How did you get started at Dfly?
When I moved to Madison back in 2012 I was looking for a barre or yoga studio to continue my practice and I found Dragonfly which has both!
What was your yoga/barre experience before Dfly?
Before Dragonfly I had been doing yoga for a few years and barre class for about a year.
What do you enjoy most from attending Dfly classes?
What I enjoy most about attending Dragonfly Yoga classes is the consistently positive and balanced energy—whether it’s a calm and restorative atmosphere during a Yin class or a more dynamic and invigorating vibe from a Flow & Lift class, the energy always feels just right. Each class leaves me feeling physically challenged in the best way, providing a great workout that helps build strength and flexibility. Most importantly, I leave every session feeling refreshed, centered, and uplifted—both mentally and physically.
Have you experienced any changes in your total well-being since taking classes?
Yes, I’ve definitely experienced positive changes in my overall well-being since taking classes. I feel physically stronger, which has boosted my confidence and energy levels throughout the day. Mentally, I’ve noticed a greater sense of calm and the ability to slow down more easily, even during stressful moments. The practice has helped me become more grounded and present, and I carry that balance with me long after class ends.
How often do you attend classes? Favorite class?
I try to attend between 2-4 classes a week. I wish I could do more, but it’s sometimes hard finding time between working and my kiddos schedule. One thing I love most about Dragonfly is that they have many different kind of classes! My favorite ones are Flow & Lift, Barre and I love a good slow flow or Yin class when I need a good stretch :)
Instructor Mary Leigh F.: “It is always a pleasure having Rachel attend class. You can tell she is there to get a great workout! She is mindful of her form and listens to her body knowing when to push herself and when to pull back. It has been amazing getting to know Rachel through our amazing DragonFly community and I look forward to seeing her at the barre!”
