Check out our weekend schedule! There are tons of opportunities to practice with some of our AMAZING teachers! Also, sorry for the cut off on the last one. It will be taught by Joseph Reising!
Hello Instagram family, We hope you are having a good week so far! Here is a quote to start tomorrow with! "Confidence is being present within the moment.” Remember to smile, as its so beneficial! _________________________ Also, meet Lindsey Young! She is a yoga teacher at YS who teaches on Mondays at 7:15pm in our EL studio. She likes to teach in a way that helps you to remain comfortable. She provides tons of modified poses to fit your needs. However, she also keeps a small challenge in her classes. Her flows are typically longer, but she gives the "cool-down" flow you need at the end. Her hope is that you leave her class feeling both calm and at peace. Put practicing with her on your calendar for Monday nights! 🌙✨
Mantra : Kindness is King __________________________________ Meet Matt one of our spin instructors. His teaching style is described as an encouraging drill sergeant. This is in a good way! He pushes you to really give the class your all, but aims to make class unique and exciting. He likes to remind people that class is your "me time" so when you enter the room, you are safe from all your worries, fears, and to-do lists. Take time to enjoy one of his workouts!
"Do not speak unless you can improve the silence" ________________________ This week as a studio we would like to encourage kindness. We can do this in various ways such as: 1. Striking up a simple, but genuine conversation with someone. 2.Holding a door open for another person. 3.Smiling as you walk past a stranger. 4.Remembering to be polite 5.lending a helping hand These were just a few ways to show kindness.

We were! _______________________________ "Nothing worth having comes easy" ________________________________ The quote above is so prevalent in everyday life whether it's at work, in school, or regarding an activity! This is Abby, she is also a yoga instructor here at Yoga State! Her teaching style is typically described as empowering, reflective, and fun. She like to focus on the transitions between poses, so that the flow becomes rhythmic, sort of like a dance.

She spends a lot of time creating playlist to incorporate in her teaching, and uses the music as a tool to spark inspiration and feeling. You are meant to be in her classes as they are SO invigorating. Her teaching style is power vinyasa, which is typically flowy, almost like a dance!
