View this email in your browser Namaste,  Happy Lohri, Pongal, Sankranti, Uttarayan! The days following Jan 14th are considered as auspicious. They help our bodies and minds to start getting acclimated to the increase in Sun's light on Earth. It might be confusing for us in Lehigh Valley as mid January - March usually indicates peak snow season!  However the traditions and foods of Sankranti are very healthy, generate heat and energy. Sesame, jaggery, cane sugar, nuts. This is exactly the kind of food that is needed for our bodies to push through the shoveling, gloves and flu season.      So in the next few weeks, load up on all that is good for your body and soul and join us at the temple this Sunday for a much needed start of the week recharge! Snow Cancellations : If we encounter bad weather on account of freezing rain, Snow or sleet we will consult on the weather by the prior Saturday night on local news and send out emails just like these to your email account. We will also inform the teachers so that they may send you a back up text. If you do not hear from us then please know we have classes. Kindly make sure that you are in communication with us via any or these methods to make sure that our weather alert gets to you on time. Satsangh :  We will continue our tradition of offering Suryanamaskara at the start of Balvihar session 9:50 till 10:00 am as we have done in the past few years. At HTS Balvihar, we have always strive to come up with innovative ideas and welcome people who serve the community.  Smt. Sumedha and Shri. Paresh Kashalkar are one such couple who have guided us in this routine for past few years. We thank them and HSS for their time, efforts and enthusiasm to bring the benefits of Yoga to our community. Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh has undertaken the initiative of Suryanamaskar Yagna. We hope for such positive ideas to flourish and multiply. Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutations) integrates simple Yoga postures in 10-steps  that, along with easy breathing technique, can provide immense health benefits to both the body and the mind. A set of ten yoga postures provides good exercise to the whole body, calms the mind, and sharpens the intellect. It can be done anywhere, by anyone of any age, irrespective of faith and beliefs.  Balvihar Cafe will be closed on January 27th due to HTS scheduling.  Thank you for your understanding.
