Just as the leaves are starting to turn yellow, orange and red. Fall marks the transition of summer into winter and it is the most beautiful and romantic season of all, don't you agree?
We asked what other classes you would like to participate in and some of you have responded with some great suggestions! We have listened to your requests and will be adding Belly Dance classes on Wed 8 - 9 pm as well as Sat 3 - 4 pm. You may simply use your Class or Unlimited packages to have fun with this exciting routine!
Friendly reminder: The noise level in the classroom while waiting for the class to start seems to have increased quite a bit. Would you help us to ensure that everyone is quiet in the classroom so that other members may enjoy a moment of peace and calm? Your understanding and consideration are very much appreciated.
Enjoy your Halloween!

 Detoxification, by its basic definition, is any process that removes toxins. Most people consume and interact with a number of toxins every day. Simply by breathing the air around you, you encounter environmental pollution, so it is important to remember to detoxify your body to help keep it in balance. Of course, one of the very best ways to keep your body as toxin-free as possible is to avoid putting them in there in the first place.
You can begin your journey by eliminating toxins from your diet and skin care products. Be sure to drink plenty of water and eat plenty of fiber, which will help absorb toxins and move them out of the body. Herbs, Vitamin C, and foods that support the liver will help encourage toxins to move out of the body as well. Finally, reduce stress in your life. Stress creates toxins and slows down the liver's detoxification process, so the more often you can transform stress into something positive, the better you will feel.
Why Detox?
As part of your overall metabolism, your body has mechanisms to rid your body of harmful toxins. These mechanisms may not be working at their best because of imbalances resulting from years of abuse with food, alcohol and medications. You may already take supplements, but when you continue to eat poorly it is like never changing the oil or oil filter in your car!
How to Detox?
There are many ways to detox, you may try 7-day fruits and vegetables diet because they contain phytonutrients and enzymes. During the detox period - Avoid all fats (oil, butter or margarine), use spices and herbs; no coffee, alcohol, soda, sugar, artificial sweeteners; drink at least 8 glasses of water; no junk food; get plenty of sleep and rest and avoid strenuous physical activity.
For better results, you may incorporate Ultimate Aloe Juice plus 7-day NutriClean Cleansing and Detoxification System. This is a complete kit that includes fiber powder, hepato cleanse and release tables. You may ask us about the details the next time you are in the studio.
Get rid of the toxin in your body and re-energize yourself with good nutrients! Don't allow your body to re-absorb the toxins that it can't get rid of!

 Ashtanga is a dynamic style of yoga that focuses on breath, posture, and the transitions between postures. As with other yoga styles, there is a long-standing tradition of Ashtanga yoga in historic Indian culture -- Sri K. Pattabhi Jois is credited with making Ashtanga accessible to the modern world. In the West, you are likely to find instructor-led Ashtanga classes, although it is historically taught via Mysore classes, which are self-led group practices.
There are series, or levels, in Ashtanga yoga, but all practices follow the same basic structure. Practice begins with ten sun salutations followed by the standing poses, which comprise the opening sequence. Following this are the seated poses, with a vinyasa (sun salutation) between each pose. The finishing sequence consists of a series of inverted poses. Ashtanga yoga purifies the body's organs and muscles through organ stimulation (via the various yoga poses) and through toxin-releasing sweat.
Focuses in an Ashtanga practice include:
Ujjayi breathing: deep diaphragm breaths that fill the lower belly first and move upward; often audible in beginners who focus on breathing through a slightly "closed" throat.
Drishtis: meaning gaze, this is the focal point of the eyes which helps to develop concentration and intention, and supports proper body alignment.
Bandhas: internal "locks" achieved by contracting a group of muscles in the pelvis, navel, or throat. Assists in building energy and moving in and out of poses.
Remember to check out our schedule for Ashtanga classes on Tuesday and Thursday! You will love it :-)
