Annie R. | Dragonfly Hot Yoga Madison WI

Annie R.

How did you get started at Dfly?
I started going to Dragonfly after I got vaccinated for COVID. I longed to be in a hot room and practicing yoga with others. My first class was a Yoga Up class with Laura, and I remember I was not expecting yoga with weights. Through the years, I have learned to love both the flow and fitness classes.

What was your yoga/barre experience before Dfly?
I fell in love with hot yoga in college. The repetition and physical and mental challenge of yoga are so therapeutic for me, and I’m so grateful to have found amazing instructors at Dragonfly.

What do you enjoy most from attending Dfly classes?
I’m grateful to be a part of this space and community. It’s so wonderful to attend the classes, see familiar faces, and catch up with many who are now friends. It’s always nice to start my day with a sweat and catch up with Charlotte before heading to work.

Have you experienced any changes in your total well-being since taking classes?
I feel physically and mentally better after classes, and it’s a great way to start each day.

How often do you attend classes? Favorite class?
I typically attend morning classes 6 days a week. I can’t choose a favorite. I love Colleen and Marc for their complex, therapeutic flows; Jake for the most entertaining classes; Brooklyn for her creativity; and Kim for pushing me beyond what I often think I’m capable of.

Please feel free to share any other thoughts you have about Dfly, hot yoga, or your life as we would love to know more about you!
My favorite pose is probably plough pose or halfmoon. Outside of yoga, I enjoy cooking, birding, playing with my cat, and traveling. I always like the spot by the window to peep the birds flying around.
