Blah, Blah,Blah…..Bikram Blog:HAPPY BIRTHDAY BYPD-El PASEO
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO WE , HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO WE, HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIKRAM YOGA PALM DESERT– EL PASEO, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO WE!!!!!
WOW!! Has it really been TWO years since the RE-BIRTH of Bikram Yoga Palm Desert, the original Bikram Yoga studio in Palm Desert?????
August 1, 2012 with Bikram Choudhury’s blessing and the love and support of the Bikram Yoga community, I purchased Bikram Yoga Palm Desert. The amazing foundation of this 10 year old studio laid by Denise Abraham was solid. There was no messin with that. I kept the foundation in tact and simply plotted a course of continuity with a plan of greater community outreach and growth.
BIKRAM YOGA PALM DESERT — EL PASEO was born. Adding the location on to our original name brought newness to the rebirth while keeping the same internal flame burning intensely .
TODAY, two years later, the cream has risen to the top!! Through trial and error I came to the realization that tough business decisions while difficult are truly necessary. I now have a group of passionate Bikram Yogis who are willing to go the extra mile and make a difference.
Laura just mentioned in class today how stubborn the mind can be. We need to CONSTANTLY make a conscious decision to let go of the negative, open up our hearts and our minds to positive energy flow.
It’s been an interesting year for me personally as I’ve had to weed out the negative energy peeps that suck the life out of you. As student, Ana Stockwell would say, it’s a natural house cleaning.
Moving forward we realize that we will continue to make some mistakes, but I can’t think of a more wonderful group of Yogis who I’d rather be with down in the trenches!
The core students who stuck by this studio during transition are stronger and shine brighter than ever!
My permanent teaching staff in addition to myself, Laura, Angelina, Tom, (and in season) Elna and Katty bring amazing strength and energy like no other. My corporate members, Lululemon and Renova Solar, and my student sponsorship program founded by student, Bruce Boisvert have helped bring awareness and affordability of this highly therapeutic yoga to the community . Together we form a cohesive group of individuals whose hearts and minds are one with our studio mission statement:
“COME IN PEACE, LEAVE IN PEACE, STAY IN PEACE”
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIKRAM YOGA PALM DESERT – EL PASEO !!! Hope to see ALL you peeps in the hot room soon, sweatin it out and learning life’s lessons!!
Namaste`
