greetings everyone and happy holidays!

well, as we found out last night, the space is pretty inhospitable for yoga this evening (which is a good thing to be under construction!) so we will reconnect after the new year for our weekly gatherings. stay tuned for date and time.

all the best for a very merry christmas and wonderful new year!

in love,
leah

Welcome Kali Yuga Yoga To The Historic East End
Nashville’s Premiere Yoga Therapy Studio

Leah Lillios, founder of Kali Yuga Yoga, joyously announces the purchase of her future yoga studio space at Martin Corner in the 37206 building in Historic East Nashville. The near 900 square foot space on Fatherland Avenue will house a 600 square foot studio hosting a variety of yoga classes including, but not limited to Vinyasa (Flow), Restorative Yoga and Barkan Method Hot Yoga.

“I’m very excited to share my passion for yoga and educate others about its healing benefits here in the East End” said Lillios. “The studio is a perfect opportunity to grow our yoga community and East Nashville is such a great neighborhood as well.”

At Kali Yuga Yoga practitioners will utilize yoga as therapy to cleanse all three parts of the physical body including tissues of the bones and muscles, mindset of the brain and nervous system and emotions of the heart. Through various styles each session will incorporate asanas or physical poses to heal the body from the inside out allowing one to function at an optimal efficiency level. Classes will adjust to all students challenging intermediate practitioners and enlightening beginners as they commence their yoga journey.

The studio’s director, Leah Lillios, is a trained modern dancer and has been practicing yoga for over eight years. With concentrations in Vinyasa, Restorative and Barkan Method Hot Yoga, Leah became a Certified Instructor and Registered Yoga Teacher through Jimmy Barkan's Yoga College Of India in Ft.Lauderdale, Florida. She recently moved to Nashville and has been teaching at local studios and at the Cool Springs YMCA for the past five years. Currently she instructs at the Magnolia Day Spa in East Nashville and serves as President of the Kali Yuga Yoga Club.

Lessons are slated to begin Monday, January 8, 2007 with a Grand Opening planned for later in the month.

ONE MORE REASON.....

Yoga Body Bliss

A new study published by the University of California at Berkeley shows that women who practice yoga have better body images and less disordered eating patterns than women who take part in traditional aerobic exercises. Study participants filled out surveys about the type of exercise they performed, how often, and their feelings about their bodies.

Action Sparked: This particular study didn't put women into different exercise groups, so researchers can't be sure whether women who already felt good about their bodies tended to steer towards yoga, or if the yoga itself helped improve body image. However, yoga, a mind-body exercise, allows practitioners to tune into their bodies, emphasizing their strengths and abilities, not their size or appearance.

This focused practice is also a great stress-reliever. Yoga could help many individuals (not exclusively women) focus on the positives of their bodies, thus improving how you feel about your body, while helping improve flexibility, strength, and mental focus in the process.

Exercise Extra: Yoga is a great addition to a well-rounded fitness program. Yoga can help increase flexibility, reduce stress, and build endurance.
