Going back through Student Spotlights and testimonials since Opening….
AUGUST Spotlight: Sarah Hagardt
When I first walked into Awake and Align, I knew absolutely nothing about yoga. I was nervous, but I decided to take a chance and signed up for Academy 1.0 with Mary Ivey. That first class changed everything. It gave me the confidence to keep showing up and explore other classes like Restorative, Sweat & Stretch, and Elevated Flow. We are almost done with 2.0.
Looking back, I’m so grateful I took that first step. My body feels stronger, my mind feels calmer, and I’ve found a sense of balance I didn’t know I was missing. But what has made the biggest impact is the people. Every instructor and every person I’ve met has been welcoming, encouraging, and genuinely caring. They don’t just care about helping you improve your yoga practice, they care about you as a person and your physical and mental well-being.
Awake and Align has become so much more than a place to practice yoga. It’s a place where I’ve grown in confidence, found support, and discovered a community that truly feels like home. Taking that chance on myself was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
