We appreciate your support of these efforts done in honor of Sterling founder and breast cancer survivor Lucille Allen Moran and others in our yoga community who inspire us with their courage.

Thank you also to Winterbreeze Manuel, Elizabeth McLean, Danny Miller, Elizabeth Teel, David Hibberts, Tuck and Jack who joined us in the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides walk on Saturday, Oct. 28 through downtown Mobile!

Sterling 60 Added on Fridays, Platinum Plus Returns Oct. 28

By Announcement

Sterling Hot Yoga, Platinum Plus, special yoga class, intermediate yoga classDue to several months of inconsistent attendance, we are replacing the Viscous Yin class at 9:30 a.m. on Fridays with a Sterling 60 at the same time!

Now you can get your hot yoga, even if you’re not an early bird!

Several students have also requested a Sterling 60 after an Inferno Hot Pilates.

This is your chance to get your high-intensity workout in, followed by a heated stretch to help soothe sore muscles immediately afterward.

This change is effective beginning in October, so the first Sterling 60 at 9:30 a.m. will take place on Friday, Oct. 6. See you then!

 

Slow Flow Vinyasa Class on Wednesday Mornings

If you’re looking to add another vinyasa class to your routine, remember there is an unheated, slow flow class on Wednesday mornings at 8 a.m. This is an all-levels class led by Manja, who guides you as you develop strength, improve balance and enhance flexibility.

This class is offered for a $10 donation, so this class is open to the public. No Sterling membership or package is required to attend. Please support this class to ensure it continues to be available on our schedule!

 

Platinum Plus Scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 28

Your 26/2 practice can be challenging enough, but if you want to take it to the next level, try Platinum Plus!

This 75-minute practice incorporates the 26/2 postures of the beginner’s class, as well as intermediate Ghosh, vinyasa and yin postures.

Your next chance to try  Platinum Plus will be Saturday, Oct. 28 at Noon.

This class is an excellent way to try something new, push your body in a different way, work toward more challenging postures, and feel energized and accomplished. We recommend that you have practiced the 26/2 sequence for a minimum of three months before taking this class. This class is offered for a donation of $10.

Holistic Healing and Yoga Therapy Sessions Soon Available

By Announcement

holistic healing and yoga therapy sessions mobile alJulia Szvath, a holistic healer who combines both the conventional medicine of psychology with alternative solutions, such as breath work and yoga therapy, will return to Sterling for two weeks starting Aug. 20.

Sterling Hot Yoga Mobile founder Lucille Moran credited her work with Julia as an integral part of her recovery from breast cancer.

Julia believes that you are more than your physical body, and that parts of you, like your thoughts, your emotions or your energy field might be invisible to the eye, but they play a vital role in your health and well-being.

“Therefore I believe that a holistic approach is crucial to achieve long-lasting results in healing and recovery,” she said. “Addressing the individual as a whole instead of focusing on the physical symptom is a key to restoring health, peace and harmony.

“Illness is a teacher and healing is a journey of self discovery towards personal freedom,” she said. “My role is to assist individuals on this journey and provide support and guidance for our common goal: to restore health and live life fully without fear.”

Julia’s sessions are available to everyone. All you need is a willingness to try and an open mind to receive. To learn more about Julia, click here.

To schedule a session with Julia, contact David Roberts at the studio. More details will be sent in an email later this month. Also follow our Facebook page for more information!
