ARM BALANCE WORKSHOP w/Karen Underwood & Wendy Schwoerer
(Saturday,
March 14th 12am - 3pm)
It's time to take flight and send your booty to
camp. Stop letting the arm balancing portion of your practice become
a spectator sport. Come to our workshop and learn basic techniques to
raise your practice to a new level. Arm balancing is an essential component
of any yoga practice. With step-by-step instruction, learn how simple
it can be to engage your core strength, find your focal point, and raise
your feet up off the ground. Learn to safely find your balance on your
head, your hands, or your forearms. This workshop is open to all from
the beginner to the more advanced. We will warm-up with a vinyasa sequence,
discuss the mechanics of several arm balances, and then enjoy great
music as we encourage each other to let our spirits and our booties
fly. We will end with a yin practice and relaxation. Our goal is to
leave no behind - behind.

The Meditation I classes gave me the tools I needed to incorporate
a daily meditation practice into my life. Until I participated in this
workshop, I was having difficulty focusing and calming my mind down.
Now, not only do I find meaningful inner peace during my morning meditations,
but I utilize the techniques to help maintain a calm, clear mind in
the midst of the busy-ness of the day. Thank you, Shelly, for your guidance.

40
DAYS TO PERSONAL REVOLUTION
(Kickoff Meeting Saturday, April 25th 6pm 40 Days begins
Sunday, April 26th ends Friday, June 5th)
The
program runs for just under a 6-week period starting on a Monday and
finishing on a Friday night. We'll wrap up the program with fiery festivities.
The 40 Day Personal Revolution Program ("40-Days") is progressive.
It is intensive with each week going deeper into areas of our lives
and giving us many opportunities for growth and personal transformation.
There are three areas that the program will cover- although you may
find that many other areas of your life are brought into the spotlight.
The three main areas we will experience are: 1) Going deep into your
power yoga practice; 2) Experiencing the commitment to a daily meditation
practice; and 3) Awareness and creation of a nutritional diet that suits
your body.
Instructors at Hot House Yoga will be completing the 40-Days Program
with you and will lead our group discussion held on Sunday afternoons.
These discussions are a mandatory part of the program, whether you attend
and share your experiences or just simply listen to the experiences
of others. The meetings are the heart and soul of the program, enabling
teachers and students to uplift each other and promote change.
Each
day you complete your meditations, studio or home practice and mark
it on the board in the studio using the following symbols. The basic
requirements of the course are:
1. Studio Practice (SP) - Each week you will be asked to complete five
Hot House Yoga Studio Practices. Practice at times that suit you. This
also includes any of the hour long practices. After completing a Hot
House Yoga studio practice you write the letters SP in the top diagonal
of the day it refers to.
2. Home Practice (HP) - Each week you will be asked to complete one
home practice either following the practice set out in the book or creatively
designing your own flow at home. The next day you come into the studio
after completing a home practice you write the letters HP in the top
diagonal for the day it refers to.
3. Rest Day ( R ) - Simply mark your favorite symbol on the board on
your next day in the studio.
4. Meditations ( M ) - Each day you will be asked to complete two meditations.
For each day you complete a meditation, you write M1 or M2 for how many
meditations you completed on the day it corresponds to. Each weekly
meditation is given in the text for you to follow.
5. Diet - You will use Baron’s book, "40 Days To Personal
Revolution," as a guide to designing a whole food diet suitable
for your own personal needs. In week 4, we complete a 3-day fruit fast
to cleanse the body as a gentle detox. This is not just a physical cleanse.
You will notice a great shift in your mental perception of the quantity
of food your body requires. During the fasting period you may take a
home practice and day off or practice lighter in class to conserve energy.
You are not required to mark on the board if you have followed your
diet.
6. Journaling- You are asked to keep your own journal during the 40-Days
and answer questions in the book at the end of each week. These questions
are to remain private unless you wish to share them and are simply thought
starters for great introspection.
Each
week our instructors are available to talk about your experience and
offer guidance if sought. There is also an abundance of friends who
are very supportive and enjoy the opportunity to share the challenges
and triumphs you will experience.
We ask that you are honest about your progression. This challenge is
very difficult and not everyone will be able to complete all requirements.
The most important thing is that you show up and give it a go. Should
you miss a practice or don’t have time for a meditation, we ask
that you don’t give up but rather continue the 40-Days with the
acceptance of yourself and the openness to get out of it what ever needs
to travel your way.
This program is limited to 25 people on a first
come, first serve basis.
Cost:
$165.00 for early bird sign ups, Yearly Members - Free
A
COURSE IN MIRACLES STUDY GROUP(a weekly study group)
Imagine
a life based on forgiveness of self and others ... a life based on shedding
fear and accepting love ... resulting in a life of true inner peace.
That’s precisely what thousands of people are attaining through
the study of this program...
That’s
precisely what thousands of people are attaining through the study of
this internationally recognized day-by-day self-study program. A unique
blend of psychology, Christianity and Eastern philosophy, A Course In
Miracles® focuses on the practical application of the power of forgiveness
and guides you to the peace of mind we all seek.
In
this enlightening program, you’ll discover why forgiveness is
the key to universal happiness ... why love depends on your willingness
to give, rather than your desire to receive ... why changing the way
you see the world works better than trying to change the world itself
... and why service is necessary for personal fulfillment.
A
Course In Miracles® was first published in 1975 by the Foundation
of Inner Peace. Today, there are many autonomous centers where people
gather to study its philosophy. Each year, new students begin using
this powerful and timeless philosophy to help them bring strength and
forgiveness into their lives and into the world — proof positive
that these methods and concepts work.
With consistent application of its concepts and committed use of its
thought system, one can begin to see that miracles are natural and can
happen to anyone. You’ll discover another way to look at the world,
and you will realize that judgment, fear, guilt, and anger can be released
from your life. In their place, you can substitute
unconditional love. For

