ISHA Girl: June 2012

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!

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.

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.

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).

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.

Pizza Party at Studio Z

Most times I read a book or incorporate children's literature somehow into the practice.
Reagan just wanted to read the book after class.

Pizza Party at Peace Through Yoga Studio

After class I often will let kids do "show & tell" for those who have done yoga or gymnastics before and want to show me advanced moves they can do.

Check out Ella and Kinsey! I know I can't get my body there yet!! Ahh...to be young again. This is one thing I love about teaching kids yoga, it gives them a tool to KEEP that flexibility and suppleness. Let your kids join me every third Saturday of the month at Eagle Creek's Peace Through Yoga Studio.
