What does "ISHA" stand for? Find out and join the club!

WELCOME TO THE ISHA ("ee-sha') GIRL CLUB - where you don't have to be a girl to join in the journey!

Simply incorporate the following principles into your everyday life and you're "IN"! So, come join the "ISHA GIRL CLUB" and join me in my journey to better overall health of mind, body and spirit!

I
INDIVIDUALITY/WARRIOR II Pose (Virabhadrasana II)
ISHA GIRLS are "bold, beautiful, confident and tuff"...their confidence lies in God and they are "SHINERS". They identify their strengths and unique talents and spend time developing both so they can enlighten and uplift others with their gifts.

S
SERVE others & SPREAD "Aloha"/HEART
ISHA GIRLS know "to find one's life, they must lose it". With "aloha" (LOVE) in their hearts they serve. This humbles them, broadens their perspective and increases their compassion while decreasing judgement, fear and selfishness.

H
HIPPYISH/PLANT
ISHA GIRLS have a "go green" mentality in how they live their lives. They respect their bodies (exercise, eat right and get rest) and their Earth (reduce, reuse and recycle).

A
ACQUIRE further light & knowledge/OWL
ISHA GIRLS never stop learning. They are invigorated by obtaining new knowledge, broadening their scope and improving their minds through both temporal and spiritual study.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Poem


(I wrote this poem this week to go along with a yoga routine for my "Tall Ones & Small Ones" Yoga class.  If you are interested in the asanas (poses) that go along with the poem email me-or better yet bring your kids to my class!!)

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle-You can be earth’s super hero starting today.
The 3 R’s help our earth- like the mountains, the trees or the parks where you like to play. 

Wherever you look-there is something that can be done. 
So pick up litter and trash next time you’re out for a run! 

You don’t have to sit and think about it too long
Obviously, a hero flying through polluted air is just wrong! 

You help the air when you carpool or ride a bike instead of drive. 
It’s the little things we do again and again that will make our earth thrive. 

Because flowers, plants, animals and insects alike need us
To fix our currents problems, you don’t have to make a big fuss

Little acts help little animals like crab and fish in oceans far away 
Conserve their water-even in a shallow bath you can still play

Us tall ones can learn a lot from you- don’t ever doubt your super power. 
Remind others to recycle so our garbage doesn’t tower! 

Looking through your old clothes, don’t throw away-donate! 
In this way, your clothes help other kids look great! 

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle-You can be earth’s super hero that is for sure
Then plant and ocean and animal alike-clean and healthy will endure!
