Q: What’s your favorite class or style of yoga to practice?
A: I like all styles of yoga. I usually like to have a variety of classes to attend each week. I believe the yogis influence the flow between an okay practice and an excellent one. Over the years I have practiced at many different studios, but none have as talented and dedicated yogis as Sukha Inspired Yoga does. My favorite classes are when I experience: renewed energy, clarity of mind, laughable moments, and even the ones that make emotions well up and make me cry. The experience I needed at just the right time makes so many of the practices at Sukha my favorites.
Q: How has your yoga practice impacted your life?
A: I have been practicing yoga for 15 years. I started practicing through a physical fitness class at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. I loved it from the start. My idea was to maintain fitness through Vinyasa-type flows, but little did I know the impact the practices would have besides the physical aspect. Some practices were a challenge to get myself to lay still while my mind would race out of control. But I just kept showing up and the effect was amazing. I started to be in better shape, with a clearer mind, sleeping better, and better moods. To this day if I am having a moody day my husband will ask me, “When is the last time you’ve been to yoga? - You need to go.” It really has that kind of impact on my day-to-day life.
Q: Tell us about a memorable experience or teacher who’s inspired you.
A: This is a hard question. The wonderful thing about Sukha is there are so many good yogis, and I have a space in my heart for all with whom I have practiced with. But I would have to say that Ashley Dixon is the one yogi that comes to mind that has inspired me the most. Her welcoming spirit is like no others. I have practiced with Ashley for years. She makes everyone feel accepted and loved. Ashley has the gift of teaching all types of yoga to all types of people. She even figured out a way to get me to love Yin Yoga. I am also very thankful to Ashley for she was the person that recommended that I check out Sukha Inspired Yoga Studio. She mentioned she knew I would love it here and she was 100% correct!
