Rylan D. | Dragonfly Hot Yoga Madison WI

Rylan D.

How did you get started at Dfly?
I sampled all of the hot yoga studios when I moved to Madison and dragonfly was my favorite option.

What was your yoga/barre experience before Dfly?
Not much! I never had a membership before dragonfly. I had some sporadic prior interactions with yoga prior but nowhere that I tried had anything like what Dfly has to offer. The options of class styles, access to multiple locations, and class times that go throughout the entire day are unmatched!

What do you enjoy most from attending Dfly classes?
Whether it’s sweating it all out in a workout class, or whether it’s a rejuvenating flow and yin, the individual feeling of accomplishment and connection with peers + instructors keeps me coming back every time :)

Have you experienced any changes in your total well-being since taking classes?
My balance is up big time!

How often do you attend classes? Favorite class?
I try to attend a class every day if I’m in town. Favorite class? No way, there are so many wonderful and unique instructors. I could never pick! You should check out Dallas – beautiful this time of year!

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.
I have had 7 knee surgeries… Before I had the hindsight that this was a temporary blip in my life, I thought that I would never have a fully functional body again and that I would be dealing with chronic issues for the rest of my life. I love playing sports and getting exercise, it was such a big part of childhood and therefore me. The thought of not being able to move the way I want to for years to come was a dark part of my life.

Yoga, specifically hot yoga, has not only allowed me to get back on track, but has allowed me to do way more than I was able to prior to injury! I am so grateful for this life that I get to have thanks in part to dfly. I take every opportunity that I get to introduce people to this lovely studio! Thank you to all of the instructors and staff members for helping all of us live healthier lives!
