How did you get started at Dragonfly?
Like many, I was first a snowbird, looking for hot yoga during the restorative, cold, winter months, before establishing a more regular commitment.
What was your yoga/barre experience before Dfly?
I had attended some classes at D-Fly, IFY, and some stuff at home, mostly to try to accelerate healing when my body was broken from playing soccer or running.
What do you enjoy most about attending Dragonfly classes?
I enjoy using class as an excuse to practice metta and getting to flow with my lover, Audra! My go to move is getting a run in before class, and using yoga as functional overreach, working on balance and strength when I am a bit fatigued. I’m hoping it will serve as good pre-hab, keeping me healthy and less injury prone.
Have you experienced any changes in your total well-being since you started taking classes?
I am using this year of membership to explore more deeply the effects on my body-mind which I (ab)use most often in endurance activities, and so far it seems to support my fitness goals and I think is making me more well-rounded, in more ways than one.
How often do you attend, and do you have a favorite class?
I hit up class 3-4x/week, and go up to 6-7x/week in the winter when I am running less. I like to flow! Shoutouts to Mariah, Mariana, Dallas, Rhiannon, and Abby!
Please feel free to share any other thoughts about Dragonfly, hot yoga, or yourself—we would love to know more about you!
Among my many other interests as a self-styled dilettante, I’m a flatlander who has a passion for mountain running/climbing, a genetic counselor, evangelist of live soul and blues, and overall pathologically curious person. If I’m not running, flowing, writing, or planning the next adventure, there is a good chance my head is in a book.
