Day 6 - Stay healthy through the detox process...

Tips from Manas for staying healthy through the detox process: 

There are a lot of changes going on during this cleansing process. You are shedding weight, purifying your body of toxins, gaining mental clarity, and most of all you are SWEATING! 

But along with these benefits, there are a few things you need to be weary of so you can gain the full and LASTING benefits of this program. 

1. WARM WATER: There is a reason your body craves warm foods and drinks when you are ill. It is trying to tell you, "Listen! My digestive system is weak right now because I'm trying to fight off this cold! Help me out!" Hydration is good, but it should be warm so that the actual uptake and assimilation of the water is quicker and more complete. 

Warmer foods are easier to digest and will put more emphasis on your detox process as opposed to having to worry about digestion. Warm soups, kitchadi, cooked veggies, and sweet fruits are all (for the most part) easy to digest. 

2. SLEEP: Sleep is essential for this process. Six days into the challenge your body is weak. It is straining itself to keep you bending and twisting in all those crazy positions Tammie puts you in! Deep sleep (stage 4) is where all the recovery and healing of your tissues, muscles, and organs take place. If you aren't tapping into this deep sleep, you will only weaken your muscles and tissues, and maybe even injure yourself.

3. And lastly, a gentle reminder that this is not just a physical transformation. There WILL be a lot of emotions and thoughts surfacing at this time. It is part of the detox process. It is important to acknowledge these thoughts, and just as they came out of nowhere, let them go. Practicing Detachment in all senses of your life right now will only benefit you in the long run. That doesn't mean ignore your partner or children!! It means honor yourself. Give yourself plenty of time to heal and allow your body to nourish your mind and soul. 

If you have any questions or just want to talk, you are more than welcome to call me or email me! 

So proud of everyone! We are halfway done!! Time to finish strong!

Day 5 - Let the ghee commence!

The 5 day ghee cleanse is the final gathering of toxins into a basket 

before emptying or taking out the garbage!

Day 5 not only marks the halfway point, but also marks the beginning of the ghee cleanse.
One of our yogis, Carol, mixes her ghee with warm almond milk and cinnamon. Delicious!
This is the brand of ghee that we recommend if you have not picked yours up yet. You can find Ancient Organics at Whole Foods Market. 

It was a record-breaking day in Roseville this morning for Hot Belly Yoga with Tammie. A total of 22 students! Wow!The energy in the room as palpable.

"Have to say I'm having a lot of fun creating new dishes with the Khichadi."
~Kristi, yogi

""Ghee" in your tea is key. I can see that changing in the students. I can see the emotion speaking but most of all I see the beauty within exuding from the outside."
~ Tammie, yoga instructor



"I began my ghee cleanse and I feel wonderful. I feel more connected to myself than I ever have."
~ Claire, yogi

Day 4 comes to a close. Students are experiencing great results already! Standing tall, increased balance and flexibility, less inflammation in the body. Yogis are feeling more energetic, mind is more clear, they feel lighter and most importantly - they are feeling like themselves again!

Rekindle your fire, Rekindle your life - Day 3 of Hot Belly Challenge!

Our very first 7:30pm Hot Belly Yoga class, concluding Day 3 of the Hot Belly 10 day yoga challenge!

Yogis were surrounded by candlelight. This class was soulful and emotional.

Today we celebrate The Law of Detachment - In detachment lies the wisdom of uncertainty . . . in the wisdom of uncertainty lies the freedom from our past, from the known, which is the prison of past conditioning. And in our willingness to step into the unknown, the field of all possibilities, we surrender ourselves to the creative mind that orchestrates the dance of the universe.

Looking forward to what tomorrow, Day 4, will bring. Namaste.

Issues in your tissues? - Day 2 of the 10 day Hot Belly Yoga Challenge!

Day 2 completed!

This detoxifying challenge includes daily Hot Belly Yoga, a Soul Yoga t-shirt, detox tea, detox oil, and a Hot Belly detox massage.

Every day, yogis are asked these three questions:
1. How did you feel before class?
2. How did you feel during class?
3. How do feel after class?
Their answers are incredible! We cannot wait to see these beautiful lives transformed in 10 short days.

"New people are still signing up just wanting to be a part of this important autumnal cleanse. They are inquisitive and genuinely interested in a healthy transition." 
~ Tammie Fairchild

Hot Belly Yoga - 10 Day Challenge - Day 1!

We are under way!! The Hot Belly Challenge started this morning! 

18 yogis have accepted this challenge! 

The premise of this book is to understand how big of a role your digestion plays in your everyday functioning. When we have a healthy digestive system, we set ourselves up for success! Everything you eat is either feed dis"ease" or fight disease!! Choose to strengthen your inner fire and take control of your life! 

"First day of the Hot Belly Challenge was better than I imagined. All the students were eager to detoxify before the winter chill. Building strength, grounding and lots of pranayam. Tea is the Key! Gratitude to all these amazing participants and students." 

~ Tammie (yoga instructor)

"The energy in the room was so positive, I felt connected with everybody in the room. Manas read my pulse this morning and I am on FIRE, I am a Pitta! This experience helped me really go inside and feel how I need to cool that fire." 

~ Lisa (yoga graduate and student)

Soul Yoga offers a Kids Yoga class for Lil' Souls

 

Yoga at an early age is a great gift to give our children. It encourages compassion, cooperation and self-esteem. Physically, it enhances their flexibility, strength, coordination, and body awareness. Yoga also encourages children to self regulate, providing them with tools to help calm their bodies, clear their minds and concentrate.
 


Our Lil' Soul Kids Yoga class is about exploring and learning in a fun, safe and playful way. We strive to support the development of creativity, cooperation, and confidence. This class is child-based and honors the innate intelligence that lies within every child, while taking into consideration the how the needs of children, differ from a those of adults. We offer a "nontraditional" yoga class for ages 3-7 that is both engaging and interactive, encouraging children to use their imagination as they embody the characteristics of familiar animals and objects. Classes include songs and stories and also support language and vocabulary development, number sequencing, social skills and science concepts, all with a Yoga twist as we learn to communicate with our words and our bodies.
Lil' Soul Yoga brings the marvelous inner light that all children have to the surface and lays the foundation for a lifelong practice. 

Ashley Freeman, RYT is a mini yogi's certified instructor, has worked as a preschool teacher and holds an AA Degree in Early Childhood Education.



Our Lil' Soul Yoga classes are every 1st and 3rd Saturdays of the month. Only $10 per student! Please call 9167978550 for more information.
