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

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???? _______________________________________

Those are my top reasons why I love Network Marketing. What about you? What is YOUR story? What do YOU like best about Network Marketing?

The word is out….there is a new product that is changing how people are looking at the word RELIEF & BALANCE & ENERGY!

QRS means Quantum Relief Strips. Check out 15 testimonials on the Quantum Relief Strips!

Indeed, there is an all-natural product in the form of a topical ‘strip’ (or patch) that balances your body and brings energy to where it’s needed.

The QRS help balance the chi (energy), balance the Chakras and can bring comfort to areas in need. This product, called Quantum Relief Strips are available only through TAVALA.

We hear testimonials daily: So here we’ll share 15. Perhaps you know someone who can benefit who has discomfort in their neck, their knees, their back, their shoulder, their feet….HECK anywhere on the body.

Acupuncturist often place pieces of the ‘strip’ on the meridians to help bring CHI to those areas. We’ve also discovered by trial and era that the human body has an innate intelligence and even if you place the Quantum Relief Strips on your back, you may find that your wrist or shoulder discomfort disappears! How? Energy travels and goes to the places your body that need it most. Much like Reiki energy does.

For a full detail description on HOW the Quantum Relief Strips Work or How they are Made please email us at info@DaveandJoy.com and we’ll send you an information sheet that will explain everything in simple terms.

Ready for some Testimonials? Here you go!

“My shoulder had been sore and had limited mobility for well over a year. I placed a full-size Quantum Relief Strip on my right shoulder blade and within 24 hours my mobility improved 100% and I could raise my right arm above my head. Unbelievable. I always thought I had an ENERGY BLOCK in that area, but how do you prove it? It really doesn’t matter-these strips WORK!”
“Had stiffness in my back area and within a minute or two of applying the Quantum Relief Strips, felt a difference. Less tension and relief! I love these strips!”.
“Have you ever had acid reflux or DISCOMFORT due to issues with digestion? A friend had a bad bout with acid reflux yesterday and placed a small piece of the Quantum Relief Strip on his esophagus area (middle part of upper area). 1″x2″ in size. Within minutes he had RELIEF in that area and the burning in his chest/throat area subsided. Brilliant product… the QR Strips bring quantum energy to parts of the body that need it most!”
“Bummer, I burned my hand while cooking and the skin was red and began to form a blister. OUCH! Someone told me to place a Quantum Relief Strip in that area and not only did the discomfort go away within minutes, but the skin never did blister and 1 day later you can barely tell there was a burn. These strips should be in everyone’s household/medicine cabinet.”
“My knees were bothering me this morning when I remembered that my Quantum strips had come just before I left for Pensacola last week. I hadn’t had the chance to try them out so this morning I cut one sample Quantum strip in half. Put half on my left knee and half on the right. I wrote for about an hour and then got up to get a refill on my water. No knee pain at all! Not even a twinge. I AM A BELIEVER!”
“I’m 80 and have a knee with bone-on-bone. I put a strip on and felt relief in 15 mins.”
“Tonight I am extremely grateful. My daughter called me earlier in the day and said she was so full of mucus and was uncomfortable. She has Bronchiectasis which is a terrible lung condition that produces excess mucus. I told her that I was going to check an acupressure chart and see where she might try the relief strips. I suggested that she try placing 2 relief strips 2 inches below her collarbone on her chest. She called tonight and said that she has had no mucus discomfort after putting on the strips and was able to nap in peace. What an amazing product we have!!”
“Alright I have some feedback for the QRS again! I do pool physical therapy 2 times a week, the strip on my neck & under my arm both stuck strong through the 45min of pool time yesterday & still on today with relief. I was even able to endure using the resistance paddles & no fatigue or irritations from it today!”
“Holy cow…I used a half of the Quantum Relief Strip last night. Lower back/sacrum was hurting and I couldn’t find any relief. Thought I would a chiropractor today, but put on the strip and within 10-15 minutes I had relief! I even slept so well last night. Coincidence or not- it was my best sleep ever.”
“I’m on wheelchair arrest with a badly broken leg. With Quantum strips, I’m off the narcotics I needed so badly. I’m able to get through the pain with Quantum. In the past couple days, my nerves are starting to wake up… I put this patch on this morning and I’m not feeling the stabbing burn anymore! My surgery was 7/09, I cannot even count how many screws are in there. All I can say is the pain was horrific until I got my patches. Yes, I still had to take the narcotics, but I cut the dose in half and now I’m off them, because of the Quantum Relief Strips!”
My dear friends introduced me to the Quantum Relief Strips recently as they knew I had a rotator cuff injury and was only able to lift my Arm about 6 inches from my hip. On Friday morning I put on the Quantum Relief Strips and was able to lift my arm at least 15 inches up. It reduced the amount of discomfort that I was having which is a mark improvement from what I’ve been able to do over the last couple of weeks…. for me the Quantum relief strips work really great.”
“Just so you know….the Quantum Relief Strips work for every kind of discomfort or imbalance- including Sun Burn! Keep your strips handy this summer!!!!! Last summer I got a sunburn on my back (forgot that area when applying sunscreen) and 1/2 strip in the middle of my back took the pain away within minutes, I slept sound- and it never blistered or peeled.”
I have had a bulging area on the back of my calf just under my knee for almost a year now. I have been unable to fully bend my knee when I do yoga without extreme pain when I’m sitting in child’s pose. I’ve been rubbing it, working it, doing everything I could to try to fix it but nothing helped. Sooooo, this morning I decided to put a quantum relief strip on it on it, and honestly, with all my heart I cannot believe what it has done. The tenderness is gone, and what felt like A small balloon under my skin has reduced to almost nothing. I got down on my knees in front of my mom’s bed and sat in child’s pose without pain for the first time in over a year.”
“I suffer frequent migraines. On Monday the meds just were not giving me any relief… I cut small pieces of our Tavala Quantum Relief Strips and placed them behind my ears. I can honestly say my headache went away! I am a believer in Tavala products!”
“I was having dinner with a friend Friday night and he was complaining of stiffness in his leg behind his knee. This has been going on for a week and getting worse. I got Cheri to put a strip on the back side of the knee and he got up from the table about 2 hours later and zero pain and full movement. He was thinking we tricked him! Pretty awesome result in a very short time. I should have taken a picture of his face with the reaction.”

