I couldn’t sleep well last night and I began to wonder if it is my BIKRAM YOGA “practice” that is shifting things internally and messing up with my night time sleep schedule….and day time energy slumps. They say it gets easier and I can expect to BECOME MORE ENERGIZED – but WHO is they anyway? 🙂

Yesterday was Day 16 of doing Bikram daily. I began to question if what I was doing….a 30-Day Challenge was actually good for me and wanted to hear others experience of what it did for them! So I googled and found many great stories, videos etc. but THIS one put a smile on my face and I continued to read on and actually ‘champion’ her successes.

….and this is where I stumbled upon this part 1 of a gal, Paige Williams, who shared her Bikram story in Oprah Magazine. http://www.oprah.com/omagazine/paige-williams-60-day-bikram-yoga-makeover/all

This girl, Paige, was 80 pounds overweight, divorced, out of work, and deeply in debt. OK, so none of those are me, except I am a 60-year old woman who had never done a BIKRAM challenge and someone, much like Paige, who wants to make peace with my body while balancing my body-mind-spirit connection. Oh and add one more thing, I’d love to drop at least 10 pounds in these ‘infamous’ 30-days. (I’d like to say where the FAT could melt off, but I guess I will have to just wait and see.) One thing I know, a woman with a ‘men-o-pot’ around the belly can not bend into poses easily.

So here is how it was described in Paige’s article. Paige needs a physical and spiritual overhaul. Can 60 days in a Bikram hot-yoga studio really undo years of damage? and this is where it got funny-and accurate.

OK -SO I NEED A PHYSICAL & SPIRITUAL OVERHAUL too, I agree. CAN 30-DAYS OF BIKRAM HELP ME?

Paige writes: “The teacher wants me to make a Japanese ham sandwich. To my knowledge, I’ve never seen a Japanese ham sandwich, but as I understand it, I’m to stand bent with my face to my shins and chest to my thighs in perfect vertical union—I am the sandwich.

I would say I look more like a jelly roll. My flabby abdomen won’t let my forehead anywhere near my knees, and my legs tremble as I try contorting myself into a position my body neither recognizes nor endorses. The goal is to concentrate on stretching and breathing, but I’m fixating on my unpedicured toenails. And the neon paleness of my legs. And the fact that I probably should have shaved.

The students around me are tanned and toned and very nearly nude. Every body glistens. We’re in a Bikram yoga studio, after all, where the heat is set to 105 degrees and the humidity to 40 percent, to facilitate flexibility. The men wear nothing but shorts; the women rock hot pants and halters. Because I’d rather lick the sweat-soaked carpet than bare my wretched flesh, I have on the hot-yoga equivalent of a snowsuit: calf-length sweatpants, a jog bra, and a T-shirt. I’m huffing harder than a serial killer. And we’re only on posture number one.

Posture number one of class one of day one. Assuming I survive, I’ll make the ham sandwich and about two dozen other postures every single day for the next two months, for the notorious 60-day Bikram challenge. I’m subjecting myself to “Bikram’s torture chamber,” as founder Bikram Choudhury himself calls this insanely intense regimen, because the program promises renewal from the inside out—because suffering inside this hot room may be my surest path to survival out in the world.

I need to change so many things about my life, it’s hard to know where to start. I need physical and spiritual transformation, from the mental to the muscular to the molecular. I need to stop treating my body like a landfill. I need stability, which I haven’t seen in so long, I’ve forgotten how it feels. I need a reset button.

“Do this yoga for 60 days and it will change your body, your mind, and your life,” says Choudhury, a former Indian yoga champion who lives in Los Angeles and who is, depending on your viewpoint, either a beloved lifesaving guru or just a really flexible guy who got lucky, and rich, with an idea and a persona. Bikram students believe, and I hope they’re right, that Choudhury’s heat-centric, copyrighted sequence of ancient hatha yoga postures is a transformative agent like no other; testimonials the world over suggest this yoga eases the symptoms of a range of maladies—depression, diabetes, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, migraines, arthritis, back pain, and heart disease, for instance—while relaxing the mind and slimming the body.

“Can’t you just do all that by, like, running every day for 60 days?” a friend asks. Good question, but the answer doesn’t interest me. None of my past fitness activities—racquet sports, cycling, jogging, gym circuit training, kickboxing—seem catalytic enough for the depth of change I’m after.

I’m not a renovation; I’m a tear down. And I’m hoping Bikram is my bulldozer!”

