April Love Showers

It's Spring!  This is one of my favorite times of year.  The longer days allow me to do two of my favorite things: garden and help my clients reach their health and wellness goals.  Something about the hint of summer makes people more open to reach their goals.  So, of course I am here to help.  My goal is always to use my knowledge and my passion for service for those who want to live healthier lives and thrive.



Yoga for Weight Loss
Yoga for Weight Loss is a great program to kickstart your weight loss goals.  This program is near and dear to me because often times weight control is a reflection of all the things that we experience in our lives.  So many times we are working on every other part of our lives and we put ourselves last.  The thought is that we can always come back to our own health whenever we want ignoring our needs to really nurture ourselves.  Yoga for Weight Loss is designed to put your health needs front and center so that you can be your best self in your life.  You will learn how to eat and move to stimulate your weight loss goal.   Payment plans are available because I never want finances to be a barrier to reaching your health goals.  Join me for Yoga for Weight Loss and learn how to reveal your best self.



Wellness Coaching
One thing about having a yoga and wellness business is that things always happen organically.  I know there are lots of people out there doing wellness and life coaching and I am happy to see this become such a thriving business.  It speaks to the fact that many are seeking ways to be more grounded in their life's purpose or their life's work.  For me, that is what wellness coaching is all about.  It's about helping people get into the the flow of their life.  I enjoy taking the tools I have learned and sharing them with those who seek to live a more balanced way of life.  Think of it as yoga but on and off the mat.  If this sounds good to you see the wellness coaching section of www.ilovemytemple.com to sign up.




Fly Yoga Trip
We are still on for our trip to Tulum, Mexico September 10-14th.  Visit the Fly Yoga link on www.ilovemytemple.com to sign up.



Artistic Wellness
I believe that everyone has a creative gift or talent that we are here to uniquely express.  Artistic Wellness came about because I am surrounded by these wonderfully gifted creative people who were wanting to express their talents and gifts.  The challenge for many creative people is bringing their creative projects to fruition.  The workshop is designed to assist you with getting your creative process together.  Join me and I will share with you ways to bring your creative gifts to light through yoga, breathing and meditation. If you are interested in participating in this 6-week workshop please leave your information at www.ilovemytemple.com subject -Artistic Wellness.  Note:  In June, we will have a 1-Day Painting and Yoga workshop.  More information coming soon!





Power Yoga and Hot Power Yoga Classes
It's been a few months since I have taught Power Yoga due to a car accident I had in December.  I wanted to make sure I was strong enough and had to honor the healing process in my own life in order to lead this class.  Based on popular demand, I am adding Power Yoga and Hot Power Yoga back to the weekly schedule.  Visit www.ilovemytemple.com to book your class today.





Temple Tees
Temple Tees are a hot item.  Those who purchase them love to share their temple and yoga love.  "I Love My Temple" has become a mantra for me but also its something I love to share because self love and mind, body, spirit empowerment is the standard for my business.  Temple Tees are all about wearing those mantras and reminding yourself of the power of love and the power of YOU.  For me, the ability to share love means sharing it first with yourself. Visit www.ilovemytemple.com to get yours and share your #templelove


Temple TV
Throughout the years, I have met some amazing wellness practitioners.  I know the journey to being healthy and well is all about great partnerships.  Temple TV's first show, "Wellness Warriors" will highlight these wellness practitioners and their businesses.  If you are a wellness practitioner interested in participating please send me an email at ilovemytemple@gmail.com.






Awakening Your Life's Purpose
On April 24th and 25th there is a wonderful event going on called "Awakening Your Life's Purpose".  I will be there as an exhibitor on April 25th.  For more information visit http://www.atlantalifemedia.com/events

Join me this Spring to get into your flow.

Namaste.

Have a Seat and Breathe -Chair Yoga


It's the first of the year and everyone is focused on health and fitness goals.  What I realize after many years in the yoga and wellness industry is that many of us will push ourselves way beyond our comfort zone and forget the importance of living a balanced healthy life.  We buy into the fact that there is something wrong with us that needs to be fixed and we have to be punished for being broken.  Many businesses like mine gear up for the first of the year as well.  It's not however, to simply capitalize on the resolutions people make year after year.  It is to help undo the pressure we place on ourselves to be something other than who we are.  Do I think it is great that so many people want to be healthier and more fit?  Absolutely!  However, do I think you have to sacrifice your current health and punish yourself to do so?  Absolutely not!

One of the main reasons I think yoga is so popular is because of mindfulness.  We start and end with breathing, meditation and intentions.  The goal is always to plant the seeds and to see how they grow throughout your practice.  You are the observer who is checking in to see what is REALLY happening with you.  You are NOT gripping and clinging to whatever attachments you walk around with in daily life and you are NOT hanging onto the laundry list of things that roll around in your mind everyday.  In yoga you are just being!

Benefits of Chair Yoga
One of the main reasons I chose to teach chair yoga is because there are no real limitations.  You don't have to change clothes, you don't have to have a yoga mat and you don't have to get on the floor if you have problems getting up and down.  However, you do get to experience the yoga postures in a supported form.  You can stretch, tone and strengthen right where you are.  You can focus on the breathing because often times our breathe reflects our state of mind.  You can focus on what your body is feeling while you are in the postures.  You can focus on your intention to BE whatever you choose.  You can slow down the process of thinking and attaching to every thought that comes into your mind.  You can simple choose to watch what unfolds while you are BEing.

Another reason I chose to offer a lunchtime Chair Yoga class is because of my intimate knowledge of the work environment.   I have worked in an environment where it was necessary to recalibrate in the middle of the day.  I know what it is like to need some breathing space between deadlines, co-workers and supervisors.  Sometimes, my own mid-day yoga and wellness practices made the difference in my ability to stay employed, support my staff,  and meet my requirements in a positive and balanced way.

What you should know when taking yoga?

  • Please let the instructor know if you have any injuries or limitation that will restrict your movement.
  • Yoga is typically a non-verbal practice so reserve your comments and questions for the beginning or end of class. 
  • You want to be comfortable so remove your shoes and any restrictive clothing.  In chair yoga, you will be seated for most of the class but there is some standing and stretching.  
  • Listen to your body.  You are your first teacher.  Yoga postures should not hurt you or restrict your breathing.  If you feel like you are in pain back off the pose and stay with your breathing.  Join in on the next posture or stay with the modified version of the pose until you are ready to move forward.  
  • Your breathe is your guide.  You want to listen to your breathing and try not to hold your breath.  You should always worked towards balanced breathing in and out through the nose.  If you are experience congestion then it is fine to breath in and out through the mouth until the congestion clears.  
  • Be patient.  Yoga is not about forcing yourself into looking like your instructor.  It is about your expression of the pose.  


Chair Yoga begins January 28th at 12pm.  Classes will be held at Iwi Fresh Garden Day Spa.  Class will last about 35 minutes.  Smoothies are available directly after class and are included in the class price.  Pre-registration is encouraged however, walk-ins are welcomed.  Space is limited.

Namaste,
