Week Five of "The Challenge"....

     We have just finished the fourth week of Pura Vida's Hot Yoga Challenge!  Four weeks my friends!  Half way there!  How awesome is that!  You should all be very proud of yourselves.  Seventeen of you started this challenge at the beginning of January and here you are already.  What's so cool about this is that you can in fact make time to exercise.  You are accountable.  This takes commitment and time and you're doing it!  You should all feel really good about yourselves.

     You can say that it took the challenge for you to do this.  You can say that it's the people doing the challenge that keep you motivated.  You can also say that it's the staff or that it was because of your New Year's Resolution.  But in the end I say, it's simply because of who you are.  Noone is doing this for you.  Five days per week for eight weeks straight takes commitment, dedication, sacrifice and will.  And you know what?  You deserve that.  You are all those things.  You're a person who doesn't quit.  You're committed to finish what you start.  You're a person of your word.  Hard to find these days.  You're dedicated to see things through.  This speaks of your character.  And your will is strong.  This makes you trustworthy and someone others can count on.

     I'm honored to be a part of this.  You guys know I take a lot of pride in all of you.  You represent what our studio, our community stands for.  Strength, fun and individuality.  How can I not be proud man?  Thank you guys for kicking butt!  You guys are the best.  I have one final request.  First and forth most, finish.  And finish strong.  Secondly, once we finish please continue practicing a minimum of three times per week in the month of March.  This will help you maintain all that you have accomplished in the end.

     In closing, my hope is that you realize that you can find and make the time.  Make the time for your health and well being.  That's what this is all about.  You.  Your health.  Your well being.  Thank you ladies and gent.  Awesome job!!!!  Have a great day.

To your health & success,