BOOK
CLUB (Saturday,
February 21st 11am)
for
a fun and inspirational discussion of Kathy Freston's book, Quantum
Wellness. This book is a great compliment to Baron Baptiste's 40 Days
to Personal Revolution and Dr. Peter D'Adamo's Eat Right 4 Your Type.
The author takes
us through her own personal journey toward wellness using what she calls
an "Eight Pillar" approach. Freston's suggestions are easily
applicable to our everyday lives as we learn to "lean" toward
positive change. You will feel empowered by the momentum you can create
toward quantum wellness simply by paying attention to the thoughts that
you think, the activities that you engage in, and the foods that you
eat.
After the discussion,
Mitch, the owner and manager of Love Whole Foods will treat us to a
tour of his store, and give us an organic education on ways to enhance
our health and lifestyles. Freston encourages us to engage in "conscious
eating," and this is a great opportunity to ask Mitch specific
questions regarding organic whole foods and supplements.
With Quantum Wellness
as our guide, let's get together, share our thoughts and ideas, and
encourage each other toward positive change. Sign up at the front desk.
Books are also available for purchase at the front desk.

EAT 4 YOUR BLOOD TYPE (Saturday,
February 21st 11am)
This
is the indispensable handbook that lays the foundation for each of the
four blood types, including clear, simple plans for each type.
From the book jacket: "If you've ever suspected that not everyone
should eat the same thing or do the same exercise, you're right. Your
blood type reflects your internal chemistry. It actually determines
the way you absorb nutrients. What foods you absorb well and how your
body handles stress differ with each blood type. Eat Right 4 Your Type
will help you design a total health program that's right for your blood
type."
3
out of 4
Appear
to be the odds that your health will improve by following the right
diet for your blood type. The facts are clearcut: In the 6617 individuals
who reported their results from following the Blood Type Diet for a
period of one month or more, three out of four (71-78%) had significant
improvement in a variety of health conditions. Weight loss was the effect
most often observed but a number of reports detailed improvements in
digestive function, resistance to stress, overall energy and mental
clarity.
The
percentages (71-78%) of visitors reporting positive results are consistent
across all the blood types. Type O (following a higher protein lower-carb
diet) appeared as likely to report positive results as Type A (following
a lower fat, plant-based diet) or types B and AB (following a more omnivorous
diet.)

3-DAY
INTENSIVE FRUIT FAST (the
first sunday of each month)
Throughout
history , people have fasted for different reasons. Some fasted for
religious reasons, others, such as Gandhi, out of political protest,
and some because they knew it was intrinsically good for them. We do
a 3 day fruit fast once a month because active cleansing or fasting
is a way to allow your body to fully empty out and get clean, giving
your metabolic organs a chance to rest and renew themselves.
We
recommend doing a three-day cleanse at the beginning of the month. From
the morning of the first day, eat meals that contain only fruit. It
is best to use fresh fruit, but you can also have fruit juices and fruit
soups, such as tomato soup, as long as they are natural and additive-
free.
As
often as you can, take the time to prepare full meals, rather than just
grabbing pieces of fruit on the run, have fun with it so you feel fulfilled
and not deprived make smoothies, fruit relish, fruit salad. Eat small
amounts of fruit all day long to keep your blood sugar level, drink
plenty of water, and herbal tea. Enjoy

styles of Hatha Yoga. The Barkan Method Hot Yoga and Hot Vinyasa sequences,
set in the tradition of Tantra Yoga, continue to change and evolve as
James unceasingly explores the Eight Limb Path in his personal practice
