Dear Client, The snowy weather outside has made us all long for warmer days ahead. As the snow blankets our area it can be hard to remember those warm summer days and how it feels to not have the winter stiffness. The gray skies outside and the bone-chilling winds can all be downright depressing and hard on the body. Our clients tell us that they are able to feel well this season thanks to Pilates and Yoga. Warming the core, spreading body-awareness, and stretching and strengthening muscles, all central to Pilates & Yoga, all have been shown to release body's natural endorphins. All forms of exercise offered at our studio are effective tools for easing and relaxing the mind while strengthening the body - physically, emotionally, and spiritually! So come in, take a class, feel good, and help you body take care of itself!

Also, feel free to read the article published in The Courier News on Budokon at our studio.
Budokon, has become Hollywood's latest fitness craze. Actress
Rene Russo was the first convert to this fusion of yoga, martial arts and
meditation and was swiftly followed by Courtney Cox, also of Friends fame, and
her actor husband, David Arquette, who then both recommended it to Jennifer
Aniston. The literal translation of Budokon is "the way of the spiritual warrior." Budokon is a fusion of Power Yoga, Martial Arts and Meditation in one complete system. This system develops strength of the body, sharpness of the mind, and serenity of the spirit. The four main elements of the Budokon system are mind, body, spirit and power.
Budokon allows a person of any physical condition
to experience martial arts and yoga in a noncompetitive and holistically
beneficial way. Budokon is a union of yin (feminine) and yang (masculine)
energies. Yin energy arises from yoga practice (stillness). Yang energy arises
from martial arts practice (explosive movement). Stillness of the mind is
achieved through meditation. The practice of Budokon brings your mind, body, and
spirit together in a
Budokon classes are high energy fast paced classes that are excellent for improving your cardiovascular, building lean muscle, and developing your self-esteem. The combination of 30 minutes of flexibility-enhancing yoga, followed by another 30 minutes of body-toning karate kicks is topped off by meditation. This high energy atmosphere keeps most people coming back for more. Class

 IRON
YOGA WORKSHOP: Carly's Challenging New 2-Hour Workshop featuring Yoga with Weights SUNDAY MARCH 18th @ 11AM |
||||||
|
Yoga has the power to transform peoples lives and empower individuals in ways that working out alone simply couldn't. Combine the two and its empowering. Building on the strengths of both disciplines, this user-friendly system combines breath based yoga postures, held in accurate alignment, while simultaneously working out with lightweight ankle and or hand-held free weights. Iron Yoga utilizes 1-, 3-, and maximum up to 5 lb hand held and/or ankle weights. The ankle weights are strapped on, and the hand held weights are gently held. Not every exercise uses both ankle and hand weights at the same time, but some do. The weights stabilize your body and encourage you to feel the action of the yoga practice itself. The exercises combine and synchronize the balance of hard and soft, strength and grace, and stability and flexibility, so that your entire body is engaged in a challenging and exciting new way.
Iron Yoga promotes healing and repair of the muscle tissues. The focus is not purely on using the weights, but rather on the connection between the breath, body, and mind.

So come and discover Yoga with light ankle and hand-held weights during this amazing two hour workshop with Carly. Learn the techniques to help you improve your lean muscle mass, increase metabolism, and stimulate weight loss. This fun and playful workshop is open to all levels! So bring your own weights and be prepared to sweat! 1 or 2 lb ankle weights and 1, 2, or 3 lb hand weights are recommended. You can experience and enjoy the workshop even without the weights!

much loved by those students who got a chance to take it. The workshop
structure, however, was too rigid for many of our clients. We listened and are
changing this aspect of the Budokon Bootcamp.
