π Student Spotlight π
We caught up with HYM student Holly and asked her all about her yoga practice. Let's see what she had to say...π
π₯ Q. What brought you to Hot Yoga Manchester?
π§ββοΈ A. I came to Hot Yoga Manchester during an open house with a friend. Two years ago, I injured my knee, which kept me from running. During class, the teacher explained the healing benefits of practicing the original 26 and 2. Over a few months, my mobility improved, and both knees became completely pain-free.
π₯Q. How long have you been practicing, and what keeps you coming back?
π§ββοΈ A. I have been practicing consistently for over 18 months.
π₯Q. How does your practice make you feel?
π§ββοΈ A. In my practice, Iβm getting better at quieting my mind, focusing on the class, and keeping everything outside the studio from being a distraction. The hot room helps physically challenge my body in a way I would never have imagined from a yoga class.
π₯Q. Whatβs your favorite posture?
π§ββοΈ A. The standing bow pulling posture is my favorite.
π₯Q. Have you noticed any changes in your body or mindset since you started?
π§ββοΈ A. I have improved my physical and mental well-being by continuing my self-care journey through yoga.
π₯Q. What would you say to someone who feels nervous about trying yoga/pilates for the first time?
π§ββοΈ A. I invite and bring newcomers all the time. I always tell them to come back and try again because the second class is so much easier than the first.
π₯Q. What do you love most about this studio?
π§ββοΈ A. I enjoy trying classes with all of the different teachers; each one has their own style and tips for improvement. I learn something new in every class.
π₯Q. Favorite way to relax outside the studio, or any other fun fact you want to share?
π§ββοΈ A. When Iβm not in the studio, I enjoy spending time with my family.
Thank you, Holly, for being part of our community and showing up on your mat with a smile. π π
