Bikram Yoga El Paseo

It’s hard to believe April is almost over and May is quickly approaching. As the temps are rising here in the desert (and in the studio) it is clear that SUMMER (at least temperature wise) IS HERE!!! AND THAT MEANS BIKINI SEASON IS UPON US!! So what better way to get in bikini body shape than challenge yourself to 30 days of BIKRAM YOGA!!!

OUR THIRTY DAY CHALLENGE BEGINS MAY 20 – JUNE 1ST !!!!! You can begin your 30 consecutive days on ANY DAY during that period. As a group we will all finish on Sunday June 30th with happier, healthier, slimmer bodies!!!

The new improved YOU will be the PERFECT MODEL for our student “wall of fame” with new unveilings every week !!!

OUR first “unveiling” was hilarious!!! Some of us laughed so hard we cried. Student, Paul GLass was asked to do the honors. He was chosen because of his height. He stepped up on the podium turned around and posed with a big – camera ready – smile. He wasn’t exactly sure what he was supposed to do and as that became clear to the class, students began shouting out: “turn around and remove the covering.” Paul then turned to the picture and began to take the entire picture/frame off the wall. “NO” shouted student Luke Hall. “THE COVER ONLY”!!!!! Those of us who knew Luke’s painstaking task of measuring, nailing and placing the picture frames on the wall, got an additional chuckle out of his concern for disrupting his accomplishment!!! (I never dreamed that something so simple would turn into comic relief moment.) Paul took it all in stride and even showed up at the second unveiling willing to provide his services again……….this time with full understanding of the task on hand.

Our first student unveiled: RUDY LOZANO . We unveil the pics during the class times that the chosen model typically frequents but the student is unaware. It’s always a surprise. They don’t even know what posture it will be as several are taken. Unfortunately Rudy didn’t make it there that day but was pleasantly surprised the next day and proudly snapping away at his pic on the wall .

Our second student unveiled: JAY MIRPOUR. JAY WAS PRESENT and very excited to be chosen and proudly stepped up on the podium to get his picture with HIS PICTURE!!!

TUESDAY, APRIL 30TH – 9am class WILL BE UNVEILING #3 and a our most special unveiling yet……..WHY???? Come to class to find out!!!!

The fun continues at Bikram Yoga Palm Desert- El Paseo as we feverishly move forward with exciting summer plans. Justin is putting the finishing touches on “Summer Destination YOGA” – An outdoor yoga/ meditation day — off premises. Stay tuned for details!!

We had our first “GATHER TOGETHER -Social Sunday” at THIRD CORNER BISTRO. Some of us were there for 3 1/2 hours socializing and brainstorming future yoga activities. This was the brain child of student John Ohea. Thanks for the fabulous idea John!!! ALL OUR WELCOME TO JOIN US EVERY MONTH ON THE LAST SUNDAY OF THE MONTH. ALWAYS AT 3RD CORNER….ALWAYS AT 6PM!!

FINALLY, my Paisan/ Liaison in Sicily and I have been in touch and will begin coordinating a YOGA/CUlINARY RETREAT in Sicily. Known for their fresh farm to table healthy cooking lifestyle and breathtaking topography and views, a trip to Sicily to heal body and soul is on our horizon!! STAY TUNED!!

IN THE MEANTIME, IF YOU ARE THINKING OF PARTICIPATING IN THE 30 DAY CHALLENGE…..THINK NO MORE!!! JUST DO IT!!! CHANGE YOUR BODY, CHANGE YOUR MIND AND IMPROVE YOUR LIFE!!!

UNTIL THEN SEE YOU IN THE HOT ROOM!!! NAMASTE`
