5 Tips To Spring Into Summer With Yoga!

I confess I need a little more Spring in my step as I make plans to - Spring in Summer 2014 with Yoga Flava. 

Here are 5 tips to help keep you motivated as we prepare our mind, body and spirits for the remainder of Spring, moving into Summer.

1.  Easy does it - Have a taste.

My Yoga Flava YouTube videos offers you the opportunity to observe and learn;  anatomically-correct descriptions of each pose, guided meditation, interviews and news.

2. Find a Yoga Flava Playa
 
Everything is better when you have someone to share it with! Convince a friend at your same experience level to attend some classes with you. This will allow you to let your guard down and enjoy the experience a little more.  Find out more about my private and / or couples session in-person or online.

4. Do What You Can

Come to your mat each time with an open mind and a compassionate heart, and you will be surprised at how much easier the poses will come to you!

Lots of students give up their practice when they cannot conquer Crow pose after only two weeks. Understand that when you enter the world of yoga, all the rules about competitiveness, comparison, and deadlines that we are raised with go out the window.


5. Pace yourself and enjoy the journey

Yoga is about simply enjoying the journey. Your journey. Not the journey of the person on the mat next to you. Your uniquely beautiful journey.

Los Angeles Retreat - 3/19 - 3/21/2010 - Sensual Healing by the Sea - Spring It On



Robin Downes' Yoga Flava Presents

Spring it On - Retreat Weekend Getaway

All Inclusive Program for Sensual Healing by the Ocean side

March 19 - 21, 2010

Marina Del Rey, California

Yoga Flava * Creative Chakra Spa * Celebrity Chef Kai Chase


This immersion weekend is a wonderful opportunity to rejuvenate yourself as you enter the spring season of new growth and rebirth. Our primary goal is to open our hearts and minds to new possibilities for self-growth and positive direction in our lives. All participants will be guided in creating a personal plan to bring home and integrate into their lifestyle.

Yogic wisdom recommends working with the body's natural sensual shifts that occur at the juncture of seasons. During this Spring Equinox weekend, we will learn tools to clear out excesses and toxins accumulated over the winter. It will include yoga, meditation, self-reflection, and healthy cooking classes. This includes a cleansing diet, and a de-toxifying spa treatment.
