Fun & Unusual Student Request

Joani Nunez - Friday, February 18, 2011
Visiting Student Renee Alaksa would like your support. Renee writes:

Hello!  I am traveling through Houston for three weeks and need to have encouragement to get myself to yoga!  I have been doing Bikram for four years on and off when I am in cities that have studios that aren't too far off the map.  Barring unforeseen circumstance, I will be attempting to go to the Galleria studio for 10 am class from Friday, Feb. 24th to Saturday March 12th.  If you feel like you can be part of a team to inspire, urge, or bribe me to get to class PLEASE email me!  I find I go to class if I know someone expects me there!

Thank you and look forward to meeting you ALL!

Bikram Yoga is an International Language

Guest Blogger, Certified Teacher, Yael Neumann

It always amazes me to realize that Bikram Yoga is an actual language. A body language. I've met people in training who didn't even know English! The fact Bikram Yoga is a permanent series makes it an international language. You can go anywhere in the world, walk into a Bikram Yoga studio, take class, and feel right at home! It doesn't matter what language you speak, or which country you visit. Energy speaks all the languages, and you will experience this energy in Bikram Yoga classes around the globe!

February Greetings

Warm Greeetings Yogis and Yoginis,
February is such a wonderful month here in Houston. I know this year it's a bit chillier than usual, but how fortunate are we all to not be shoveling snow? Instead we are blessed with a riot of azaelas and other spring flowers, along with days that are growing longer and warmer. 

This is the month to plant lettuce, peas, and impatients, and if you've ever had the pleasure of doing a perfect (for you) tree pose and felt the enegy rise from the base of your spine all the way to the top of your head, you will easily understand why the plant kingdom is so very happy this time of year!

We start our school wide Bikram Yoga challenge this month (you'll find more about the challenge below in the newsletter) so stop by the front desk, visit with our incredibly knowledgable and supportive desk staff, and get a challnge flyer to put your name on and post on the wall.

Of course this is also the month we formally acknowledge love in our life and celebrate it with Valentines Day. You might consider giving someone you love a gift certificate for yoga. What better gift is there than something that says "I love you. I want you to be healthy. I want you to live a long, long time"?  This reminds me of the loving kindness metta meditation, which seems a perfect focus for this month:

May you be happy.
May you be healthy.
May you be safe.
May you be peaceful and at ease.

Namaste,
Joani, Mike and the BHYH Staff
