January 2009 Newsletter

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I hope you all feel refreshed and rested after the Christmas break. Rejoicing with friends and family, sharing laughter and love.

The start of a new year, a time for setting your intentions for the year to come. Your new years resolutions…. Coming to yoga class at least once a week – right? :0) Well, coming to a regular class can be a start to healthier, happier and more balanced you. Don’t worry if you have not been for a while, 2009 is a new year, a new start. If you introduce a friend during the month of January, you can get your class for FREE!!!

The art of yoga is to ‘BE HERE NOW’. To be in the moment, take time to pause and literally smell the roses. Well not this time of year perhaps but take the time to breathe, look at the sky, notice the changes in nature around you….smile. Showing love and affection to friends and family and taking time to appreciate what you have and who you are. I believe the first step is to be happy with what you are right now. To be honest 2009 can bring whatever you want it to bring, set your intentions and keep the momentum going. I keep hearing on the radio 2009 is going to be a bleak year, well it will be if you have that state of mind!! I believe 2009 will be a year of change and of new hope for the world.

I would like to pass on a mantra from one of my teachers. A mantra is a sound vibration. This mantra is using Sanskrit, an ancient Indian language. The different words are sounds that resonate with our being. This mantra helps root our goals into the unconscious part of our being where they can then manifest into realities. Sit in a meditative position and mentally picture your intentions. You than then mentally repeat this mantra “Om Trum Atma” (“Ohm Troom Aht-mah”)

May 2009 bring you much joy and peace.

I look forward to seeing you soon.
