- Come in and cool off! Desert living in the summer
makes the hot room more tolerable, especially since
it's
often hotter outside.
- There are so many activities in the summer - from
swimming, golfing, traveling and keeping up with the
kids. So don't forget that regular practice at BYPV will
keep your physical level at it's best.
- Summer practice is a great time to improve your
postures. The desert heat has you already warmed up
by
the time you hit the yoga mat. With your muscles
heated
up, flexibility is achieved faster and you can go into
postures more deeply.
- Every time you take class you re-fill your "gas
tank"
by hyper-oxygenating the nerves and blood vessels.
This
helps fight off summer heat sluggishness.
- You always feel better when you leave, not matter
how hot it is outside!
- Above all, your yoga buddies miss you when you
don't practice regularly.

Bikram Yoga is a form of exercise that is often
described
as rehabilitative therapy and falls into the preventative
care area of physical activity. Because of this you may
qualify for tax and insurance deductions.
Depending on your employer and/or health
insurance provider, you may be eligible for
reimbursement of some costs you spend on yoga. You
should also contact your tax accountant to see if you
can save money on federal and state income taxes. Read complete article in June Newsletter

If you've missed seeing Stella Zagori around
practicing, then you don't know that she has been in
Palm Desert for Bikram Yoga Teacher Training. Stella
will be home soon, bullet-proof, with bright shining
eyes and ready to take to the podium with her style
presenting the dialogue as she instructs our classes.
She'll also be welcomed by a big, fat debt,
because becoming a Bikram Yoga instructor takes
more than desire - it requires several thousand
dollars and is quite expensive. That's why this month's
Karma Classes will go towards Stella's teacher
training costs.
BYPV is proud to have encouraged so many new
teachers and helping out with Karma Classes is a way
for students to acknowledge their support as well.
Monthly Karma Classes are held each Friday, at 6:30
p.m. A $10 (or more) donation to the monthly cause is
encouraged.

 Laima has
practiced Bikram Yoga for more than two and a half
years. Her daughter was already practicing and
brought her to a class.
She continued practicing because she wanted to
improve her body, have a happy soul, get rid of pain in
my knees, back, and neck and increase overall
flexibility.
As a result, she lost 38 pounds, in addition to
getting
a tight butt and abs and increasing flexibility. Laima
says
her practice has increased her body tone, eliminated
most body pain, lowered her blood pressure and got
rid
of her asthma symptoms.
The Klaipeda, Lithuania native says the Eagle
Pose
is her favorite because it releases tension.
"It changed my lifestyle," Laima says about Bikram
Yoga.

 Your spines
are so happy now after the spine-strengthening series,
"and so, like the Phoenix rising from its own ashes,
come up from your face-down relaxation and begin
please..."
Kneel down "Japanese-style" with your knees and
feet together. Keeping the knees together, separate
your feet, and sit your hips on the floor in between
your
heels. As a beginner, you may need to separate the
knees at first, and start to bring them back together
once you are into the posture. For many people,
especially men, this posture can be so difficult in the
beginning, even to get the hips on the heels. But if you
persist in trying the right way, a day will come when
you can, and you will feel like you have conquered
Mount Everest!
Once your hips touch the floor between the heels,
make sure the heels STAY touching the hips as you
go
down. Put your hands onto your toes, thumbs inside,
fingers outside of the foot. Slowly bend the right elbow
down to touch the floor, then the left elbow. Once both
elbows touch the floor, drop your head back all the
way, and when the head touches the floor, bring the
back of the head to touch the floor, then the neck,
shoulders, eventually whole upper body relaxed on
the floor.
