 Shawn's bio:

 

Bikram Yoga is the fountain of youth. I came to this practice with a broken body from years of competitive snowboarding. After the first class, I felt the benefits right away. I had bad shoulders, hips, wrists, knees and ankles. I was basically a mess. Many postures were extremely uncomfortable even painful but I felt a connection to something more powerful than I could ever imagine. I started with one class a week, then two, three, four until I finally dedicated myself to a daily practice. My body began to change and heal rapidly; I was losing weight, gaining flexibility, strength, concentration, determination and focus. I believe the Yoga room is parallel universe to our daily lives. There are countless lessons to be learned in there about ourselves that we carry over into every day life. It is a place of healing, a source of strength, awareness,compassion, community and self realization. I teach an energetic class mixed with fun, humor and awareness of our bodies in the tradition passed on to me by my teacher Yogiraj Bikram Choudhury. I graduated from the Palm Desert spring 2009 Teacher Training, was selected for the graduation demonstration team and received the award for the Best Male Yogi. I’ve attended Bikram's Advanced Seminar and took 2nd in the 2010 NorCal Hatha Yoga Asana Championships which took me to LA to compete in the 2010 Bishnu Ghosh Cup. Ive taught all over the US, Peru, Australia and Bali.When I'm not practicing or teaching Yoga, I enjoy surfing, snowboarding, camping and adventure. See ya in the hot room!

DECEMBER PRODUCT OF THE MONTH:
BREATHE MATS

About Breathe, from the company website...

Breathe started with an idea, a vision. We wanted to create a mat unlike any other, and allow yogis to focus on their practice, not their sticky mat and towel. With our own yoga roots in the Bikram method, we'd heard and lived the common complaints. Our sticky mats and towels couldn't absorb sweat adequately and pooled liquid on the floor, and on our sticky mats. Our towels bunched-up during postures. We couldn't wash our sticky mats well enough and they broke down after only six months. They were uncomfortable to lie on and bringing two separate items to class was inconvenient. We tirelessly searched the market for a solution, but could not find one. Frustrated, but united in our refusal to accept the norm, we chose to innovate, and the result was the Breathe mat for hot yoga.

It has long been our goal to innovate and offer the best products possible to people who are passionate about yoga. We consider form, but focus on function. Our newest mat, the "Rabbit Flap™" mat, is a prime example. It is all the things that a sticky mat and towel are not. It is waterproof, machine washable and dryer safe, colourfast, pre-shrunk, slip resistant, comfortable to lie on and won't bunch during practice. Complete with material upgrades and the convenience of a built-in 'rabbit flap', our newest mat is the ultimate mat for hot yoga.

Teacher Trainees return as interns...

Four of our beloved Yogis have recently graduated from the Bikram Yoga Teacher training held in San Diego for the Fall 2010 session. Sharon Lacy, Tish Rees, Kelley Kolsch, and Sean Hall successfully completed the 9-week intensive training program where they master the specific dialgoue and learn the basics of yoga asana, as well as covering related topics like anatomy, the therapeutic applications and health benefits of Yoga, nutrition, philosophy of Yoga, and Bikram's Posture Clinic for each of the 28 postures. 

Our studio has made quite an impact this year recruiting FOUR students from our studio to attend training and SIX of our teachers returned to Training to encourage the students' progress as well as improve their own awareness. We are proud of all of you!

Yoga is a continual lesson; we are all constantly learning, growing, and discovering our bodies and its outstanding abilities. Never limit yourself!

Bikram Blog - Hello Hatha Yoga!

The Bikram Yoga series is a challenging, 90-minute workout that improves physical strength, flexibility, and balance while enhancing mental clarity and focus. The practice is a sequence of 26 postures, including two breathing exercises performed in a heated environment. The heat improves circulation, helps to eliminate toxins, and significantly reduces the risk of injury during stretching. The 26 postures were designed to work the body tailored to the human body's anatomical design.

The Bikram Series was tailored for our cultural problems such a job stress, overeating, bad posture, and aggressive lifestyles. In time you'll learn to focus your mind and control your breath, leading you to work harder, deeper, and calmer.

Bikram Yoga provides an infinite amount of benefits including stress reduction, increased stamina, mental clarity, flexibility, weight loss, balance health & peace. 

This blog is intended to keep our CENTRAL FLORIDA YOGA FAMILY up-to-date on all the HOT happenings here in the area. From local events to studio specials, this blog will include anything to promote physical and spiritual growth, inside the yoga room and out!
