Feeling stuck in your practice? Whether it’s tight hips and hamstrings or stiff shoulders and back, Gravity Yoga can help! This targeted mobility training practice is going to be offered again at Sterling next month.

This series is limited to 10 students in the studio and 10 students via Zoom, for a total of 20. Not only will this allow all students to utilize the wall (both in the studio and at home) for some of the postures, but also will give the opportunity to provide personalized feedback to each student.

What’s Included

  • 4 Gravity Yoga classes in-studio or online (recordings of classes will be made available for one week)
  • Weekly group and individual check-ins
  • A custom 15-minute stretch program to be completed daily (or as close to daily as possible between classes)
  • Michelle’s availability for coaching, questions, etc.

The cost of this workshop is $75 per student. Reserve your spot here.  If you prefer to pay with another method besides PayPal or you have any questions, please contact Michelle.

Yoga On Tap Every Tuesday at Serda Brewing Co.!

By Events, Uncategorized

We’ve organized at least one of those outdoor classes you’ve asked for, and we’re excited to announce our new outdoor yoga series “Yoga On Tap” in partnership with Serda Brewing Co.!

If you’ve been looking for a FREE vinyasa flow class in a fun outdoor space, join one of our teachers, Bridget Reiter at one of our favorite local breweries downtown on Tuesdays at 6 p.m.

EVERYONE is welcome! Bring yourself, bring friends — it’s a great way to stay connected to Sterling outside of the studio or learn a little bit more about it for anyone who hasn’t visited us yet.

Social distancing guidelines will be observed and space is limited, so please arrive early.

Don’t miss the next class on Tuesday, Oct. 13 at 6 p.m.!

Outdoor Vinyasa Classes Are HERE!

Hot Vinyasa Fusion Returns Monday, Oct. 12 AND Once a Month After That

By Events

Looking for a class that combines the best of Bikram Yoga AND the best of vinyasa flow? We’ve got it! 

Hot Vinyasa Fusion is back Monday, Oct. 12 at 7 p.m. Look for this class the second Tuesday of every month!

This 75-minute class begins with several rounds of chaturangas, stretches and even some original hot yoga postures mixed in. 

Then it transitions to some balancing poses and floor work that will be very familiar if you practice the 26 and 2 regularly. 

It’s heated to about 100 degrees, so you will still work up a good sweat!

The original hot yoga sequence helps maintain and restore natural range of motion, but it is sometimes criticized for not having much of a focus on the upper body or hip openers. That’s where Hot Vinyasa Fusion comes in!

If you’ve tried it and loved it, your chance to practice it again is coming up soon. If you haven’t taken it yet, so is your chance to try it!

2020 Challenge Update: Three More Months to Go!

By Announcement

You know how challenging it can be to stick to a routine, and when you manage to make it happen, you feel inspired and accomplished. 

Well, we definitely feel inspired by this dedicated group of yogis who have made it through 75 percent of our 2020 Renew You Challenge.

In this special year-long challenge, students must take 20 classes a month (or average 20 classes a month for the year). 

Those who successfully complete it will be entered into a drawing to win the grand prize of an annual membership or one of two Fitbit fitness trackers we’ll be giving away.

We’ll also be awarding all 2020 challengers a long-sleeved Dri-Fit pullover featuring the studio and challenge logos.

Congratulations to the following who now have the end in sight:

Audrey Williamson, 31
Candice Cravins, 30
Sheri Granberry, 30
Robert Carlock, 28
Mendy Bornfleth, 25
Paula Brown, 21
Jennifer Irizarry, 21
Tyloria Crenshaw, 20
Michelle Ryan, 20

If you’ve gotten a late start on the challenge or you missed a month here or there, there is still time to get in on some great prizes! 

Anyone who completes at least 20 classes a month will receive an entry into a separate drawing. That’s one entry for EVERY month of at least 20 classes!

Keep up the great work!

We’re Turning 10! Come Celebrate With Us!

By Announcement

We’re turning 10! Can you believe it’s been a whole decade since original hot yoga came to Mobile?

Of course, the name has changed a couple of times since 2010, but what hasn’t changed is our commitment to teaching the original hot yoga 26 & 2 sequence, which is a healing, therapeutic practice intended to maintain and restore natural range of motion.

Today, Sterling offers even more classes, like Inferno Hot Pilates (we’re the ONLY studio in town that does!), Iron Hour, Vinyasa Flow, Yin Yoga and other special offerings. 

The great thing is that all of these classes work together to support your total wellness, and at Sterling, you can get all of them in one convenient place.

We’re so passionate about the yoga and Pilates that we offer that we thought what better way to celebrate our big milestone by sharing it with YOU! Between Oct. 1 and Oct. 15, we’re inviting new students to take up to two FREE classes on us. That’s it!

Come check us out and see what makes us different from other studios in town. Please book your spot in class in advance online. 

We continue to follow safety protocols that require us to limit our class sizes. Thank you for your understanding!

We can’t wait to meet you and give you a virtual high five (or ten?) and welcome you into our yoga community!

Classes Transition to Livestream Only with Threat of Hurricane Sally

By Announcement

Hurricane Sally is in the Gulf of Mexico and is gaining strength before it makes landfall along the coast.

We are keeping an eye on the storm and making what we feel are necessary precautions for the safety of our staff and students.

Beginning tonight, Monday, Sept. 14, we will offer livestreaming classes ONLY at 5:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. This temporary change will affect ALL classes on Tuesday, Sept. 15 as well. 

If you have already signed up to participate in studio for those classes affected, we will register you for the livestreaming option so you will receive the link to join the class online. 

Our staff will be teaching from the safety of their homes, and we encourage you to join us online if you are able. 

Thank you for your continued support of Sterling Hot Yoga & Wellness. We are just as committed to making the yoga and Pilates practices we offer to you available to help you take care of yourself despite challenges that may arise.

Please remain aware of the weather conditions over the next several days and stay safe!
