January 17, 2009, Yoga Style Fitness Bootcamp - A Big Success!
This material taken from Joseph’s blog.
Yoga Style Fitness (Joseph) and Velociti Fitness League had their first of many all day Yoga bootcamp in Arlington last Saturday - January 17. Over 26 individuals attended the bootcamp and they were all of various levels - beginner to advance.
Comments from the attendees…
“Thanks Joseph! I really enjoyed it and am not as sore as I feared!” —Esther
“Thank you for the great workshop yesterday. I am sore, but took a swim today and feel much better. I just loved everything about it - the team of helpers, the yoga sessions, lunch all of it!” —Katie
“Just wanted to thank you so much for the wonderful retreat yesterday! After I left there I went to church, and the gospel reading was when God was calling to Samuel, and Samuel kept mistaking the call, he thought it was from his master Eli. My priest discussed in the sermon that God speaks to us through many different people and in many different ways, and that we have to stop and listen, because we may not always recognize his call. That is exactly what we were talking about at the retreat! I truly believe that yoga makes me a better Catholic! Thank you again for being in my life! God Bless!” —Mary
Comments from the Yoga assistants…
“The people were really wonderful and I enjoyed meeting them, and being able to serve and love them.” —Dana
“It was such a treat to see you in action during yesterday's boot camp and I was so honored to be a part of it.” —Bethany
We are planning on having another all day Yoga bootcamp in August 2009 (see above). Watch for future bootcamps on [my] blog and [this] website….
Much love,
Joseph

36 Students Attend Yoga Workshop: Saturday, June 9
Joseph taught a “Principles of Alignment” workshop on Saturday, June 9 at the Yoga Power Studio in Dallas. This powerful Yoga session focused on the structural alignment of the body, the breathing and the flow of the mind, all of which are connected.
The room was hot, but not due to the heat being on! We had the ceiling fans on, but everyone was soaked in sweat when it was over. Participants said they totally enjoyed and learned a lot. The energy was high and positive.
It was great!
Here is a sampling of the comments from attendees:
“[I am] grateful [to have been] a part of such a beautiful experience. The positive energy that is created from people that have the desire to spend a couple of hours, mat-to-mat, sweating profusely, and challenging their bodies to the ultimate pose is-beyond amazing. As far as suggestions, I only suggest to have more. Anything else is just sweet icing.” — Laurie
“I enjoyed your Yoga workshop immensely. [The] help with the poses was much needed. This was just my 3rd class and can't think of any way to improve it. When the class was over, it felt like I was on a massage high. Euphoria.” — Candy
“The overall experience was great and I am anxious to do it again.” — Debby
We’ll be reviewing suggestions from attendees and offering another workshop in the near future. Keep an eye on these pages for the latest information. If you would like to be on Joseph’s email list, send us a note.
Check out photos from our August 2006 Bootcamp
Many were fortunate to participate in a Yoga-style bootcamp held in the courtyard of the The Sanford House Inn & Spa. It was a relaxing and invigorating day for stretching and reflecting. The bootcamp included demonstrations of the correct way to execute poses, and offered participants not only exercise, but also food for thought. (see photos)
Baron Baptiste & Joseph
Yoga Style Fitness Founder Attends Bootcamp
February 25 - March 4, 2006 - Our illustrious founder, Joseph, attended Baron Baptiste’s Power Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Bootcamp on The Big Island in Hawaii. The week long camp included training, eating, and sleeping. Nothing else. It was a rigorous experience designed to help the attendees learn how best to help their students. This boot camp was “an exclusive hands-on opportunity for those who understand that a yoga teacher’s deepest responsibility—and ultimate reward—is the ability to transform the lives of individuals seeking physical and spiritual growth—leading them to a healthier state of existence.”
