strengthened and joints
become more mobile.

through effectual breathing,
which stimulates the entire
digestive system.

skin problems. Yoga helps
banish physical and mental
tension, while increasing skin
circulation and helping to rid
the body of toxins.

Fitness Questions
for Patti.
Can Yoga help me get
in shape and lose
weight?
Yoga, more than 4,000
years old, has long
been a method of
meditation and fitness
that incorporates
mental and physical
awareness through a
series of postures
(asanas), breathing
and mediation.
Much overeating is a
direct result of stress.
Yoga can help relieve
stress as it improves
your balance,
concentration, and
muscle strength &
flexibility. Yoga
promotes breathing
and deep relaxation
techniques to aid with
tension and anxiety.
Yoga develops the
ability to control the
mind, which increases
self-control and
resolve.
Concentration,
visualization, and
meditation, all a part of
yoga, lends itself to
self-control in all areas
of your life, including
your weight control.
The asanas (postures)
are intended to
balance the
metabolism,
endocrinology system
and nervous system,
clearing energy
pathways to and from
the brain. This results
in better focus and
clarity of thought.
Yoga has the ability to
heal the damage from
negative thoughts and
emotions. The
interplay of harmonized
movement, mental
calmness and deep
rhythmic breathing
bring the body into
total balance.
This gives you a
feeling of well being
and contentment,
which will deter the
compulsion of
overeating. Mental
outlook seems to
improve after just a few
sessions for most
people. This peaceful
state of mind improves
the functioning of the
entire body and mind.
Yoga works on the
body from the inside
out, giving you the
relief from the strain
and pressures of life.
This harmony makes
overeating or mindless
eating less likely, and
your new self-discipline
will expand to all areas
of your life.
The meditation,
strength and deep
breathing required to
do yoga positions
prepare you
psychologically for
greater weight loss by
enhancing your
self-image, your vitality
and, most significantly,
your self-control.

I’m late, with the newsletter!
Important Notice!
As many of you know, we may
be moving soon. I was hoping
to have the specifics for you,
but nothing has been settled
yet. I will let you know just as
soon as I know.
The road work has made it
unfeasible to stay where we are
with the enormous overhead of
the retail space. We won’t be
going far. We hope to move
just down the road. More
details coming soon. Watch for
another newsletter soon.
Until then…we are charging
just $3 a class ($2 for the noon
classes).
Take advantage of these low
prices while we are going
through a transition. See
November schedule.
If you have any questions
please email me at
fitness@bodyspiritfitness.com.
The web site will have the
latest information also.
