Happiness…the act of finding true joy, is a conscious choice that each of us need to make daily -sometimes even moment to moment. Making the decision to incorporate a mind/body practice into your life requires both consistency and commitment. Over time each Yoga pose will become a total body movement and the routine – though varied - will evolve to becoming as simple as the act of brushing your teeth.

Embracing where you are in the present is perhaps the single more important quality for unlocking happiness. Discovering that our body needs -> rest or challenge?  Listening to our mind and allowing ourselves to let go of the negative. These aspects are priceless in our quest for joy. A recent study revealed that young children laugh an average of 455 times per day vs. adults who laugh on average of 15 times per day!

So plant the happiness seed and give it sunshine, perhaps some rain and constant attention and watch it grow each and every day. Realize that through Yoga your body will be stronger, your mind sharper and your vision in life a bit more crisp!

Winter is upon us and blowing through the front door of Pedretti Power Yoga. Please review the following common sense rules of good yoga etiquette as a courtesy to your fellow PPY YOGA FRIENDS:

1. Remove Your Shoes/Boots at Front Door

2. Turn Off Your Cell Phone

3. Arrive On Time

4. Respect the Teacher

5. Don't Skip Savasana! Your final relaxation in Savasana is an important part of your practice. Don't plan to leave class early. If you must, tell the teacher in advance and take a short Savasana before you go. Don't make a habit of this.

 Smile and Laugh out Loud along the way.

 Namaste,

Allie
