Stay tuned for our next challenge coming up soon!

Don’t Miss Yoga Sculpt, the New, Improved Iron Hour!

By Announcement

The Iron Hour class you know and love has gotten even better and a lot more challenging! 

We’ve recently rebranded this strength-based workout as Yoga Sculpt, and students are loving it.

Yoga Sculpt still incorporates light hand weights (maybe even a little more than Iron Hour!), cardio and core work for maximum calorie-burning effect.

Instead of targeting the same muscles over and over, sequences change regularly so you’ll never hit that dreaded plateau.

It’s a total body workout designed to sculpt every major muscle group by combining yoga postures with weights and cardio. It’s a great balance of strength, conditioning and vinyasa flow!

We feel that Yoga Sculpt more appropriately describes this class and the effects it’s designed to have on your body. And we can’t wait for you to experience the difference.

Yoga Sculpt is offered on Sundays and Thursdays at 8:15 a.m. Don’t miss it!

Congratulations to Our 2020 Challengers!

By Announcement

It’s been a year since our Renew You 2020 Challenge began, and that means it’s time to congratulate everyone who stretched, sweated and breathed their way across the finish line. 

2020 presented plenty of additional challenges in addition to finding the motivation to maybe practice a little extra every month to reach the mark of 240 classes for the year. So we’re especially inspired and motivated by these dedicated yogis:

Robert Carlock, 438
Audrey Williamson, 339
Mendy Bornfleth, 304
Candice Cravins, 268
Paula Brown, 266
Sheri Granberry, 260
Danny Miller, 246
Michelle Ryan, 242
Tyloria Crenshaw, 241

On Friday, Jan. 22,  we’ll have two drawings: one for everyone who has reached 20 classes each month (or met the average) and another for everyone who has completed 20 classes in any month of the year. The more months that you complete 20 classes, the more entries you’ll get in that drawing. 

Congratulations to these students and teachers who took at least 20 classes for one or more months:

Reid Gilbert, 3 Months
Corinne Reece, 2 Months
Jennifer Irizarry, 2 Months
Haley Hall, 1 Month
Cassandra Holman, 4 Months
Sue Bruno, 3 Months
Demi VanderWerff, 1 Month

We’re still working out the details of those prizes, but we know you’ll have the option to win a FREE month and more!

Everyone who completes the full year is entered to win an annual membership and one of two Fitbit fitness trackers, and will also receive a long-sleeve Dri-Fit pullover embroidered with the studio and challenge logos. 

Please join us on Friday, Jan. 22 after the 5:30 p.m. class to celebrate the achievements of these students and teachers and their commitment to their practice and to Sterling!

Outdoor Classes Move Back to Studio Until Spring

By Announcement

Our Outdoor Vinyasa Flow classes have been a great way to enjoy the beautiful weather lately, but as it turns colder, we’re going to move back inside the studio.

Beginning this Saturday, Dec. 5, our Vinyasa Flow class will meet at Sterling at 2:30 p.m. As a result, livestreaming will be available.

Our first class officially back in the studio will be taught by Demi VanderWerff and it’s FREE. (If you missed her class last weekend, you’ve got another chance this weekend!) 

Sign up here to reserve your spot in the studio or get the link to join online. Beginning Dec. 12, this class will require a drop-in fee or active membership to attend.

Candlelight Yin + Yoga Nidra Returns Next Month

By Events

Look ahead with a renewed, focused mindset. Candlelight Yin + Yoga Nidra is a great way to get started on closing out 2020 and preparing for 2021! 

Join Michelle on Sunday, Dec. 6 from 4:30 p.m. – 6 p.m. for a special 90-minute class, during which you’ll have an opportunity to slow down, examine your thoughts and, most importantly, make self-care a top priority. 

Yin improves concentration and flexibility, and yoga nidra has been proven to activate the body’s relaxation response. Together, this combination is very powerful for your body and your mind.

Yoga nidra improves the function of the nervous system and endocrine system. It helps cells in your body regenerate and repair, decrease anxiety and improve your mood. 

Additional studies indicate that yoga nidra can help lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and improve blood glucose fluctuations and symptoms associated with diabetes. 

Candlelight Yin + Yoga Nidra is a great way to end your weekend and get prepared for the week – and more – ahead!

It’s open to the public at a special drop-in rate of $15. Reserve your spot by clicking here.

This class will be offered in the studio (limited capacity) and online. Please register online for the option you wish to choose. Online participants will receive a link to join 15 minutes before the class begins.

We look forward to sharing this special class with you!
