Congratulations to our YoGi Of ThE mOnTh Edgar! 🎊👏🙌🏻😄
If you have been to the studio at all during October, November or December, it's almost impossible for you to not have crossed paths with Edgar. He is a walking inspiration. His progress and physical transformation is a true testament to the healing power of yoga and our incredible community.
When asked what he loves most about Bloom, Edgar shared, “It's impossible to name a single favorite thing. Bloom is challenging and safe. Compassion, empathy and competence are verbs here, they are actions, not theory. People often smile. The instructors meet you where you are and lead you to your next step.”
In the three month Edgar has been attending Bloom, he accomplished several studio milestones, He was the first student to completely black out his Gratitude Bingo Board, he has attended a class with every teacher at the studio, and became a Mala Member (setting a new studio record). Edgar cannot choose a favorite class saying, "Kristy's Yin class is amazing, I always feel and move better immediately after class. I also enjoy Stephanie's beginner flow because it is physically challenging. The class is high energy. Stephanie both pushes you and holds you back making me feel safe."
Yoga has become an intentional part of Edgar’s daily life, sometimes attending two or even three classes a day. When we asked about a benefit he notices from his practice, he said, “I came to Bloom after two months of bed rest following a surgery. I had a noticeable limp. I was in constant pain. People would stand back and open doors unasked. Now I walk without a limp. I've managed to stand from the floor twice without blocks. I've made progress physically. Much more importantly, Bloom Yoga took me from a state of near hopelessness to hope! ”
We are deeply grateful that Edgar has found yoga and healing. Stories like this are why Bloom is so special. Thank you, Edgar, for trusting the studio and all of our teachers, and of course, for planting yourself here and helping our community flourish! 🪴🧘🏼