So here I am….JOY, not Paige and I began questioning if what I was doing was sane, smart or worth it. I can say each and every day is different- for example Day 17 was TODAY and I felt GREAT. I could balance stronger, I was less tired (despite not sleeping well last night) and honestly if I had to, I’d actually be able to do a 2nd class later today, which they call a ‘double’! (Now that I think of it, I believe it was the TAVALA TRIM drink I had prior to class today that made a difference) I’ll have to try it tomorrow! www.DaveandJoy.com

Am I going to stick it out? You bet. How could I come this far and not complete the 30-days? I’d truly let myself down if I quit now. 30-days straight or admit I don’t have what it takes.

I began Bikram when I listened to my inner self/my voice tell me this is what my body needs. I wasn’t thrilled to ‘hear’ the message but I believed it to be true.

If you won’t listen, then why ask- right?

I began my personal 30-Day Challenge on August 21st and September 1st Queen City Bikram Yoga, where I go, started their 30-Day Challenge. If I do just mine, COOL, if I do the studios’ it will take me to 41 Days Straight. What do you think? Think I can do it? Think I ‘should’ do it?

I look forward to the day when walking into a Bikram yoga studio is as comfortable to me as walking into a gym or fitness center. The familiarity of a cold 20 lb. dumbbell could really excite me! but in the meantime, I’ll see what YOGA can do for this less-than-limber 60 year old body.

If you happen to live in Burlington VT and would like to join me, message me. My husband joins me 3x a week and the more the merrier!

Why it’s easier to gain weight in summer than winter & How TRIM can help.

I get a weekly newsletter from Hippocrates Health Institute and often embrace many of their suggestions. I admire Dr. Brian Clement (director of HHI) who wrote this article and thought this topic was worth sharing as we, with TAVALA, are now talking to a lot of people who have gained weight this summer and either want to BEGIN TAVALA TRIM or Get Back On the TRIM!

Dr. Clement wrote: Dear friends,

During the summer months people often find how surprisingly easy it is to gain weight, but why is this so? The three leading reasons why it can be easier to gain weight in summer than winter are:

Overheating and moving less
Exposure to extreme heat can cause you to lose your stamina and become less active. Just moving a little may cause your body to overheat and you start thinking, “maybe it’s a good time to take a break about now.” This sort of movement lowers your physical activity level starts to add up over time in terms of the number of calories you burn daily throughout the summer.

Slower metabolism
Unlike in winter when your core temperature is lower the body reacts to speed up the metabolism; in summer the opposite is the case. The higher body temperature results in a slower metabolism and thus fewer calories are burnt.

Eating to stay cool
It’s not hard to find yourself eating summer high calorie foods in the battle against the heat, like ice cream and cool sodas. Before you know it those extra calories are beginning to appear as additional inches around your waist.

We all know that Excess weight can lead to health problems- right?
Although this may not be an issue for some, not losing this excess weight can have some unwanted health outcomes. Excess weight may increase the risk for many health problems, including:

• Type 2 diabetes,
• High blood pressure,
• Heart disease and strokes,
• Certain types of cancer,
• Sleep apnea,
• Osteoarthritis,
• Fatty liver disease,
• Kidney disease
• Pregnancy problems.

Me speaking now: I knew that many people gain weight during the summer months but never quite understood why until I read this article that I received via email today.

When I managed a gym one of our biggest weight loss challenge months was September, a second place to January! But I never knew why…..

So if this is YOU or someone you know who wants to drop those unwanted pounds give TAVALA TRIM a chance. One drink a day ‘keeps the doctor away’…actually….that is a canned phrase, but the TRIM will help boost your metabolism, suppress your appetite and cravings and give you energy- I promise.

Early August of this year I was telling my daughter- in- law, Brie, that we wanted to create a foundation or better yet, work with an organization that was already doing great things in the world, in particular for women and families, and their communities.

She told me of an organization called WEA and immediately after speaking with one of the co-founders, we made the decision to support this organization – Women’s Earth Alliance.

In their own words….

“When women thrive, communities and the Earth thrive. This is one of our core beliefs here at WEA because we’ve seen it to be true. Want to know more? Take a look at this short video sharing more about our origin story and vision for the future!” Check out this brief video. If you are moved, you too can make a donation, either a one time donation OR simply purchase any of our TAVALA products as a customer and we’ll make a 5% donation. (www.DaveandJoy.com)

We are thrilled to have decided mid-August to donate 5% of all our TAVALA customer sales (including sample sales) to WEA (Women’s Earth Alliance) and later this week we’ll tally up all our customer sales from mid-August and make our first of many on–going monthly donations.

