My good friend, Susan, invited me to my first class at Dragonfly back in March of this year. I am so thankful she encouraged me. Susan continues to be a great motivator for me, as do the other friends and co-workers with whom I attend classes.

Going into my first class at Dragonfly, I understood some of the basic poses of yoga but had not practiced regularly. My yoga experience was very minimal and I had not been to a class in years and had never attended regularly.

I live in the neighborhood, so you can imagine my excitement when I saw that Dragonfly Hot Yoga was opening soon and within walking distance from my home. Prior to Dragonfly, I had taken a few yoga classes near work as a lunchtime experience, but sometimes found it hard to make the time. Yoga classes at Dragonfly are amazing because the people and the atmosphere are warm and inviting.

Since I moved to Madison a year ago, I had been looking for an accessible yoga studio where I could develop my yoga practice with mindfulness. When Downtown Dragonfly opened early in July, I found the place I was looking for!

I started with Bikram Yoga 4 years ago and immediately loved the practice in high temperatures. In May 2014 I did my teacher training in Vinyasa Krama Yoga, but after that I lost my regular practice. In the time I have spent at Dragonfly, I have been getting my practice back and I’m so grateful for that.
