Enhancing Yoga With Meditation

By News
by Wes Singleterry

Benefits of MeditationThere’s no wrong way to meditate. The important thing is that we meditate. Why?

Meditation can enhance the “is”-ness of what is by helping us be present in the present moment, deepen, broaden and heighten whatever experience it is we are focusing upon and reduce the fight or flight syndrome.

Meditation is a contrast to yoga in that the body is stretched in an opposite direction than yoga. Physically, yoga stretches the body in one direction and meditation relaxes the body opposite the stretch. As a side effect of the experience, the mind, body and spirit are broadened, deepened and heightened.

For me, my meditation experience has uplifted me physically as well as mentally and spiritually. On the physical side, meditation has enhanced my life in the way of stress reduction, deeper sleep cycles and simply relaxation in general.

On the mental side, I have learned to meditate myself to sleep at night. As a result, I have deeper longer sleep cycles, and awaken fully rested, rejuvenated and restored.

Being so, I am more productive, efficient and effective in work and play. I have also become less angry. Spiritually, I have a deeper, broader, higher perspective of self and relations with others. I have learned to be comfortable in the midst of uncomfortable situations.

So how does meditation enhance yoga? Expansion. The farther we go in one direction, the farther we CAN go in the other direction.

Life is about finding bliss. In each yoga and each meditation I experience, I learn something new about myself, which propels me closer to my bliss. I am happy, healthy, wealthy. Namaste!

Welcome Two New Teachers to Sterling Hot Yoga Mobile

By News

New Sterling Teachers Sterling Hot Yoga MobileThe Mayan Coast here is a beautiful and special place.

It’s where each of the Sterling Hot Yoga Mobile teachers learned to teach the 26/2 sequence that is a key portion of our studio class offerings.

The Sterling approach to teaching is one of compassion and accessibility.

The goal and intention of every teacher on the Sterling staff is to give you a positive, yet challenging experience every time you show up on your mat in the hot room.

In just over two weeks, Sterling Hot Yoga Mobile will welcome two new teachers, but they should be familiar faces to you!

Kenee Lacoste and Tyloria Crenshaw will return to the podium in two weeks. Already they are doing a fantastic job!

While at training here in Mexico, they are spending hours every day taking classes, learning anatomy, studying dialogue and teaching postures.

When they return home, they will be amazing additions to what is already an incredible staff of teachers.

Please join us in welcoming Kenee and Tyloria back to Mobile! Both of them will be teaching their first classes in Mobile on Monday, July 17. Check the schedule and plan to give them a warm Sterling welcome when their return to their home podium!

Kangen Makes Water Healthy!

By News

Kangen Water HealthyAs yogis, we know the importance of proper hydration before and after a rewarding class in the hot room.

But the key to receiving maximum benefit from water consumption really is the quality of the water.

Here are some more great reasons to consume Kangen water on a daily basis:

– 9.5 pH, highly alkaline water, providing an antioxidant boost, helping to fight off free radicals that can lead to cancer, diabetes and heart disease

– Can help to speed up weight loss, especially with a consistent exercise program, like that offered at Sterling Hot Yoga!

– Helps to balance out the effects of an overly acidic diet

– Makes hydrogen more biologically available to the body

– Rich in minerals, purged of impurities

– Tastes great!

According to Sterling member and Kangen water expert A.J. Krause, “If you make it a goal to drink one gallon of Kangen water a day in your for the next month, you will see changes in your appearance, your performance and your overall health that will convince you that good alkaline water really does make a difference.”

Look for even more testimonials in the next few weeks from other Sterling members who have seen the positive results from drinking Kangen water.

Monthly unlimited supply is only $20; that’s 66 cents a day! Isn’t that worth a try to experience Kangen water yourself?

Have You Tried Sterling’s New Classes? Here’s Why You Should!

By News

Inferno Hot Pilates New Sterling ClassesSince returning from our last Sterling Teacher Training in July, Lucille has been working to increase her strength, so she’s been focused on the Iron Hour and Inferno Hot Pilates classes.

She’s already noticed a few things as a result: first, she says she is definitely getting stronger.

She feels her core muscles tone, and sees her arms and legs getting more defined.

Second, she also notices how well everyone is doing in class.

It’s obvious how our Sterling yogis are able to control their breath, and although they are raising their heart rate and building strength, it’s all being done with mindfulness and breath.

The foundation we have all built with the Classic Sterling series is proving very valuable as we move to new experiences!

New Sterling Yoga Classes Yin Yoga Mobile ALDid you see what Bill said the other day?

“I took my first yin class this morning, I have been practicing the 26/2 for more than 6 years now and I have never taken any other type of yoga class so this was a first. I enjoyed it very much, and I am going to make it a point to add it to my regular practice. I have started practicing regularly again, and I believe the yin is going to get me back quicker to a solid 26/2 practice. The class is not heated, lasts about 50 minutes, and is non impact. BTW, the teacher (Michelle) was awesome.“

Thanks, Bill! Glad you are enjoying our new classes!
