130 POSTURES, 5 CLASSES, 1 DAY
For the second year in a row, a team of students and staff at the Fulham and Balham studios will be getting very sweaty by completing every class on the day’s schedule in aid of Sport Relief.
Last year we raised an amazing £1,500 and this year we are determined to smash that total.
This March, thousands of people across the UK will be taking part in sports events to raise money for Sport Relief. The money that is raised will help to transform the lives of poor and vulnerable people, both at home and across the world’s poorest countries.
You can support the teams by making a donation either Balham or Fulham's fundraising pages or by popping some money in the collection buckets at the studios.
We are still looking for people to join the teams at Fulham and Balham. Why not see how much more un-realised potential your body has, push your practice and accept the challenge? 
If you are interested please email oriana@hotbikramyoga.co.uk or speak to someone at the studio reception.
In support of Sport Relief, an initiative of Comic Relief, registered charity 326568 (England/Wales); SC039730 (Scotland) |

"I wanted to say 'thank you' for letting me help the studio with helping-hand shifts, and participating in the Red Nose Day 5-class Bikram challenge.
The 5-classes were definitely a mental challenge, but at the end, those who participated felt amazing! I couldn't sleep that night (I had to dance and sing out loud by myself at night in the park!!) we all came closer as fellow yogis as we finished this challenge with pride and sense of achievement."

| 60 DAY YOGA CHALLENGE - WATER FOR HAITI |

Suzana Silva Sousa is embarking in a 60 day Yoga challenge, from the 31st of January to the 31st of March 2010, to raise funds for Haiti.
The water sources in Haiti have always been questionable, but now they are extremely dangerous. Earthquakes destroy water systems and their electrical distribution. Hand-dug wells become useless or contaminated with cholera, typhoid, and other waterborne diseases.
This high and urgent need for clean water was the basis to choose Water Missions International as the charity to fundraise for, as they have been having an admirable response to the earthquake.
My goal is to raise £3000, which are sent directly to the charity. Any donations of any value are highly appreciated. Thank you all for your help and support.

Following a technical hitch with the lights at the Balham studio last week, I discovered that a candle lit class went down very well! Many of you said how much it helped you focus on your balance and what a calming and relaxing experience you found it.
So we have decided to give it a go on a regular weekly basis.
Friday 5:30pm class at both Fulham and Balham studios will be held as a candle lit class. This class is not suitable for students on their Intro Offer.
What a fantastic way to end the week! Please let me know if you have any feedback on this and if it is a success we may look to introduce the 7:15pm on a Friday as a candle lit class too. |

The Complimentary Posture Clinic was a huge success with over 50 students attending. It was a great opportunity to ask questions and take a deeper look at your practice.
We hope to have more regular posture clinics soon. |