Pretty amazing results- yes? And these are just 15 of hundreds of testimonials on the Quantum Relief Strips. Most are much longer as people really want to share their story to inspire others to try them.

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?

How Many Calories Get Burned During Bikram Yoga?

Today I was curious about how many calories I burn daily doing 90 minutes of Bikram Yoga… so did a little research. I read several articles and got various numbers so I won’t quote any in particular, but I did like this particular article I read and thought I’d pass it along. This article is written by Benna Crawford.

Hot yoga classes are hot exercise choices for increasing numbers of fitness buffs. The combination of challenging sequences and serious sweating makes them an attractive option for a weight-loss program.

Bikram yoga is synonymous with the style of yoga practiced in a heated, humidity-controlled studio designed to induce sweating while focusing on a standard asana routine. But weight loss equals calories expended, so it’s worth knowing just how Bikram stacks up against other calorie-burning exercise programs.

Counting Calories

Weight loss follows a simple algorithm: fewer calories consumed than calories expended. The Mayo Clinic points out that each pound is worth about 3,500 calories, so if you carry a calorie deficit of 500 calories a day, you can lose a pound a week.

Burning those calories is where it gets complicated. Aerobic activity that challenges the cardiovascular system is the number one calorie burner.

Low- to moderate-intensity aerobic activity, like most yoga routines, burns a high percentage of fat as fuel. Increase intensity with exercise like sprinting — or a demanding yoga routine — and you draw on greater amounts of carbs and protein for fuel. But high-intensity exercise burns more calories overall, so the tougher your workout, the more you lose. Building muscle mass through strength training also cuts calories because even resting muscle burns fuel for energy.

High-intensity yoga provides a vigorous cardio and resistance workout.

Bikram Protocols

Bikram’s hot yoga requires a series of 26 fixed poses, performed under the guidance of a trained instructor in a heated studio.

The poses are traditional Hatha yoga moves, but the performance is a kind of yoga boot camp. The room is heated to approximately 104 to 105 degrees F with a constant 40-percent humidity. During the 90-minute class, participants typically run through the routine twice. Bikram’s website claims that the heated studios quickly warm muscles and increase flexibility so you can work safely with a greater range of motion. You will sweat, so you will notice a water weight loss which does not translate directly to fat calories burned. But you work hard — a Bikram class is challenging enough to be an aerobic workout — and yoga poses use body weight for resistance, so you do some muscle building and high-intensity calorie burning.

Bikram Calorie Burn

Bikram yoga burns more calories than many other forms of exercise and yoga styles. According to Everyday Health’s Yoga Calorie Counter, a 160-pound person performing Bikram yoga for one hour uses 726 calories, compared to 508 calories for Ashtanga and Power yoga classes.

Most Bikram classes are 90 minutes, so the calories burned per session are 1,089 for Bikram versus 762 for other intense yogas. The Mayo Clinic calculates the caloric cost to a 160-pound individual for one hour of high-impact aerobics at 533 calories. For singles tennis, the cost is 584 calories, for swimming laps 423 calories and for stair treadmill 657 calories. As a bonus, yoga’s ability to reduce stress and increase fitness improves your chances of sticking to a diet.

Precautions

Bikram yoga is not for everyone. Hypertension, glaucoma, pregnancy, some forms of osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease are all reasons to check in with your doctor before signing up for a hot yoga class.

If you do add Bikram to your calorie-burning strategies, drink plenty of water to counter the effects of vigorous exercise in a hot room. As the exercise boosts your metabolism you sweat more to maintain a healthy core temperature. In a hot studio with other sweaty bodies, your evaporation system has to work harder to release the extra heat. If you experience weakness, fatigue, dizziness or headache in a hot yoga class, you could be in danger of heat exhaustion or heat stroke and you should seek immediate medical attention. end of article.

So there you go. What I gained from this article for ME is Bikram Yoga good for me at this stage in my life. Today was day 12 doing Bikram in a row.

They say give Bikram 30-days will change your body and 60-days will change your life! Two weeks ago I was nursing a tennis elbow. I couldn’t play tennis due to the pain and working out at the gym had its limitations as well.

I sat quietly and asked my body what it needed and heard a rather loud “Whisper” : “Bikram Yoga”. Really???? I don’t even like yoga. But I listened and here I am enjoying the many benefits of Bikram Yoga.

Although I have NO IDEA if I have lost a pound on the scale, I do know that already my clothes are fitting better AND my flexibility and balance have improved a lot!

If you are stuck in a fitness routine that may no longer be serving you like I was consider sitting quiet and asking your body what it needs to keep you healthy and fit. You may be surprised that it is a new exercise program that you never would have imagined on your own.

Two products that seem to be supporting my new fitness activity are electrolytes to replenish the minerals I lose in sweat, and Quantum Relief Strips for balance, chi, energy to my body.

I’d love to hear from you. Do YOU like Bikram Yoga? Have you ever done 30 days in a row? Did you get fit, more flexible and lose body fat doing Bikram Yoga?