So if you are considering purchasing any of TAVALA PRODUCTS (Trim, Control, Bru, Quantum Relief Strips, Alert and Snooze) know that when you order through our website (www.DaveandJoy.com) that a portion of your sales will help this organization and women and communities in need. We AND WEA appreciate your support.

Doing great things, one person at a time…because we can. Tavala has made if possible to contribute in ways that touch our hearts and this is just the beginning.

We are all connected and in this together! If you’d like to contribute to WEA in any way we’ll help you make the connections to make that happen. If you’d like to donate your TAVALA customer sales to WEA or another organization that touches your heart, let’s talk. 802-846-7530

Once again, your customer purchases through our Tavala website will help Women’s Earth Alliance. www.DaveandJoy.com

On August 21st I stepped into Queen City Bikram Yoga (http://www.queencitybikramyoga.com/) here in South Burlington, Vermont. It was a ‘spiritual decision’- as I had recently asked my BODY what it needed….and I heard the loud ‘whisper’ of Bikram Yoga.

If I didn’t believe that our spirit knows best I would have ignored the ‘whisper’ but I had recently injured my elbow due to over use playing tennis, and I needed and wanted another physical outlet….but NOT YOGA.

OK, so today was Day 16 and my 16th day in a row doing a daily PRACTICE of Bikram Yoga. True, it IS a practice…. and an overwhelming feeling of being incompetent with each and every practice. Some days are easier than others but learning to allow and release feelings of not being good enough or being too competitive simply had to be thrown out the window. Instead I am taking one day at a time and my body, mind and spirit appreciate that!

There have been days that my body really wants to rest and not ‘sweat’. And perhaps because being a quitter is a sensitive subject, I am promising myself that not only will I continue Bikram but I will complete 30 days straight!

Bikram said “Give Bikram Yoga 30 days and it will change your body. Give it 60 days and it will change your life.”

Why Bikram now at age 60?

Discipline/Health/Flexibility/Functional Fitness/Detoxification/Weight Loss.

What happens when you take the word IMPOSSIBLE and split it into 2 words?

I’m proud of myself for listening to my inner self. In business when I listen it is always without question, a great decision.

Perhaps Bikram will slow me down enough to realize that life is not a race to the finish line and to appreciate each and every new opportunity.

Have YOU ever done 30 or 60 days straight of Bikram Yoga? If so, I’d love to hear from you.

How I Found Network Marketing and Why I Love it! (or did it find ME?)

Comments Off

Many people grow up knowing they want to own their own business and to be their own boss….and then there are those people like me, who discover an entrepreneurial drive later in life and wonder where it came from.

My parents were not entrepreneurial- they always worked for someone else. My father for the University of Vermont and my mother at a bank or the University of Vermont later in life. Other than my grandparents who were dairy farmers, try as I might the only ‘entrepreneurs’ I knew growing up were my best friend Laurie’s parents. They were authors of several books and articles and even had an invention that brought them residual income from time to time.

As I look back I was inspired by their flexible schedule and time freedom more than anything….but now as I look closer it was also their residual income that seemed ‘cool’ that came from book sales, or articles or sales of an umbrella that withstood heavy winds…even when they weren’t ‘doing the do’.

I didn’t understand or know of residual income back then. Sure my friends parents worked, and when they did they went to their studio behind their house so it didn’t impact the family life and ‘house’….but they seemed to have more leisure time than any other parents I knew. Oh, and due to their job and writing ‘gigs’ they traveled to cool places and had friends with affluence that invited them on fancy vacations, on their yachts etc.

I didn’t start our entrepreneurial but it ‘kind of’ found me!

Since my 30’s I have owned my own business. First it was a network marketing company that “found me”. I had no idea what network marketing was but I was introduced to a product and my passion was health, so it was a natural ‘fit’ for earning additional income. Plus I was working at a gym and had a sphere of influence so if I recommended something, people purchased.

I never made more than $1500 a month with that company but I did travel to Hawaii a couple of times, Florida, Palm Beach California, Montreal etc. and 90% of the time those trips were earned or ‘won’ and no out of pocket cost. I had never stayed in 5 Star accommodations (like the Hawaiian Hilton Villages on Oahu) or had the opportunity to wear ‘glam evening wear’ and party with people who had become wealthy beyond my imagination through network marketing. I remember thinking “I could get use to this”…. and then things changed….the company collapsed with the death of the founder and the direction the two vice presidents were taking did not appeal to me and people divided.

