What happens after 90 days of hot yoga? PARTY!
What transforms in your life after a 90 Day Hot Yoga Challenge? Ask Melina...
Melina didn't commit to 90 consecutive days of hot yoga...at first.
Her spirit was bright from Day 1: her big warm smile was her calling card and her final farewell after each class. Every hot yoga teacher looked forward to her presence.
After Melina's 30 Day Challenge, she felt the call of a new beginning: how about 45 days? Forty-five is another hot yoga milemarker. As her 45 day finish line whizzed by, Melina saw her new horizon at 60 days, another hot yoga milestone.
Then came inspiration to journey on; something about 90 days of hot yoga felt complete. Truth is, Melina's hot yoga transformation began even before her 30 Day Challenge kicked off. For years, she had suffered with symptoms and effects of undiagnosed mercury poisoning; then, even after diagnosis, the cures were complicated and without much relief.
Until hot yoga. The results were unparalled. And Melina had found herself in her practice.
Today, Melina is a Riverflow Yoga Teacher Trainee and upon graduation, she will bring her smile and her spirit to all of you as a hot yoga teacher here at Riverflow. Look for her around March, 2013. And til then, look for her in every class through November 29th, and, we suspect, beyond.
Melina's 89th day coincides with Black Friday (now Hot Friday in her honor) and she's not going to let this one whiz by: she is celebrating BIG. Melina is hosting a party on her vineyard, and the entire Riverflow hot yoga community is invited. That means YOU.
Because everyone has something to celebrate. And everyone can share in Melina's personal victory.
This is the way to do EVERYTHING, yogis: to really celebrate every moment in your life and make a HUGE deal out of every accomplishment. Not just the awe inspiring, 90 Day Hot Yoga Challenges; every day and every hot yoga class is cause for celebration.
At Riverflow we treat you after every class: our reception room becomes your celebration room, complete with chocolate dusted almonds and espresso beans, dark chocolate brownies sprinkled with sea salt, organic banana chips, melt in your mouth bite-sized chocolate chip cookies, organic pears, honey crisp apples, tiny sweet clementines (I won't list everything as we like to surprise you!) and of course, celebrants.
When you stop to savor and celebrate yourself, you expand your hot yoga benefits. And you allow hot yoga to teach you about joy.

MELINA YOURE INSPIRATION TO ME FROM DAY1. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!
Parul you're too sweet! And thank you Rhonda for the post!
It'll be a super fun 'hot friday' evening together, so please click over to the e-vite and RSVP!
I agree that it's important to make celebrations a daily habit. It's something that I've realized through this challenge! Those lines in the sand are a human need. Both the big and the small, and the edible...(those salty chocolate almonds really do the trick...)!
So come one come all and let's just C-E-L-E-B-R-A-T-E!
90 day challenges, 30 day challenges, our awesome hot yoga studio, making new friends, post-Thanksgiving buddha bellies, listening to great music, enjoying great wine...let's celebrate it all, all the time! :-) I hope to see you all there!
Such amazing people that come to Riverflow. Love meeting, teaching, practicing next to, and conversing with everyone of you! Love my second home.
Woohoo Melina! Congratulations. Your determination and resolve are an incredible inspiration. Rock on! XOXO
