Studio South Yoga Virginia United states

My name is Katy and I’m the founder of Studio South. Once upon a time, I couldn’t touch my toes (the V-Sit was never my friend in grade school), I wasn’t flexy bendy or in particularly great shape. Quite frankly, after taking a few random yoga classes I disregarded it as something those “other people” do. I didn’t think I was good enough. As fate would have it, I stumbled upon Hot House Yoga Studio in Virginia Beach. I went looking to drop a few pounds and found so much more. I spent the summer of 2010 falling in love with yoga (insert images of Dirty Dancing here … me as “Baby” and yoga as Patrick Swayze). At the time I was wife and mother of 2 babies (2 and under), and now yogi. I discovered that yoga helped me on all levels … what does that mean? For the first time in my life, I became very aware of who I am and how I treat myself (ie what I eat, what I think, what choices I make). Plain and simple, yoga made me aware of the present moment. I’m far from perfect, but yoga helps me to be present with my family, my friends, and myself. Yoga slows time down in this crazy, fast paced world. Hot Yoga Hot Yoga is a therapeutic sequence of postures practiced in a heated, humidity controlled room. This prevents injury, allows for deeper releases within the muscles, and detoxifies the body. In Hot Yoga, the room is intentionally heated because of the benefits that heat offers the body. Heat protects muscles as they move through their full range of motion. Barre Our custom-in-studio-developed method of Barre, called BARRE Philosophy, fuses strength training techniques from ballet with Pilates and Yoga. The high energy, low impact program works to tone, define, and chisel the whole body. And get this… you don’t need any dance experience and you certainly don’t need a partner!
