In April of this year, a couple months after my dad passed, I knew I needed something to keep me physically healthy and keep my mind healthy as well. I knew yoga was the way to go because I had tried it in the past and knew how good it was for BOTH mind and body. So, I started at Dragonfly because I knew Dfly had the Barre classes as well and was dying to try one. That Barre class led to a few Fire classes, Flow, Fit and MadPower; before I knew it I was hooked! 

Prior to Dragonfly I had done a few hot yoga classes in 2011 to de-stress leading up to my wedding and I had a few yoga DVDs at home that I did in my living room every once in a while. I enjoy everything about the classes. The staff always greets me with a smile and by name; the instructors are SO helpful and easy to approach not to mention motivating. And I love the variety! I see such a difference in my strength, muscle tone, etc.!

Six months after moving to Madison, I started looking around for a yoga studio or gym to join – my desk job was turning me into a couch potato!  I got Groupons for two different studios and tried both, since I was a bit intimidated by the heat at first.  The community and teachers at Dragonfly won me over, and of course now I love the heat!  I also appreciated that the studio met me at my level – whatever it happened to be that day.

Prior to starting at Dragonfly, I had been doing yoga on and off for at least five years.  Dragonfly has been my first consistent practice. I really enjoy the variety of classes and teachers on the schedule.  Some days I feel like a really upbeat fitness class, other days I feel like focusing inward and taking a Slow Flow or a Yin style class.  I can do all of this at Dragonfly.  I was so excited when they opened the mild studio as well, especially with all the new class types they’ve added. I always sleep better after taking Fire, and I tend to have less back pain from sitting all day when I’m doing yoga.
