2. SERVICE: INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE BY MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
AND CORINTHIANS
"Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't
have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make
your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart
full of grace, a soul generated by love." Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Let all that you can do be done with love." Corinthians 16:14
Reflect upon how you serve and what are your intentions for
service in the New Year...one person, one act at a time. Then let
that service be truly from your heart for the highest good of all.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
3. TOUCHING LIVES, ONE TEEN AT A TIME: SERVING COMMUNITY YOUTH
The Magnificat High School yoga program is now in its 9th year.
Each Junior takes a 4-5 yoga stress management classes with
Bhumi's Yoga teachers, just as they might take ice-skating,
bowling, or tennis as a part of their Physical Education
requirements. We discuss stress and look at the mental and
emotional components as well as learn the yoga postures for
physical well-being and prevention of sports injuries.
Harriet Russell ("Bhumi"), Director, speaks on the West Shore
Chamber of Commerce business panels for Career Education classes
each year at Bay Village and Westlake High Schools, The message
beyond the details is: Do not worry at 17 about making one final
lifelong decision about career, but rather do your best each
moment, keep learning and exploring, be open to change, and get
to know yourself so that your choices will come from what
inspires and fulfills you to your highest potential.
"Making a living is not the same as making a life."

5. OHIO CAREER EDUCATION COORDINATORS AND WOMEN'S CITY CLUB
MENTORING PROGRAM BENEFIT FROM BHUMI's LESStress TRAININGS
Recently 25 Career Education Coordinators from all over N. Ohio
Harriet Russell (Bhumi) at La Centre in Westlake, Ohio. These
professionals were going through many changes with unknown
factors related to budget and job security. In an engaging,
interactive lecture format, they were re-inspired from Harriet's
vast experiences of her own major changes throughout life and
given insight and techniques for handling those stresses.
Harriet Russell also gave a session to the Women's City Club
Mentoring Program participants. As one member watched Harriet
enter the room with sparkling eyes and a sense of joy, she
commented "I want some of that!"
LESStress is about finding balance and perspective even in the
face of difficulty.
Bhumi's LESStress Corporate Trainings are customized programs in
stress management and the body-mind connection with conflict
resolution. They are trainings, not yoga classes, and appropriate
for any group.

6. BHUMI'S YOGA TEACHERS GIVE SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY:
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CENTER AND LAKEWOOD TEENS
In the BHumi's Yoga Teacher Training we emphasize the concept of
"Karma Yoga", volunteering and giving without incentive for
personal reward or gain. Each trainee does a karma yoga project
before receiving their graduation certification.
Then, When these new yoga teachers go out into the community,
they have already embodied the spirit of yoga. While continuing
to take care of their own health in body, mind and spirit, they
also continue to give what they have received.
The Center for Domestic Violence (formerly Templum House) has had
two Bhumi's Yoga teachers who have instructed yoga and stress
management techniques with staff and children and clients.
In Lakewood, a group of Bhumi's Yoga Teachers are planning to open
a yoga studio near the high school for teens to come and learn stress
management techniques in an open, safe environment at at minimal
cost.
