February is such a wonderful month here in Houston. I know this year it's a bit chillier than usual, but how fortunate are we all to not be shoveling snow? Instead we are blessed with a riot of azaelas and other spring flowers, along with days that are growing longer and warmer.
This is the month to plant lettuce, peas, and impatients, and if you've ever had the pleasure of doing a perfect (for you) tree pose and felt the enegy rise from the base of your spine all the way to the top of your head, you will easily understand why the plant kingdom is so very happy this time of year!
We start our school wide Bikram Yoga challenge this month (you'll find more about the challenge below in the newsletter) so stop by the front desk, visit with our incredibly knowledgable and supportive desk staff, and get a challnge flyer to put your name on and post on the wall.
Of course this is also the month we formally acknowledge love in our life and celebrate it with Valentines Day. You might consider giving someone you love a gift certificate for yoga. What better gift is there than something that says "I love you. I want you to be healthy. I want you to live a long, long time"? This reminds me of the loving kindness metta meditation, which seems a perfect focus for this month:
May you be happy.
May you be healthy.
May you be safe.
May you be peaceful and at ease.
Namaste,
Joani, Mike and the BHYH Staff
