40 Days to Personal Revolution at Be Luminous Yoga

May 6th-June 15th, 2012

Led by Scott Francis (yoga & meditation teacher) and Lauren Oktay, N.D.

At it’s essence, the 40 day program is about developing skills and practices which help you cultivate inner fulfillment: a deep sense of well-being, vitality and flourishing that you can experience even in the face of life’s gnarliest challenges.

Sounds good, huh? Who doesn’t want to dip into an interior well of peace and comfort anytime?

Through 40 days of sustained yoga practice, meditation, and self-inquiry, you will gain insight into how you can change patterns that no longer serve you, and how to cultivate practices and patterns that free you to act more fully from your true Self…which is the surest way to live a life full of meaning, peace and altruism.

Once again, I have teamed up with Scott to enrich the whole health/nutrition aspects of 40 Days to Personal Revolution.  During our 40 days together, we will guide you through a program of energy-restoring, life-enhancing, health wisdom. Each week in the series will build upon the next, with a consistent emphasis on a balanced stress-reduced life — one which incorporates yoga, rest, sunlight, healthier eating, and mindful breathing.

Who should revolutionize? Any of you who:

• seek a different kind of mental and physical challenge: one that trains your body, opens your mind, and expands your heart. (Sore muscles 100% guaranteed.)

• want to shift your diet toward nourishing, cleansing foods, and adopt self-care practices that will prime your body for wellness

• are tired of being stuck, and would like to identify and begin changing self-defeating habits and patterns

• are eager to identify and make room for life-enriching habits and patterns

• wish to develop the ability to stay engaged in, and open to your here-and-now experience

• want to uncover your heart’s deepest desires: how do you want to interact with and relate to the world, other people, and yourself? When and where are you aligned with purpose and doing what truly matters to you?

• put everything and everyone else first and realize it’s time to carve out space for yourself, before you enter the spent, tired-wired zone

What will the 40 days include?

  • 40 days of yoga (You’ll be practicing six days out of seven for 40 days…woohoo! You can do a gentle home practice or take more restorative classes when your body needs rest)
  • Daily meditation with top-notch instruction from Scott (he teaches from YEARS of experience which makes all the difference)
  • 21-day cleanse with supplements and guidance
  • Guidance on nourishing, whole living
  • Weekly home-study questions to spark self-reflection and self-discovery
  • Weekly inspiring group meetings and a celebration party at the end to celebrate the 40 day process of getting unstuck and moving forward (yay!)
  • A copy of Baron Baptiste’s book 40 Days to Personal Revolution

One of my favorite things about working with the body and mind is that we often end up with way more than what we set out for!

You might come to 40 days with a specific health or life goal in mind—losing weight, replenishing your energy, or making more room for yourself. As you move toward your goals, you’ll also be cultivating the best parts of yourself—confidence, openness, flexibility, joy, resilience, courage, kindness, humility, forgiveness, and lightheartedness. If you’re ready for a holistic pursuit that promises deeper, transformative change, join us. And if you’re trembling in your boots, definitely join us!
