Welcome to the “new” Anam Healing & Yoga newsletter and focus. As many of you know there have been many changes over the past several months. I have officially divided the two areas of my business and I am very excited about the upgraded service this will offer to customers and students. The Yoga aspect will remain under the same name, while the Aromatherapy and essential oils will now be produced under Four Blooms essential oils.

“Practice Your Way”

I am thrilled when you decide to practice yoga with me; I love to teach. I am equally happy to know that you have a yoga practice elsewhere; this newsletter is designed to support your practice whatever shape and form it may take. Each edition will include some or all of the following:

• news articles about how yoga can benefit your life
• easy instructions on how to do poses/sequences at home
• special yoga events you might be interested in
• links to great yoga sites
• a brief introduction to yoga philosophy and teachings
• soon I will be able to send free downloads of classes

Yoga and You –

As a yoga teacher, I read avidly and take extra trainings when I can but nothing has helped me learn so quickly as my own personal injuries over the last several months. Using yoga, combined with physical therapy techniques and massage, I have been able to relieve pain in my IT bands (along the outside of the legs), my calves and Achilles and also in the shoulder and neck area.

When you practice yoga, or indeed any form of exercise, it is important to listen first and foremost to your own body. Learning the difference between deep (sometimes uncomfortable) stretching and aggression can be challenging but the rewards are huge. As I heal, I am learning new ways to explore certain poses, creating my own modifications and even my own “new” poses. Everyone has the ability to do this, to move according to the needs of your own body at a particular time and I encourage each of you to explore what feels good to you and if you create something new, be sure to share it – with me and with others.

Very Special Offer:

Celebrations

Coming in October, I will be celebrating my third anniversary in business. I am so happy to still be able to do what I love, I plan to have free yoga classes and information sessions available to anyone interested. Please keep an eye on the website for more details or look for your September newsletter.

Many Many Thanks

I want to extend my heartfelt to each of you, your support has been wonderful and you are the reason I have stayed in business. I feel truly blessed to have work I love and people to share that with. I am always happy to answer any of your yoga questions and concerns.

Namaste,

Lesley
