Experience
My introduction to Yoga was my mom's Gaiam instructional DVDs for kids and adults. The distinguished abs of the Yoga teachers in those videos made me certain I could get absolutely shredded as an 8-year-old after doing some poses. My first actual Yoga class was in college where one of my friends was an instructor at our campus rec center. Yoga offered itself as a stress-relieving activity, so I continued it sparsely throughout college. I moved to Madison after graduation and when the winter months hit, I tried hot Yoga with Dragonfly. It was a nice escape from the icy deathtrap that awaited me outdoors, and leaving every workout sweaty and feeling rejuvenated established my desire to regularly attend. Yoga is the only workout I can do repeatedly without needing rest days and has the unique ability to be both energizing and calming simultaneously.
Favorite Pose