A couple of years later I co-owned and ran an exposition-event company. Once again, in the health industry. (body mind spirit). After ‘retiring’ from that hectic lifestyle after 10 years, at age 49 I decided to get my personal training certificate and get my Transformational Life Coaching certification….and become ‘my own boss’….just me, no ‘partner’ or employees. Since my 20’s I naturally ‘coached’ people to health and fitness…so why not get paid?

That career was geared to working with women and very gratifying. During that time I was introduced to a nutritional product from another network marketing company. Although I honestly had NO intention to become an active rep, it naturally happened as I began sharing products with my clients who could benefit…and they did. In less than 6 months I was earning MORE with my network marketing business so decided to do that full time … with my training and coaching as a ‘part time hobby’.

Once again, Network Marketing found ME!!! Now I was older and wiser and had a better grasp on the industry and how to build teams…. and this was the time in my life that I discovered how much I loved the industry of network marketing and the lifestyle benefits. It’s a CAREER…. a profession- and it takes education to perfect your skills.

So I decided to list “Why I love Network Marketing” so here you go:

I love working as a TEAM, as opposed to on my own.

I enjoy building relationships with like minded people. (some of my best friends came from network marketing!)

I get to choose who I work with and associate with.

I use MY GIFTS daily to build my business and bring on others whose gifts can be complimentary.

I represent a company and product of my own choice and they provide the inventory and send it out on my behalf.

I’m in business with myself but not BY MYSELF. It is a partnership with the company and myself as an independent distributor, or member.

I don’t need to have inventory on hand and if I want to keep a minimal stock, that is up to me.

We are in this together. A true network marketing professional knows that they alone can not build a 6 or 7 figure annual income without working together and helping others succeed.

No matter the economy or job market, you can thrive in network marketing if you have the right company (stability and leadership) and the right products. (preferably consumable and those that are affordable so people can continue to purchase even if the economy goes south).

There is a tremendous sense of satisfaction being in charge of my own destiny. I have no ‘ceilings’ on income and I get paid for what I put into the business.

This is a business of leveraging my time. I love that it is truly TEAM WORK that makes the DREAM WORK.

I own my own time. I can work long hours and every day or take off time for family, grand kids events, aging parents etc. I now own my time whereas when I began in this industry I thought I had to be on the phone day and night and always available 24/7.

I enjoy helping others and get tremendous satisfaction seeing them succeed and reach their goals.

I love being recognized for my accomplishments.

As I grow personally, my business grows. This means personal growth continues and is in the flow. It is something that continues throughout life and network marketing is often called a Personal Development ‘FACTORY’ disguised as a business opportunity.

Travel- I love the trips that are often associated with leadership and success. EARNED trips by reaching certain levels or being consistent is a beautiful reward.

Income. I have never earned this kind of income in any of my ‘jobs’ or other business ventures AND hopefully it can grow each and every month. With our current company I have to say it grows monthly and the bonus incentives grow too. We have HUGE financial goals and I have no idea that we will reach every one of them.

I get to work from home or wherever I am … at the beach, in the mountains, on a cruise, on vacation….

I get to work with my wonderful husband.

I can invite family and friends to join me and help them earn additional income passively or whatever time they wish to put into the business.

WHAT ELSE WOULD I ADD HERE???? _______________________________________

I get weekly emails from www.Goalcast.com that are inspirational and often times I use bits and pieces in Facebook posts or in conversations.

This article, written by Aimee Halpin, on August 22, 2017 caught my attention and I want to apply it to my life. (my Business life, my Personal life and my Recreational life.)

“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t–you’re right.” Henry Ford

“Did you know that your brain believes what it hears on a regular basis? This is true especially if you say it out loud or even under your breath multiple times a day. If you say “I can’t do that,” your brain believes you and makes it come to pass in some area of your life.

As we begin to look at the way we are talking to ourselves, our beliefs start to change. The words that are red flags in our minds are things like: never, hate, won’t, can’t, and even always.

If we tell ourselves things in absolutes, we start to believe them… even if they aren’t true.

Shifting from Can’t to Can: 8 Practices to Put in Place Right Now

You can only lose what you cling to. – Buddha

I want you to think of an area where you are selling yourself short right now. Where do you tell yourself you can’t achieve a goal that would really make a difference in your life? Breathe. Pause. Reflect. I want you to visualize the negative words as balloons and you are now releasing them to the sky.

