💜🎂 HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAM 🎉💗
•
•
We love Pam! Today we celebrate her as she completes another trip around the sun. Happy Birthday 🎈!
•
•
Not only does she teach yoga with a gentle and strong edge, but her calm and soothing energy and voice brings everyone into a place of ease. Everyone feels welcome. And no matter your level, you are challenged to your individual edge.
•
•
With simple cues and a smooth flow all of a sudden you find yourself in an unexpected pose. Then she say … and now press into your hand, turn from the waist and reach up. With each exhale deep into the pose 😳🥵Then when you look up, she is opening effortlessly into Parivrtta Trikonasana. 😳😯Dammit Pam!
•
•
We love and are inspired by her gracefulness as she shows her strength with such grace.
•
•
Happy birthday to yoga badass Goddess !!! Thank you for sharing yoga 🧘🏽♀️ 🧘🏽♂️ 🧘🏽 to Albuquerque for over 20 years. We ❤️ you!!!

🎶 Feeling exhausted?
🎶 Need a break?
🎶 Restorative Yoga with LIVE music
•
•
We are super excited to welcome Aimee Conlee back to Bhava. Aimee is trained in Yoga of the Voice, a Reiki healer and is a joy to be around. She’s bringing sound healing (bowls , bells and chimes) and chanting to our Wednesday restorative yoga class at 6PM led by Martha Pino .
•
•
This special class is the perfect mid-week break you’ve been looking for.
•
•
Restorative Yoga is all all about slowing down your mind and opening your body through passive stretching. During long holds of various seated and lying poses, your muscles and connective tissue (joints, ligaments, fascia) are given time to soften and let go, releasing tension. Using props, you are held and your body is supported, leaving you feeling relax and restored.

See what’s new at Bhava - not what you expect 😃🦶✋💪

✨💫 NYASA 💫✨VIN✨💫
•
•
The Sanskrit word NYASA means “to place”. well, that’s simple enough but … maybe a bit more info …
•
•
….. “to place“ means “a particular position or point in space“. Applying this to yoga postures, we put our body in a specific position relative to the ground. Each pose begins by PLACING our feet 🦶hands✋ arms 💪 or hips… as the foundation. It grows upward from there.
Up ⬆️ Up 🆙 Up.
•
•
The Sanskrit word VIN means in a special, sacred, or intended way. So to VIN a posture is to create it in a special and intentional way.
•
•
Putting these two words together in a special way creates the word VINYASA. Vinyasa means moving fluidly from pose to pose. Said another way,
….
“ Mindfully placing the entire body in a special way creating each pose to its fullest and then moving fluidly to the next pose.”
-
…
Level-up and VINYASA it with music and good vibes (bhavs) with Saturdays at 11:30.
•
•
We love Claudia and her passion for finding challenging flows. Her joy is
helping students try more advanced poses and flows. Oh, and signature red lipstick 💄 is the bomb

We acknowledge the past and ongoing native resurgence and resistance to the colonization of this land. We ask all who gather here to recognize in your hearts and minds the original indigenous peoples and stewards of this land we are living on.

More exciting news!
I am thrilled to welcome Alexander Rodriguez to the Bhava’s teaching staff. Alexandra came through Denver via San Francisco. Kari Kwinn, a dear teacher, recommended her. She began practicing 15 years ago and then decided to go deeper and signed up foe YTT. Her enthusiasm is only matched by her bright and welcoming smile. Her passion to help students slow down and find their best practice is what keeps her stepping into the seat if the teacher. Not only does she teach Vinyasa flow but she also specializes in Yin yoga.
Exciting news!
We are super excited to welcome Claudia Gonzalez to teaching Bhava’s staff. I first met Claudia at a yoga festival right here and Albuquerque. Her down to earth vibe balanced perfectly with her vibrant red lipstick. Over the years her dedication to Yoga and her continued practice inspires those around her. Her willingness to challenge her self while honoring Yoga‘s roots shows is what makes her such a badass.

3 C’s on how to give back;
1. Care
2. Compassion
3. Concern
Giving back brings your awareness into the world around you and gives you the chance to help and support some one else.
Why does this matter?
1. Takes the selfishness in our lives and replaces it with selflessness
2. It builds stronger social connections to friends and community
3. It also makes us happier and healthier too
The 3-G’s to maintain a healthy life:
1. Create a Growth Goal every day
2. Give back… One small act of kindness daily
3. Gratitude… Give gratitude or even the tough lessons.
Right now is a huge time of change in Albuquerque with students going back to in person schools. The teachers are managing both in person and still virtual for those who chosen to stay. These are the times we are maintaining healthy habits will help so much.
Fill in the blank:
Just because _______.
Just for the fun of it _______.
Just right now________.
What bring back to your inner knowing? ... that sense of ease & enjoy?
“March”ing toward your wellness goals.
Goals are steps toward something bigger.
What inspires you to keeping marching forward?
What inspires you to create a life that feels good?
How to be happy:
The good news is we are happy and joyful. We came into this world in this state. Through our experiences and choices we have moved away from this state. This quote says it all.
“I have lived a long life and had many troubles, most of which never happened.” – Mark Twain
The challenge is choosing joy over suffering. Here are a few ways to short circuit your habits and practice happiness.
Return to this state joy:
1. Taking a movement break
2. Jump rope or hola-hoop
3. Practice Breath of joy
4. Puppy memes
