We Need Your Votes to Bring Home TWO Nappie Awards!

By News

Well, we made it to the finals of the 2021 Nappie Awards thanks to YOUR votes! 

That means we’ll still need your help to bring home 2021 Nappie Awards in TWO categories, Best Yoga Studio and Best Yoga Instructor. 

Beginning TODAY at noon, start casting your votes here

Established in 2010, Sterling Hot Yoga & Wellness was the first yoga studio in Alabama to offer Original Hot Yoga. 

Since that time, our schedule has expanded to include Yoga Sculpt (previously Iron Hour), Inferno Hot Pilates, Vinyasa Flow and Yin Yoga.

That’s just our typical weekly schedule! 

Some of our special classes or workshops include: Candlelight Yin + Yoga Nidra, Platinum Plus (an intermediate hot yoga class), Hot Vinyasa Fusion and Gravity Yoga.

Not to mention our two very special community partners through which we offer yoga, USA’s Mitchell Cancer Institute and Veterans Recovery Resources.

We are committed to being an excellent source of health and wellness in the Mobile community, and we hope you’ll keep voting for us!

You can vote once per day now through Sunday, May 23 at midnight.

Stay tuned in the coming weeks as we will introduce our TWO teachers who are representing Sterling who have made the Nappie finals for Best Yoga Instructor: Michelle Ryan and Kenee Lacoste.

Thank you in advance for your continued support and votes!

Safety Guidelines Revised With Governor’s New Order

By Announcement

With Gov. Kay Ivey’s announcement of the “Safer Apart” order effective Friday, April 9 at 5 p.m., we will be making a few changes at Sterling.

While masks are no longer required, we still strongly encourage you to wear them at the studio in the common areas until you get on your mat to practice. You do not have to wear your mask while you practice.

We will continue to take staff and student temperatures upon arrival with the continued safety of everyone in mind.

With this announcement, we have reopened our shower facilities for students to use after class, and we are also bringing back a popular amenity—lavender towels!

Thank you, everyone, for continuing to comply with our safe operating guidelines and for your support of Sterling. We could not have made it through the last year without you!

Outdoor Vinyasa and Yin Classes Return This Weekend!

By Events

Now that the weather is warming up, we’re going to bring back our outdoor classes!

These proved to be a popular option before we put them on hold for the winter, so we hope they give you an option to enjoy the great outdoors and your yoga practice at the same time!

Join us on Saturdays at 2:30 p.m. in the space next to the Moorer Public Library on McGregor Avenue for vinyasa flow. Sign up here!

On Sundays at 4:30 p.m., we’ll meet at the stone monument, the “Rites of Passage,” between St. Joseph’s Chapel and the Student Center on the campus of Spring Hill College. Sign up here

Outdoor classes are included in all active Sterling memberships. If you’re not an active member, you can still participate! Your first class is on us, then drop-ins are $15 after that.

Sign up in advance to reserve your spot. We’ll have plenty of space to socially distance!

Keep in mind, there will be no livestreaming options with our outdoor classes. In case of inclement weather, we’ll move class back to the studio. Stay tuned to your email and our social media channels for updates!

Thank You for Supporting Our LoveYourBrain Karma Class!

By Announcement

During March, which is Brain Injury Awareness Month, Sterling hosted a special karma class to help raise money and awareness to help support those affected by traumatic brain injury (including concussion). 

We want to thank everyone who donated, participated in class or helped spread the word.

Because of each of you, Michelle met her $300 fundraising goal to fulfill one of the components of her training with LoveYourBrain, a nonprofit that provides yoga, retreat and meditation programs internationally to build community and foster resilience for people affected by TBI. 

Thank you so much for your support in making the healing power of yoga accessible for everyone!

In March, we challenged everyone to set healthy habits with our 2021 Healthy Habits Challenge! Since it takes about three weeks to form a habit, the challenge was to take 21 classes in 21 days and get your year off to a healthy start!

Did you miss the Healthy Habits Challenge? You can start your own at any time! But if you prefer to push yourself along with others at the studio, stay tuned!

The Healthy Habits Challenge is the first of four 21-day challenges we’ll offer this year. For every one you complete, you’ll get an entry into a special prize drawing, and if you complete all four challenges, you’ll be entered into a separate drawing when we celebrate your accomplishments at the end of the year.

Keep up the great work!