I am going to show you eight practices that you can put in place right now that will really help you make that shift from can’t to can. All you need to do is believe.

Become an observer of your thoughts. I get it. It’s a tough time, but before you share someone’s opinion or post a status using the words in absolutes, think about if you believe it. You are reinforcing an absolute behavior.
Instead of letting your thoughts and emotions run away with you, start to observe if what you are telling yourself is even true, and whether it is yours. Is it old karmic nonsense that you just have on autopilot playing in your head? Was it passed down?
Change your morning routine to include a positive affirmation: I am healing. I am living a life filled with abundance. You get to be in charge of the positives here.
Remember Winnie the Pooh? How Eeyore acted? Be an observer not only of your thoughts, but of what energy you are putting out there. Are you attracting more negative?
Appreciate the good in your life and celebrate the achievements. Small steps are better than none taken. As Mother Teresa said: “Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.”
I am a big believer in the science of brain-based healing. Studies have shown that thoughts alone can actually improve vision, fitness and strength. Brain chemistry and circuitry are constantly being re-wired as we shift to better thoughts.
When people consciously practice gratitude, they get a surge of rewarding neurotransmitters, like dopamine, and experience more illumination of the mind. If you don’t believe me, practice a gratitude ritual for 30 days and see how your life has changed in that time. It really changes your stress level.
I have seen epigenetics work in my own life. That means I am speaking to my genes with every thought I have. This is the part that might seem crazy, but the truth is that your biology doesn’t give you a reason to give up the fight. Epigenetics is showing that you really can change the way your body reacts and responds. Essentially, how genes are read by cells is actually changed by who you interact with and how you think and respond to life. It’s pretty powerful research.”

OK…. now a question may be “How do you apply this to YOUR life”?

When I first read this article all I could relate it to was my recent activity I just began. Bikram Yoga. Today is day 15…..15 classes in 15 days. Imagine that? When I first reviewed my Beginner’s Bikram book I literally panicked and my self-talk was very damaging. Phrases like you can’t do that, you won’t be able to, what are you crazy? etc. flooded my brain as well as flew out of my mouth. I had to apply some of the principles above….and each day I began to believe in my abilities over my initial self talk. One day at a time!

Sometimes in business I feel my goals are very ‘aggressive’. The goals and numbers often seem impossible to reach as well as the income projections we strive to reach sometimes seem inobtainable- but once again I tell myself- “many people have reached those goals- so why not me? Yes, you can do it too!”

As for our business with TAVALA and products we represent it is interesting that I did a poll not long ago with a group that I called my “test case”. Those that received the best results with our flagship product TAVALA TRIM were those who went into their daily usage with a positive mind and without skepticism. They believed the TRIM would work and they were open to the changes. Those who were what I call “Debbie Doubters…or Debbie Downers” fit into another category. They got mediocre results in comparison to the positive minded group and many claimed they just could not get themselves to remember to drink the one ‘thermogenic’ drink daily.

It’s interesting, I just asked about WILLOW TREES the other day as I kept seeing them in our travels. I think my thoughts lead me to finding this.

The Willow Tree reminds me to be flexible, to bend and not live in resistance.

When the willow tree branches sway in the wind they often make a soft whispering sound. Imagine that sound to be your inner guidance, your soul speaking to you.

Follow that guidance….whenever I do, magic happens. When I don’t- it always ends up being a challenging ‘lesson’. (Then I use those lessons as stepping stones to get back on my path! funny how that works!)

“The willow stands not against the wind, but bows in gentle wisdom, knowing her strength lies in bending…and not by resistance of great forces.

Real strength comes by wisdom, and not by rigid thoughts of a closed mind, but of higher thinking that adapts and moves with life.

Wisdom speaks of knowledge born of love.

It is to see with higher vision, to release thoughts that do not serve.

To move by the embrace of new thoughts, of higher understanding guided by the heart.

Be as the willow in all its majesty, standing as a symbol of great strength and beauty, with peaceful shelter for all who seek.

Move with life, and shine grace upon all in your noble presence.

If you listen, you may hear her gentle song, whispering through her leaves…

She sings of the embrace, she sings of peace, she sings of rest for all who wander yet are not lost.

Such beauty and strength lies in you, beloved.

