...
Well, we don't know about that, but find the 90 minutes to get on your mat and you will definitely leave glowing and with a spring in your step!
We'll see you on the mat.
