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.
Email: robin@yogaflava.com
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.
FREE & LIVE ONLINE INTERACTION! Join me on the first day of Spring 2014 (Vernal Equinox ) is Thursday on March 20th.

De-tox Winter 2014 For A New You! - Happy New Year!
Because the days are much shorter in the Winter, you’re aware of
the need to get more natural sunlight to ward off the effects of
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), caused by light deprivation. And you
take special care to nurture the organs of the season, the kidneys and
the adrenal glands.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS CLEANSING IN WINTER?
The holidays tend to bring on weight gain for most people.
Our bodies are striving for balance with nature, so
as the season shifts to winter, our bodies need support with nourishing
foods that support the kidneys (the central organ of winter).
Winter builds up mucus in the body which can lead to allergies, getting sick, feeling sluggish.
Instead of making resolutions for quick fixes, detox is a way to set an intention for the year. An intention to take care of yourself with a clean-eating lifestyle plan.
You get to connect with the season and start to notice the difference between stress eating vs. real hunger.

energy to the heart energy and then to the third eye for right decisions

An easy-going, free flowing, meditative
session that gets you in touch with the subtle essence of your sensual
energy. Based on the ancient teachings of The Kama Sutra (“Kama” is love
and “Sutra” is teaching) – The Art Of Love. Also the eastern teachings
of Tantra (A spiritual method or system that takes into account the
“inner” and “outer” realities)
Take the time to cultivate a
state of being that opens your heart with a sequence of Yoga Poses, that
provide ancient moves to contemporary grooves. Once your heart is open
you can begin the journey that leads to an invitation to intimacy.

the journey - ENJOY!
"Yoga" is an ancient science designed to restore the mind,
body and soul (on both gross and subtle levels) to its connection with
the source. It does this by massaging and cleansing
unprocessed (blocked) emotion from your energy channels, while
implementing techniques that cleanse and focus the breath, mind and
nervous system. With clear channels and a steady breath, you are
prepared to enter the practice of meditation so that you can
experience your intellect free of corruption and begin to tap into that
contemplative, raw, truth-touching, life-altering experience of what
you are really all about.
"Flava" is a hip expression for contemporary style. I will personalize a program for your style / level / health condition.
"Skype" is a revolutionary program that anyone can download onto their computers for free and use to video chat with anyone else who also has skype -world wide.
So put these two things together and we’ve got a revolutionary method
of practicing yoga by bringing ancient science and modern technology
together.
Imagine having you very own tailored yoga practice and imagine learning it in the comfort of your own private home.
Who is it for?
Skype your Yoga Flava is for practitioners of all levels,
however if I find you to be extremely advanced I may prefer to teach
you in person or otherwise will happily recommend a teacher who is more
equipped to accommodate you than I.
How is it Done?
Each sequence is designed specifically for your unique mind, body and spirit.
I have created a questionnaire designed to unearth energetic strengths
and weaknesses that once completed allows me to gain the insight
necessary for the creation of your practice.
I am able to lead you through your practice
by verbally guiding you as well as visually demonstrating the asanas.
And because I am able to watch you I can offer you verbal corrections,
as well as explain to you what it is that we are doing, why we are doing
it and how it is helping you.
1. All that you have to do is set up a consultation (email: robin@yogaflava.com) and
I will email you a waiver and questionnaire. Once I receive you answers
I can begin to review and summarize a yogic approach that is going to
work best for you.
2. I will email you my findings and we can take a
little time to delve into any areas that need clarification. We can do
this consultation process via email or via skype so we have a chance to
meet and you can make sure that you are happy with what I’m saying and you want to move forward with me.
3. Once we agree on a approach, I will design your method. Each sequence contains components of asanas, pranayama, visualization and meditation techniques that address and nourish you personally in every way, internally and externally.
4. Then we set up a date for your first session, whenever you want.
5. I call you on skype. You answer. We turn on our
video cameras. You set your computer up on a table and I demonstrate and
guide you through your practice.
This is a proven program. The system works. Though I am not
there to work with you hands on, there is an element of empowerment
delivered by making corrections on your own via verbal communication.
This empowerment is key to your growth.
It will take work and dedication on your part, but you can do this and I’m here to help you every step of the way.
What You Will Personally Gain
Clarity on what is causing you stress and discomfort in your life and how to start fixing it now.
A firm grasp of the yogic techniques that are best for your unique mind and body.
The ability to start off (or changing foot) on the right track so you can stop wasting time and wondering if you are heading in the right direction with yoga.
Confidence in taking proactive action in initiating a deeply beautiful spiritual and physical regime.
Knowledge of your temperament and why harnessing this knowledge is the cornerstone to your yogic success.
Knowledge of your dosha, and how this guides you in the direction of reclaiming perfect balance.
The realization that there is something more, something deeper and how to access it.
Exhilaration at the realization that you actually CAN make any move you want to make in your iife.
