Thanks to an innovative new yoga class which brings together Justin Bieber hits and the art of yoga a new generation are being introduced to Namaste through MTV. Though the typical Belieber likely has little in common with an average yogi, nowhere is it written that pop music and asanas are incompatible. On the contrary, a number of yoga instructors have found great success offering untraditional soundtracks, and seen their rooms filled with newbies. Drawing a crowd for fun or novelty, alternative classes like yogaBiebes in Toronto provide an opportunity for many unlikely students to fall in love with yoga. Why should Beliebers be any different?
Offered on Wednesday nights from 6:30-7:30 at 240 Roncesvalles, VHC PWYC, the classes feature an hour of Bieber favorites such as “One Life” and “Bad Day.” So what happens when you mix yoga and Beliebers? Students at the Village Healing Centre in Roncesvalles in Toronto, Ontario might not have been humming “Om” together, but they were sharing the love with synchronized vocalizations of a sort. According to Rosanne McCollum, the 44-year-old mother and yoga instructor who came up with the idea, the “sweet vocals and hip beats” of yogaBiebs make the practice of yoga more fun and accessible for some. For that reason alone the combination has value.
The classes began on January 29, and as evidence of their worth the word quickly spread through social media with #yogaBiebs tweets and instagram pics of McCollum’s fliers for the class spreading like wildfire. It was not long before fellow Belieber and MTV VJ Phoebe Dykstra found out about the class that brings Justin-Bieber-style to Namaste and signed herself up. On Feb. 7 Dykstra showed up with her film crew and this happened:
The spot on MTV was just three minutes, but for Rosanne McCollum, who refers to herself as a “shameless Belieber,” the spot provided at least 15-minutes-worth of fame. Bearing her own testament to the love spread by Justin Bieber with a tattooed image of his signature heart-shaped hand sign, McCollum honestly believes (or is it Beliebes?) in using his music to get the young girls in a yoga-mindset. She has personally witnessed the power of pop playlists to spread the benefits of yoga, noting that soothing and new age music are not any more appropriate than DJ and dance music. It all depends on the audience.
At any rate, it is undeniable that the Toronto instructor has a winning idea. If the aim of a good yoga instructor should be to gain students and spread the benefits of the practice then McCollum has certainly found a means to succeed. Furthermore, she is remaining completely true to herself while doing so. By promoting a common interest she shares with an untapped yoga market her Justin Bieber-inspired yoga not only brings the teaching of Namaste to MTV, but also gives her an edge-up in the market. As unconventional as it sounds, the professional yoga community would be wise to follow the yogaBiebs example.

Hey, how’s it going?
Did you hear that the powers that run this world want to put a RFID microchip in our body? It will contain not only our bank accounts but our personal information, making us total slaves to the elite. This will cause us to lose even more of our privacy.
Did you know that this RFID microchip matches perfectly with the Mark of the Beast in the Bible, more specifically Revelation 13:16-18?
“He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name…”
Referring to the last days, this could only be speaking of a cashless society, which we have yet to see, but are heading towards. Otherwise, we could still buy or sell without the mark amongst others if physical money was still currency. It’s amazing that the Bible foretold a cashless society!
Did you also hear that the Jewish people are in the process of bringing about the Third Temple prophesied in the Bible by the prophet Daniel, Jesus, and Apostle Paul? They deny Jesus as their Messiah and say their Messiah will be revealed to rule the whole world under a one world religion. They are not even hiding this information, but are actually promoting it. You can view videos about this on YouTube.
When Donald Trump made Jerusalem captial of Israel in late December 2017, the Jewish people said this was a big step for them to build this Third Temple. They even printed a Temple coin with president Trump’s face on the front with king Cyrus'(the man who built the Second Temple in the Bible) face behind him. On the back of the coin is an image of the Third Temple. They are selling these coins to raise money to build the Temple.
People have been saying for many years that the end is near, but we needed not only the Third Temple, but also the technology for there to be a cashless society for the Mark of the Beast to be a reality.
There is much more to know, please visit http://WWW.BIBLEFREEDOM.COM to see all the proof!
GOD BLESS, JESUS LOVES YOU!
Hey there! Wanted to share with you some very important news! Did you hear that the elite are planning a world where we all have a RFID microchip implanted in our body? This will be part of a one world cashless society, making us total slaves to them. More importantly, did you know that this microchip matches perfectly with the Mark of the Beast in the Bible(Revelation 13:16-18)? “He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name…” Referring to the last days, this could only be speaking of a cashless society, which we have yet to see, but are heading towards.

The Jewish people are in the process of building the Third Temple prophesied by the prophet Daniel, Jesus and Apostle Paul. They deny Jesus as their Messiah and say their Messiah will be revealed to rule the world. This information is public, and you can see it for yourself. Do not be deceived, this man will be thee Antichrist! For proof of all this and much much more, please visit http://WWW.BIBLEFREEDOM.COM Jesus loves you, He is calling you!
