Open Day is a great opportunity to introduce Bikram Yoga to family and friends.
Pranayama Deep breathing. Why do we start class with this? How many times have you rushed to class late and found it hard to settle down? Pranayama is a diaphramatic breath that expands the ribcage and fills up the lungs to capacity, whatever that may be for you at the present time. You also exhale as much air as you can out of the lungs. It is important to remember that the pause at the end of inhalation and exhalation are equally as important.
Prana means life force.
'When the Breath wanders, the mind is unsteady, but when the Breath is still, so is the mind still." --Hatha Yoga Pradipika
Breathing is life. It is one of our most vital functions. One of the Five Principles of Yoga is Pranayama or Breathing Exercise, which promotes proper breathing. Proper breathing is to bring more oxygen to the blood and to the brain, and to control Prana or the vital life energy. Pranayama goes hand-in-hand with the Asanas. The union of these two Yogic Principles is considered as the highest form of purification and self-discipline, covering both mind and body.
At the end of July 2010 we sent out our first official monthly newsletter. It's going to be full of information not just about yoga but also about you and the things you love. Therefore you need to contribute. any small thing, a snippet about an injury, an exciting personal bit of news, even a testimonial, but most of all what you think about our community and how we can make it better. Please feel free to email info@bikramyogabrighton.com with anything you would like to go into our next newsletter.
In the first newsletter we looked at Pranayama breathing. What is it all about? What are we trying to achieve?
We're also going to have a feature called Teachers Malaprops. Anything you hear us say in class that is really crazy, write it in the notebook at the desk and we can laugh at ourselves.
To support newcomers to Bikram Yoga we are running one-to-one consultations and beginner workshops at 12pm on the third Saturday of every month. The sessions will address common questions and give new students the opportunity to discuss the experiences they have had during their first month's practice for a FREE hour.
The next workshop will be on Saturday, September 18th, 2010 from 12:00pm to 1:30pm.
Next month we're launching Friday Night Chi and Chat. Come and do some relaxing networking after class, drink chi tea and listen to an informal chat, starting with our resident chiropractor Dr Rebecca Nicholas.
