Good Things Come in 3s !!!

3 THINGS CANNOT BE HIDDEN! Is it THE SUN, THE MOON and NEW BEGINNINGS??? OR is it INTERNATIONAL YOGA DAY ~and~ SUMMER SOLSTICE ~and~ FREE YM!  

Yes! OF COURSE on the ‘Longest ‘International Yoga’ Day’, as always, YOU will BE OUR GUEST.  The sun will be at its highest in the sky (hopefully it will have its hat on too) and in which you can contemplate the meaning of BIKRAM YOGA in your life.

The Summer Solstice represents a time of REBIRTH and HEALING.   Is this Solstice going to be a turning point for you?

HATHA YOGA IS ONE PATH TO CREATING BALANCE AND UNITING OPPOSITES

“The sun is known by the syllable ‘Ha’ and the moon by the syllable ‘Tha’. Owing to the UNION of the sun and moon, HATHAyoga is named {thus}” Yoga Bija 16/17th Cent.

YOGA MEANING ‘UNION’ ~ finding the ‘whole’ again, the middle way, the doctrine of the mean, balancing your Chakras or balancing the Yang and the Yin of it.   HaThayoga refers to the balance of masculine aspects (active, heating, sun) and feminine aspects (receptive, cooling, moon) WITHIN ALL OF US.

Medieval Yogic philosophy depicts the human body as a microcosm of the universe in which elemental forces are at play.  In this philosophy the internalised microcosmic SUN dwells and functions at the root of the navel in the SOLAR plexus. The HEAT of the solar plexus ENERGY catalyzes Yogic processes and stokes (or raises) spiritual energy and consciousness.  In your Bikram Yoga practice on your journey of discovery of your true and blessed Self you REALISE you are not really dependant on anything outside of you.  You STOKE THE POWER INSIDE of you, which energy expands and FIRES YOU UP to face your life and find balance again.

but BALANCE IS NOT A STATIC STATE

Philosophically asking, can there be a light without a dark? Can there be balance without an opposing force to test it?  Too often we believe ‘balance’ means ‘perfection’; we should REMEMBER that it is our mistakes that are the opposite of our perfect and therefore provide the ‘balance’ to our celebrations.  Be a little bit kinder to yourself when you ‘fall’ out of a posture; the fall is an important part of the process on your journey.  It is that fall that gives balance to your victory of staying in.  {All the Cool Kids are doing it) {An ounce of practice…}

In the building of our FIERY discipline (Tapas ~ the heart of all Yogic disciplines) that is Bikram Yoga you will BURN OFF the obstacles that keep your true Self from GLOWING and in time you will become a source of warmth and strength for others.

REMEMBER FOLKS! ‘TIS ALL RELATIVE 😉

…but we are here to help you WAKE UP THE ‘HA’… and so of course WE WILL be all about the ‘Ha’ on Summer Solstice!!! ‘RIGHT’ on 😉  What with the heat, and that little nod to Surya with Bikram Yogis always stepping to the right, and the heat 😉 and that even in winter it is like summer at YM, and the heat and the discovery of that eternal summer within ourSelves, and the heat… 🙂   Maybe you can make Bikram Yoga your personal ‘ceremony’ for celebrating Solstice and International Yoga Day!!

Wishing you a Magical Summer Solstice…
