I started practicing yoga over 15 years ago, but mainly used DVD’s. I was intimidated to actually go to a yoga studio until about 5 years ago. After that, I searched for a yoga studio that offered a welcoming atmosphere, knowledgeable teachers, and a great location. I found all of this at Hot On Yoga. The atmosphere is amazing: welcoming, warm, and friendly. The teachers are knowledgeable and challenge me both physically and mentally. And in addition to all of that, Hot On Yoga has the best floor on which to practice yoga! Until this year, I had never tried a hot class. Now that I’ve tried a HOT class, I won’t go back. When I got a cold, I went to a hot class anyway. I thought the humidity in the room might make me feel better. As I went through the poses, I noticed I wasn’t coughing anymore, I was able to breathe, and I felt better. Instead of my cold lasting the usual 7 days, mine lasted only 2. I’ve also noticed that the yoga classes, both the Hot and the Power Vinyasa, contributed to my conditioning for running. I love running 5k’s and 10k’s and am training for a half marathon. I feel more balanced and my legs and feet are injury free! Yoga has improved my running ability and helps me to maintain a strong, healthy body.
