Did you know that Bikram Yoga is a Perfect Complement to Running?
Here’s Why:
+ Increased Lung Capacity & Stamina
+ Injury Prevention & Quicker Recovery Time
+ Increased Flexibility & Dexterity
+ Improved Focus & Concentration
But don't just take it from us! Check out this testimonial from Linda:
'As a long time runner and triathlete, I'm very familiar with the aches and pains that come from training. After 20 full marathons, 3 Half Ironmans and countless shorter races, I'd come to think that my hamstrings would just be chronically tight. But when I tore my hamstring in the 2007 Seattle Marathon, I told myself that once it healed, I was going to do something to improve my flexibility.
That resolution lead me to yoga, and ultimately, to Bikram Yoga at Stafford Street Hot Yoga. The difference it has made in my flexibility has been nothing short of miraculous. I still recall my first class and attempting "Standing Head to Knee Pose". I told the instructor that it would be impossible for me as long as I continued to run. I couldn't even extend my leg to 90 degrees. These days, not only can I extend my leg, but I can touch my head to my knee and stay balanced while doing it!
What surprised me most about Bikram Yoga at SSHY were the other benefits: Improved balance, increased mental focus, increased strength, better ability to deal with hot racing conditions, and improved overall toning. Last year, I had my best race season ever, with a personal best in the 10K, Half Marathon and Half Ironman. I credit Stafford Street Hot Yoga with helping me stay healthy and injury free throughout!'

We combine the best of our services to help and teach you the best way to treat yourself and feel incredible!
10 days of yoga is the perfect platform for helping one turn themselves around. You first need to sweat out toxins and stress, creating space in your body and your life. Then re- fuel with Daily Macrobiotic remedies and Ayurvedic, Chinese, and other treatments and treats!

*Cupping is a chinese medicine technique used to stimulate and encourage flow of the meridians in the body. i.e. if you have shoulder pain, cupping will help alleviate the pain by increasing blood flow/energy flow, if you have slow digestion, it will increase health to the organ and organ systems.
*Marma Facial massage is a gentle facial massage with herbalized oil. Marma points are vital points all over the body that revitalize muscles, complexion and psyche. It removes blockages from these energy centers giving physical and psychological relaxation and strength.

Macrobiotic Musings
We come into this life indebted. Not to be a downer, but having been given LIFE is a gift we can only give back with by distributing joyfullness and thankfullness to everyone we meet throughout our lives. The earth gives back ten thousand grains in return for each grain she has received. "One grain, ten thousand grains" is the biological law of this world. If you violate this law, you cannot live happily. If you cannot live by this law, you will be most unfortunate, "a man/woman punished and confined in the prison called 'sickness, misery or difficulties'." (Ohsawa)
You must become your own doctor. Your own teacher. (This is why we look in the mirror during class) Coming out of the fog that our comfortable, conditioning creates, is not easy. But no matter how you look at it, fight it, argue it, pay for it, beg for it, trade for it, NOTHING can help you heal, grow, change or achieve Self-Realization but YOU.
We don't FIND ourselves, we CREATE ourselves. The attitude you take before the action you take is of upmost importance. The attitude of gratitude will help you heal faster, attract abundance, and help you manifest your dreams more than any action done with the look of woe-is-me. The harsh news: It takes hard core discipline to keep your self in a state of gratitude. Much easier to complain and get stuck in the vicious cycle of negative self-dialogue, guilt and laziness. We become easily disillusioned, and addicted to our worry, our sadness and self-pity. The Good news: IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START FROM SCRATCH. Each moment we are given another chance to breathe, we can summon our will and start over... get back in the ring and go for our best life possible!
If you want real freedom and true Self-Realization, then seek a re-education of yourself and learn the Order of the Universe (they don't teach it in the public school system). Study what challenges your arrogance and habitual ways. Don't just seek the cure, seek the education that will align you with your innate wisdom and limitless power.
Blessings on your path,
Tannis
