I once heard that the human spirit is on a quest for Joy. People all have their own expression of what brings them the greatest happiness, the greatest connection to the eternal, and their own standard for what makes up the greatest moments in their lives. Our hope is that the yoga studio can be a place of sanctuary where you stand as individuals in belief and expression, but are supported by a group of loving, caring, joyful people.
This fall we will be hosting our first Teacher Training by OHM Yoga School. It is a place to learn about yourself, to expand your vision of what is possible, to enhance your knowledge of yoga, and to develop as a leader. We hope that you will join us. "Leadership in its essence is based on deep inner values and a commitment to the advancement and continuous growth of others." - Torkom Saraydarian In my life there has been nothing that has brought me more Joy than watching others discover their health and strength enhancing their ability to show up more powerfully for their families and communities.
I hope that your summer has brought you much Joy! Those of you returning from travels we are excited to see you back in the yoga studios. We are so happy to be doing our 5th event Sunset Yoga event on September 9th.
Bring your family and friends to enjoy the yoga at
McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park in Scottsdale with us. We would love to see you there.
Warmly,
Nicole

Student of the Month: Vicky Lucero
 Vicky began practicing Bikram Yoga in the beginning of 2011, after purchasing a Groupon to attend classes - she says it was "love at first sight". Before practicing yoga, Vicky went to the gym, and enjoyed running, but suffered with frequent ankle and knee problems.
"Since BY became my preferred form of exercise my knees and ankles are not in pain the way they were with my gym and running routine. I also had surgery on both feet about a year ago and that thirst for wanting to get back to my yoga practice motivated me and helped with my recovery physically and mentally. I love how it melts away all my demons, I sweat a ton. It's one of the few places where sweating profusely is actually cool. I relax, workout, become more flexible, work on healing past injuries, get healthier and it really is just about me for 90 minutes.
My favorite part of class is Spine Twist- there's only one set and on super star days I can see a little bit of myself in the mirror. Or maybe half moon because it might be my best, teachers used to say if I tried my best in that one the rest of the class would be easier, I believed it. Maybe that's why I can see the mirror in final spinal! Sometimes during class I sing in my head "I'm flexy and I know it", so I'd love one day to sing during class "We're flexy and we know it" with vocals and sound effects by Heidi-Jo, maybe with a few fist pumps and a running man."
(Side note from Heidi-Jo... "you can count on this happening sometime in September..." :)
Vicky's advice to a new student:
"Come back! You'll be happier, you'll feel good and your clothes will fit better. "
Vicky's "5 thoughts a Bikram Yogi may have during class..."
1. That's my spot!
2. That was not 10 seconds.
3. If my head goes to my knee, sweat goes up my nose, I can't breathe.
4. Na'mastay in Savasana
5. Maybe if I try hard enough I can turn the fans on with my thoughts.