Learn to bend, and by grace be strengthened.” ~Path Of The Lightworker By Aldys

I began doing Bikram Yoga 12 days ago (at age 60) and wondered today, “What if I had embraced it while I was going through menopause?” After all, many of the yoga poses truly do work on your organs that regulate and balance hormones, as well as your muscles, tendons, and arteries.So….I decided to see what I could find regarding how yoga, (Bikram in particular) can help with hormonal regulation. I found this article, written by Eleanor McKenzie.When I was going through menopause in my mid-50’s I discovered an amazing ‘PATCH LIKE’ product

that when worn on the skin, offers quantum energy to the body. Today they are called Quantum Relief Strips www.DaveandJoy.comand are exclusive to a company called Tavala.These thin strips are made of synthetic silk and look like Band-aids with the letter Q on them. I remember that they helped balance my body, my chi and Chakras, and eventually my hormones so that my body came into balance. When it did- BAM, no more hot flashes or night sweats!

Flash forward to Bikram Yoga and how it can help women during hormonal shifts, menopause in particular.

On average, women experience menopause around age 51. (For me it was around 54 or 55) Some women hit menopause at a much younger age and have to cope with the physical and emotional impact of early menopause. Bikram yoga offers women help with the symptoms accompanying the hormonal changes — if you can stand being in a hot room when you have a hot flash.

Medical Support for Yoga

Doctors Charles Hammond and Lori Bastian at Duke University, and the menopause expert, Dr. Christiane Northrup give the thumbs-up to yoga for women with menopausal symptoms. All agree that it can balance hormones, reduce feelings of anxiety or depression, help you to sleep better, and it can help control hot flashes, which for many women is the most distressing symptom.

Dr. Bastian suggests that yoga also helps support women who are going through the menopause without using hormone replacement therapy, or those women who are trying to stop taking HRT.

Bikram Benefits

Bikram yoga, performed in a room heated to 105 degrees Fahrenheit, may not seem an obvious choice for a menopausal woman, but Dr. Northrup suggests that if the heat is bearable then this form of yoga can help you stretch your muscles, a sentiment Bikram yoga instructors agree with.

She also points out that yoga helps stabilize your weight, reduces blood pressure and increases your overall fitness, making it easier for you to cope with the wide ranging number of menopause symptoms. Love To Know Yoga reports that some menopausal women love the rapid detoxification process Bikram provides, although it does warn that the heat of the room may be unsuitable for anyone experiencing regular hot flashes.

Bikram Yoga and Osteoporosis Study

Osteoporosis, or thinning of the bones, is a significant problem for a number of menopausal women, so the weight-bearing, but low impact, yoga postures are an aid to maintaining bone density. A 2010 study published in the scientific journal “Chinese Medicine” on the effects of Bikram yoga on osteoporosis and bone mineral density showed encouraging results for menopausal women. The study participants — a group of pre-menopausal women — took Bikram classes three times a week for three years. Bone scans were taken at the beginning and end of the study period. The results showed that the women had a bone mineral density above the average expected for healthy women of a comparable age who had not practiced Bikram yoga.

Bikram Yoga Considerations

According to Bikram Choudhury, if you do his yoga for 60 days it will totally transform your body, your mind and your life. However, before signing up for a Bikram class there are a few points to consider. If you have diabetes, cardiovascular or respiratory problems you might find that Bikram is too hot and too strenuous for you. If you have any of these conditions you should consult your doctor, and talk to a qualified Bikram instructor, before starting classes. Also, if you haven’t exercised for some time, you may find the Bikram yoga style too demanding for a beginner, and you may prefer a less strenuous Hatha yoga class.

If you do choose a Bikram class, stay well hydrated and alert the teacher if you experience discomfort, such as hot flashes.

So there you go…a potentially powerful way for women to take control of their body, their hormones and get mega health benefits. I am not sure I would have been open to Bikram Yoga back when I was going through menopause- I was more into the weight training fitness programs like P90X which both Dave and I did together twice, back to back. 180 days- wow!

Joy’s Suggestions:

If you are experiencing hormonal shifts/changes in your life (whether it is menopause or not) I suggest giving Bikram yoga a try. Also use the Quantum Relief Strips, placed below your belly on the Dan Tien. The strips will help balance your body’s energy, chi, Chakras etc. and allow your body to reach a peaceful, comfortable place where it can self-regulate what it needs.

Give the Quantum Relief Strips time to work….especially on hormones. I don’t recall if it was in my first 28-days or 2nd month using them when I began to notice tremendous benefits!

Aren’t our bodies miracles?
