Aloha love,
Here we are, at the completion of another calendar year...
 
This time of year is such a perfect time for reflection back upon 
what we created with the past 12 months of our lives. 
 
Whether you are one to set goals, intentions or any other type of 
structured way to put your ideas and dreams into a written form, 
I feel one of the most powerful things we can do is acknowledge
all that you have accomplished already both inside of yourself 
and out in the world. 
 
For me, the real juicy goodness comes from acknowledging the powerful 
expansion that occurs in our hearts, minds and souls. 
 
Thoughts like, am I a more compassionate person then this time last year? 
Do I have a good relationship with my father (mother, husband, wife, boss, etc)? 
Have I been of service to others in a positive way, 
when they needed me?
 
These types of thoughts make us realize the multi dimensional 
creatures we are, and how everything affects everything. 
 
So this weekend (or right now!), take this time, to sit with yourself. 
All you need is a paper and pen and your own open heart and mind. 
 
Write 3 headings: 
 
1). What did I accomplish this year? (list EVERY LITTLE THING! you'll be suprised by all you have done, and it will boost your confidence to take the next steps)
 
2). Which relationships did I invest time to cultivate, strengthen &/or heal this year?
 
And then consider:
 
3). What am I most inspired to create with the next 12 months? 
 
Every new year (and every day actually) 
we get to start brand new, with a whole new set of paint brushes
and a clean canvas to create the landscape of our heart's desires and dreams. 
 
*Create (Visualize)- What does your heart & soul desire to create in 2012? 
 
*Partner (Give)- Who can you partner with to gain (and give) the support 
necessary to take your ideas to the next level and manifest into the material world?
 
*Opportunities (Receive)- What opportunities are appearing for you now,
that may be in alignment for you to simply open the door
and let in the blessings you've been calling in?
 
*Let go (allow)- What must you let go of, that is no longer serving you, 
that will allow your life to be more 'In the Flow?'
(ie - pride, ego, being right, etc)
 
And last but not least, 
 
*Transform (Become)- What areas of my physical health must I address immediately, 
since I understand that my physical health and condition is often
a map of my mental, emotional and spiritual self expressing itself through 
my physical body. It may take some time, but now is the best time to begin!
 
These questions should keep you busy for a little while :)
 
It is my humble desire to help you in any way I can. 
I have created a few new opportunities for us to connect,
if you wish to take our relationship a bit deeper.

We're adding a Pranashama YTT in Miami Beach, USA!

If you didn't know yet, I have relocated back to Miami Beach, FL to live.
After almost 2 years in LA, I missed my warm aqua blue ocean,
clean air to breath and amazing sunshine. They don't call Miami
"Magic City" for no reason! It is truly wonderful here :)

I can't wait to share this place with you!

 
I've been scouting for locations to host a training,
and have found a perfect one!
 
This March (dates tba asap) I will host a 7-14 day 
YTT program, which you can earn up to 100 hours toward
your yoga teacher training certification in the gorgeous Miami Beach :)
 
If you are interested in learning about this, there will be a limited 
number of spots available and pre-registration must be made by Feb. 1, 2012.. 
so post on facebook or email me directly if you would like to be put on the 
waiting list for that training.  And stay tuned for more details.

The contest is going great. We have over 30 entries now, and growing. 
If you have a desire to join us in Bali this June for the 30 day yoga training 
retreat, but finances are an obstacle, please enter to possibly win a scholarship. 
Keep in mind, we will award more then just the full ride. We also 
are offering several $500 scholarships to help people out with tuition, 
for this life changing transformational Journey of a Lifetime.

Cleansing, Yoga & The Fountain of Youth

"Follow your heart, but be quiet for a while first.
Ask questions, then feel the answer. Learn to trust your heart.
Follow your passion, and success will follow you."
-- Arthur Buddhold
 

I hope you followed some of the important cleansing suggestions I mentioned in our newsletter last week. I sure did! I was following stage 3 of the 30DYC diet plan this week and consuming 1-2 green smoothies each day. Like always, it was a fantastic experience!
 
What did I feel?
 
*Better digestion,
*Cleansed digestive track,
*Improved energy levels
*Decrease in body fat
*and some nasal congestion that I was experiencing completely cleared up in a matter of days. 
 
It's a powerful practice and habit to create, to cleanse one week out of each month. 
 
I've been doing it for years and I encourage all my clients, students and people who follow my programs to join us in this routine. It will only serve you in the long run, with great health. 
 
I've heard so many times people ask me, "wow! how old are you Dashama?" and when I tell them, they are almost always shocked. The reason for this is simple: they say I look about 5-10 years younger then I am. In fact, I had my metabolic age tested and the tests confirmed this~ it said I am physically the age of 14! That takes into account how the organs and inner systems are functioning, bone density, body fat to muscle ratio, etc. 
 
I attribute my youthful appearance and vitality in large part to my diet, yoga and exercise practices. 
When you let go of stress, toxins and the heavy burdens that are weighing you down, years can be lifted from your face and body in a matter of moments and over night you can be transformed. (sometimes it takes a bit longer, depending upon how ready you are to let go). 
 
That is one of the motivating forces that has kept me sharing this information for years. 
I see the benefits in my own life, I hear the success stories from people around the world who follow this lifestyle and I am always inspired by the break throughs people experience when they integrate some of these simple techniques and habits into daily living. 
 
Bikini Season is Just 11 weeks away!
 
With just 11 weeks until bikini season officially begins, NOW is the perfect time to begin the 30DYC Renew You program! This is the most comprehensive system I've ever released. If you haven't tried it yet, join hundreds of others who are currently participating and enroll to get the support of the community and me on your team. 

TEAM = Together Everyone Achieves More
 
And on this team the winning formula is: You + 30DYC = Healthy, Happy, Habits
 
For a limited time, you will receive the 6 -30DYC DVDs FREE with the program when you order by April 1. 
 

What's New? 
 
This week I am focused on creating the Yoga Teacher Training manual for our program in Bali. 
I am including over 7 sequences and 200 poses in the manual, all from the photos we shot 2 weeks ago for the Journey to Joyful expanded edition that will be released in September for National Yoga Month. 
 
The sequences are the same ones I teach at the live events and that we will be practicing in Bali every morning and afternoon. Each is geared toward strengthening, stretching, balancing, healing and creating harmony in the body, mind and soul. 
 
I am also teaching several of these sequences in Canada for the Whistler Yoga Conference, coming up in May. 
If you are able to join us, that promises to be an amazing event in one of the most beautiful places in North America, 
Whistler BC is known for its majestic snow capped mountains and pristine natural surroundings.

Blessings to your success and happiness.
Have a beautiful day!
Love, Light and Namaste, 
Dashama
