| - Truly, Dragonfly is the answer to what I've always been asking for in a yoga studio and fitness center.
What many other yoga and fitness centers struggle to achieve- Dragonfly has down to an art! Dragonfly truly lives up to their mission of "every shape, every size, every person" and creates an atmosphere that is truly supportive and encouraging. Beyond that, the studio is spic-and-span clean, as well just downright lovely, fun (love the Tea Lounge!), and colorful.
The teachers at Dragonfly are knowledgeable and supportive teachers, and there is great offering of classes, events, and fitness regimens. The studio culture strikes a great balance between offering the support needed to have anyone engage in yoga and fitness, but also offering ways for you as a yogi and participant to push yourself in terms of your yoga practice and level of fitness. On many occasions the staff have been so incredibly supportive- whether a class wasn't the right fit at the time and I needed a cold bottle of water, or if I wasn't quite getting a particular asana or position they are always ready to help in a way that never made me feel talked down to or put on the spot.
The other thing I really love about Dragonfly is that they do find a way to integrate mindfulness and spirituality into the yoga practice that is very accessible and respectful- for example there are these thoughtful quotes on the board by the lockers everyday. However, yoga isn't about talking or reading- yoga is about doing, and that truly is the focus of all classes- actually doing yoga.
I've been able to try most of the yoga classes- and they range from more relaxing classes like Aroma Yin (think delicious scents and relaxed poses) to yoga classes that really push you like Flow, Core Flow, as well as Flow & Yin (think lots of sun salutations, balances, holds, good music, and heat).
The other great thing about Dragonfly is that they offer more than just yoga. They also offer Barre and Pound Rockout Workout. I've really enjoyed the Barre classes I've taken; the classes combine Pilates and ballet exercises and work on very specific groups of muscles. Definitely challenging, but a great workout!
I am also personally a very big fan of Pound Rockout Workout. In these classes, the routine goes through a combinations consisting of moves from Pilates and dance, and you are armed with a pair of drumsticks. I definitely look forward to the Pound class every week as it is my chance to burn off steam by pounding my drum sticks, and put in a great workout combining muscle toning and cardio. I am always sore the day after (in a good way, not a painful way!), and the Pound classes have definitely helped me to build strength that compliments my yoga practice.
When it comes to a yoga center and fitness studio in Madison, I'm convinced that Dragonfly is the best!
