| - I took my first class, Gentle something or other, this past Saturday with DeAnna as the instructor. Oh. My. Goodness! I had a really fantastic time!
I've never taken yoga from a Studio before, only from the gym and videos...
Ambience was so soothing! Dimly lit, perfect temperature, nice mix of instrumental, Christmas, and worship music.
This class was a 10:30-11:30am class and there were 8 of us including the instructor. We started out by laying down and breathing. Then she came around and put essential oil on our foreheads and in our hands and had us just keep breathing in. Next she came around and put over each one of us a blanket to keep us warm while we stretched until we started the workout.
We then went through the whole workout (which I did hear one the girls later say that it was a pretty intense workout compared to the usual intensity of that particular class)
After, when we were cooling back down again, she came and covered us all back up with the blanket and spritzed another essential oil spray into the air around each one of us.
We were told to take our time getting up and readying our selves for the rest of the day.
Some of the other nice things they have is a yoga mat, hand weights, bolster for under your knees, blankets to use for pillows... I see they also teach Zumba classes!
It was so relaxing, centering and calming to my soul... I can't wait to go again!
