I tried Summit's Yoga with a friend as a way to stretch out after running. I am often tight in the joints from running and massage or yoga really help. My initial experience was a surprise. Summit was teaching the class that started out by relaxing your body and stilling your mind. He gave lots of information - explaining that this was everyday yoga, done to help you feel good. He directed our focus on our own mats and created a feeling of privacy even in that crowded room. The heat wasn't threatening or uncomfortable, but rather refreshing. There was a scent of cederwood and mint in the room that I believe comes from spray bottles on hand. Toward the end of class, I was thrilled by a faster paced flow that felt like a mix of dance with the energy and music of a spin class - that's when I knew I'd be back. The class is the same every time, allowing you to work at improving in the different poses.
The staff at Summit's Yoga are so friendly and nice. I decided to cancel my membership at the Village Health Club and make this part of my everyday routine. I was never that interested in yoga but the mix of the upbeat music, dance feel, friendly staff and refreshing feel of the heat has made a yogi out of me!
