SportsPlex & Bikram Yoga to the rescue!
Let’s land this plane people!

I’m reminded that on any given day, life can be a glider or a 747 without wheels. Today, we have the glider.

In an effort to recreate the results you experienced from OmVelO–an incredible physical payoff, and a happy and powerful spirit–a DIFFERENT kind of fitness, I’ve been meeting with community fitness and bodywork experts to come up with transition options. Here is what I’ve found:

Bikram Yoga Jax 1531 Atlantic Boulevard
Neptune Beach

50%off an unlimited monthly or a five class card.

This workout is the hardest I’ve ever done. However, Bikram Yoga can be done by anyone of any fitness level, classes have all shapes and sizes in them. It is cardiovascular, strength and flexibility with an intense mind body payoff. 27 basic therapeutic yoga postures in 90 minutes in a room heated to 105 degrees. At first you think you might die. Then you realize you are the most powerful person on the earth. I no longer have pain in my body. Bikram Yoga Jax has offered OmVelO students %50 off on an unlimited monthly or five class card. I HIGHLY recommend this. Offer begins now. I am practicing there. I teach there Monday/Wed/Fri at 11 a.m. Anusara Inspired Yoga (not hot Yoga).

SportsPlex450 Atlantic Boulevard
Neptune Beach, FL 32266-402
(904) 247-5552

Free Membership for full use of the gym until December 1, if you say you are from OmVelO

$10 per class with Abbie, all other classes free.

SportsPlex is one of the oldest gyms in Jax Beach. They are friendly, have a very unique set up with tons of equipment and major classes.

I will be teaching there the following days:
Monday: 9:15 a.m. Cardio MegaSculpt 6:30 p.m. Cardio MegaSculpt
Tuesday: 6:15 p.m. Cardio MegaSculpt
Thursday: 8:30 a.m. Cardio MegaSculpt

These classes will make use of the kitchen sink–everything you need to get you to a feeling and looking of your own personal best. You know me–we will use fitness balls, tubes, weights, steps, you name it. Which is why I’m calling it mega sculpt. Expect and wonderful adventure.

We will be bringing our signature TRX classes to Sportsplex within the next couple of weeks, as soon as we can build the system. I will keep everyone posted.

Warm regards,

Abbie

Moving Right Along!!!

I have discovered that when challenges happen, the best route is to stay right in the here and now. Learn to say “I don’t know.” Do what today has in store. As one of my 11th Step Yoga peeps says: BE HERE NOW. In Sanskrit: Atha.
So, for today, we have Caitlin on deck at 5pm, meeting in front of OmVelO for a TribeYo Beach Bootcamp. You guys know Miss C. She will get you riled UP!

Of note: There will be no 4pm Yoga practices.

For those who want to be here now, but also plan ahead:

Wednesday:
11 am Yoga with Abbie at BikramYogaJax. 6 pm TribeYo Beach BootCamp with Moni.

October 1, Women’s Guided Meditation with Abbie at 2133 Seminole Road. #5 $20. One hour of powerful work to help you trust and rely on your intuition. Please email me at curvyink@aol.com if you plan to come.

Hopefully more news today about actual opening of the studio.

Git up, git on up.

A little story about OmVelO…

September 23, 2011

When I first started thinking about the studio, I wanted to name it the Sweat Lodge. This is a Native American tradition (not unlike the Vikings tradition of hot rock saunas) of finding purity by sweating out toxins in a small enclosure.
I wanted to name it that because I feel strongly that when we move so vigorously that we sweats out toxins, that we transform, like it or not. The Sweat Lodge is meant to bring about visions and clarity about who you really are. Then I found out that a couple people had died in a sweat lodge and thought, oh, that might not be a good name.

OmVelO was a gift to me from one of my beloved sons, Eben. The fact that it is broken right now breaks my heart because it is something I cherish so because it was an opportunity he gave me. And there is a part of me that feels that maybe if I had done something different this difficulty might not have happened. In any case, it was because of Eben that OmVelO was birthed, and so I want to thank him for it. Our family is accustomed to hardship. During the years Eben was training for football, we pretty much had nothing. We lived on my journalists salary–job one, and my salary as a yogi job two, reader job three and personal trainer job four. Inside of OmVelO is balls of steel. We don’t go down because the studio is unuseable. We keep moving and keep moving closer to the heart of what is important to us, here…the exploration of self through the gateway of a vigorously moving body, mind and heart.

Okay, here we go, hate it or love it. We will not be open for at least a week. Major moisture issues.

But good news! OmVelO Yoga Students are welcomed at Bikram Yoga Jax to practice with Abbie. We will explore the principle of shri–making more beauty out of difficulty. You don’t have to sign in online, just show up, no cost.

Monday & Wednesday @ 11 a.m.
Thursday @ 8:30 p.m.

This will be a warm room so bring a large towel and plenty water. This is a wonderful vibe place. Much like a sweat lodge–safe, purifying and worth trying. Thank you and namaskar Rob.
