LIFE'S EXCITING CHALLENGES


break YOUR habits, be comfortable with the uncomfortable.....sounds familiar & naggy?

We are doing our first 7 day challenge...so EXCITED!

DETOX YOUR MIND WITH ALOE VERA SHOTS, DETOX YOUR MIND WITH SAVASANA.
Practice everyday for 7 days & take 5mins long savasana after every each class.
When i see yoga challenge is always focused on physical & i look around and see how we are judged by how we look....but are we just physical?
is yoga just physical? i thought beauty comes from inside? from within....or?
so i thought hard about it & toy around with different ideas. I always want to offer something new, something original, vibrant & fun for the students in the studio.
Co incidently i met my old student & she had a dream about how her life should be part of an eco sound lifestyle and aloe vera came in the picture....how a simple plant could save lives and how we get the wholesomeness of life form the most basic things.
However if there is imbalance in the eco system we lose all these natural resources & like wise with our state of being...if we are out of balance,  everything in & around us will fall apart. 
So this challenge is about balance,wholeness, cleansing from inside out.
ALOE VERA + ASANAS + TOTAL REST = HAPPY PEOPLE!

You ask me what were the secret forces which sustained me during my long fasts. Well, it was my unshakable faith in God, my simple and frugal lifestyle, and the Aloe whose benefits I discovered upon my arrival in South Africa at the end of the 19th century.' Mahatma Ghandi


What is in Aloe?
The aloe vera plant is constructed with the basic building blocks of life, including essential vitamins and minerals, proteins, polysaccharides, enzymes, and amino acids. (Some people drink aloe vera for physical endurance and stamina, instead of energy drinks!) The bulk of the aloe vera leaf is filled with gel, which is approximately 99% water. The other 1% contains over at least 75 known nutrients including 20 minerals, 12 vitamins, 18 amino acids, 200 active plan compounds called phytonutrients, enzymes and of course, water.


Why Aloe Vera? 
Aloe vera juice is a great natural aid to detox. With our stressful lives, the pollution around us and the junk foods we eat, we all need to cleanse our systems from time to time. Some people more often than others! Drinking aloe vera juice provides a fantastically rich cocktail of vitamins, minerals and trace elements to help our bodies deal with these stresses and strains everyday.

Please check out if you are allergic to Aloe Vera!
You may experience an allergic reaction when using aloe vera juice topically or taking it internally. If you are allergic to plants in the Liliaceae family such as garlic, onions, hyacinths, lilies and tulips, you may be more likely to have an allergic reaction to aloe.

Who should not take Aloe Vera?
Aloe Vera SHOULD NEVER be used by ANYONE suffering from a gastrointestinal complaint.

SAVASANA? 
Is a posture we do in the moksha series at the beginning,middle & end. It is intended to rejuvenate body, mind and spirit.

What happen in savasana? 
Savasana or Corpse pose, completes the cycles. The specific postures have lengthened the muscles surrounding the various joints, stimulation nerve conduction and illuminating the chakras. The inversion reconnect us to the parasympathetic nervous system. Now, it’s to complete with deep relaxation.
Theta brain wave patterns predominate in Savasana, with electrical activity oscillating and vibrating at frequency of 4-8 Hz. This state of brain function engages the intuitive unconscious mind, accessing seated memories and connecting to the collective unconscious. Healing occurs in this state. Deeper states of Savasana take the brain wave pattern into Delta (0.5-2 Hz. frequeny). This is the brain wave state of dreaming.”
