Namaste Yoga Friends & Family,
September is National Yoga Month and if you are ready to raise awareness, deepen your own practice, share the many health benefits of yoga with your friends & family, become a yoga teacher, and roll out your mats, we've got you covered ;-)
"When we free ourselves from physical disabilities, emotional disturbances, and mental distractions, we open the gates to our soul." ~ B.K.S. Iyengar, Light on Life
We can all head "Back to School" at BNFYoga this month. Each time you take a Yoga class there is an opportunity to learn something new about our body, our breath, our mind, and how we are connected to ALL living beings. Let's take the seat of the student and receive the teachings of Yoga from the teacher that stands before us and within us.
"Atha yoga anushasanam - Now, the teachings of yoga." ~Yoga Sutras of Patanjali 1.1
Don't forget, our children need their regular Yoga practice too! Now that school is back in session make Mondays & Thursdays a part of your weekly
Family Yoga time. Kids Yoga (ages 5-12) Mondays @4:30pm, Yoga for Big Kids (ages 11-14) Mondays @ 7:15pm, YogArt (ages 5-12) Thursdays @4:30pm. At all 3 times an Adult Yoga class is being offered in the very next room. On the way to and from class, take a few minutes to share with one another how Yoga makes you feel.
"If every 8 year old in the world is taught meditation, we will eliminate violence from the world within one generation." ~ Dalai Lama

September Pose of the Month
Pincha Mayurasana - Forearm Stand
 | | Jodi Langevin |
Pincha Mayurasana means Feathered Peacock and is commonly referred to as Forearm Stand. The pose resembles a peacock starting it's dance.
This arm balance simultaneously strengthens and stretches the shoulders. It also strengthens the arms, back and core while stretching the neck, chest and belly.
This pose requires strength, balance and patience. It is an inversion that does not put any pressure on the head but still offers all of the benefits of being upside down including stress reduction, improved circulation and calming of the brain. Inversions are powerful teachers capable of offering us a new perspective on life: heart over head.
We hope you have enjoyed sharing your Pose of the Month pics, keep sharing. Let's show our love of Yoga Asana (poses) by taking pics throughout the month at the studio or any place you feel like striking a pose, and post on FaceBook tagging @Breathe N Flow Yoga or on Instagram at #BNFYoga #poseofthemonth.
