| - I have never liked yoga...ever. It was too fast, too hard, I couldn't reach anything I was supposed to be able to reach, and I never learned anything.
Enter Yoga Hive. With a $10 for 2 weeks intro deal and it's location literally a hop and a skip from desk at PGC, I had no reason not to try it out with my yoga initiated coworkers. And what follows is simply a love story.
All the instructors there are wonderful but by virtue of her teaching schedule with my schedule, I have taken the most classes from and the greatest affinity for the owner Kimberly. I am not exaggerating when I say I owe my new found love of yoga to her open, welcoming and supportive spirit.
I have learned so much at the Yoga Hive- that I can go at my own pace because speed is not the goal, that I can modify poses to make them work for my body so a deep stretch does not cross the line to painful, that I can further modify poses so that I can reach what I never could before. But most importantly I learned to breathe, to be patient with myself and to celebrate the little victories as they come. I still get frustrated because I am human but I know that whenever I doubt myself that Kimberly, Lauren, Meg, Cherilyn, etc believe in me and know that I can do whatever it is that's in front of me, and then I do.
I have never found a place to workout that is as warm (figuratively and literally), welcoming, effective and rejuvenating as the Yoga Hive.
You must go, even if you don't think yoga is for you, the Yoga Hive is.
