Keep your New Year's Resolutions!
Sticking to the plan isn't very hard if you follow these sensible tips.
The experts have little hope for resolutions made in January.
If you made a list for the year, Sassa would like to help you succeed--and succeed fabulously--this time. Here are some tips:
- Set specific goals. Don't say "I will lose weight" or "I will save more". Rather, you can say "I will run a mini-marathon this year" or "I will save ten percent of my earnings each month".
- Write them down. Remember that unwritten goals are mere wishes.
- Take small steps. If you want to run a marathon, start out by going for a jog twice a week, for instance. If you want to start eating healthier, you can resolve to snack on fruits instead of burgers.
- Don't give up. If you encounter a setback, relax. Just try again and take it one day at a time. Don't look at it as having failed. Remember that it takes about 21 days for a new activity or practice to become a habit, and 6 months before it becomes part of your personality.
- Share it on Facebook. Tell your social network like Twitter or Facebook so your friends know what you're up to and how you plan to achieve them. Write them on our Facebook wall! You are making yourself accountable for your pronouncements.
- Find an online community. You can join others who are likewise working on the same goal. This way, you can observe other people's progress, exchange tips and advice, and learn from each other's experiences. You can also create a community if you want. Invite your online contacts to join in.
- Make time for it. Find time to work on your goals every day. If you have resolved to run every day, for instance, set aside running time every single day.
- Set a deadline. This will help you become more determined and motivated.
- Surround yourself with people who can help you achieve your goals, and put yourself in situations that are conducive to reaching your goals. If you want to do more yoga in the morning before going to work, don't hang out too late at night drinking with your friends.
- Celebrate your success. Treat yourself to something that you enjoy (but doesn't contradict your resolution!) for each milestone that you accomplish. Buy yourself a new Sassa Activewear workout set!

Sivananda Yoga,
The Holistic Way to Health
 | |
Sonia enjoys Yoga in Sassa Tank Top 1345 P309.75 and Sassa Full-length Pant 1347 P529.75 available in Sassa outlets now

Sivananda Yoga is a type of yoga that focuses on proper exercise, asanas or poses, proper breathing, relaxation and meditation, positive thinking, and good diet.
In the Philippines, Sivananda Yoga is being taught in Quezon City by Sonia Astudillo, a Reiki practitioner and Sivananda Yoga instructor who got her certification from the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Dhanwantari Ashram in Kerala, India in early 2011. She is also registered with Yoga Alliance as a 200-hour level yoga teacher.
Sonia's students say that Sivananda Yoga helps them curb their craving for too much food, thereby helping them lose weight and reduce belly fat. Even if it is not as dynamic as Ashtanga Yoga, practitioners of Sivananda Yoga attest that the practice is a good cardio workout and core exercise. Each pose, in fact, gives specific benefit for the practitioner.
Sonia explains, "Sivananda Yoga is not competitive, it will help you relax and focus your mind." The 1 to 1 � hour sessions start and end with a prayer so that from the beginning, the practitioner maintains good concentration and peaceful disposition.
If you are looking for a beneficial all-around exercise to start practicing this year, you can try Sivananda Yoga. It will not only help keep your body healthy through physical exercise, it also encourages good eating habits, positive thinking, and teaches you how to relax, meditate, and breathe properly.
You may get in touch with Sonia Astudillo through 0918-918-2369. She teaches students one-on-one, and in groups. She also conducts yoga classes in the studio, and offers pre-natal yoga for mommies who want to keep fit during pregnancy and prepare for childbirth.

It's not just how you look, it's also how you feel!
When you exercise in a studio like, say, a yoga studio, you think about how you look, right? Your clothes have to be the right fit, and they shouldn't look too worn. It's good to think like this, and Sassa has it covered. BUT, as a brand that's more concerned about the comfort of the wearer, Sassa also makes sure that the outfit isn't just pretty to look at, it also needs to make you feel good while you exercise. In other words, comfort is our priority.
Because good material is used and excellent craftsmanship is employed in sewing each piece, Sassa activewear pieces are smooth and soft and feel so good they breathe with you!
Talking to Sonia, our featured woman in health this month, she ran a quote by a famous yoga guru who said, "It's not how you look, it's how you feel." Pretty much what Sassa believes in, as well. Sassa wants to make every woman look good during practice, but more than this, she needs to feel good about what she's doing, what she's wearing, and essentially, what she is being.
