Before we dive too deep into this yoga community we want to introduce ourselves, but don't be surprised to see other guest bloggers as our local yoga community grows. :) Joshua and Stefanie have been practicing yoga locally for almost two years. Joshua, originally from Wisconsin Dells, WI has lived in La Crosse for the last 6 years, attended UW-La Crosse for his undergrad and left for awhile before returning to work at UW-L in the Admission Office. Stefanie hails from Monroe, WI, completed her undergraduate degree at UW-L and also returned to La Crosse after spending a few years traveling and working at a few different jobs. As roommates and friends of over 11 years we often share many experiences yoga related and otherwise. Together our exposure to Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga has broadened our physical and mental well-being. We will be able to share some of our favorite aspects to this yoga practice and this awesome group of instructor and students.
As student members of Root Down Yoga we are thrilled to share our experiences and continual on-goings in the world of yoga. We do not claim to have extensive expertise in yoga and will often use the word "practice" when referring to classes or seminars in which we have participated. In the past two years we have learned much about Baptiste Power Flow Yoga and enjoyed the hot experience through this discipline. Some topics we cover may be fun and light, trend spotting, poses, yoga clothing, and an occasional conference, trip or random happen stances at Root Down Yoga. Stefanie would love to take you on a yoga clothing shopping spree or share an awesome music playlist while Joshua can help with your ujjayi breathing techniques and give you hints on proper sweat techniques. ;) Whatever may be going on we hope you get your asanas moving and see you at class!
Currently Root Down Yoga studio is in its seedling stage as the demolition work is completed and the framing begins. Along with family and friends, Nick and Mandy Roush have been working extensively to create a serene and peaceful space for community members to explore the possibilities of yoga or deepen their current practices. What separates Root Down Yoga Studio from others is yet to be seen. Rest assured the joys of yoga in a heated studio will do wonders for your practice, not to mention the passion and years of experience the instructors will bring to this new setting.
As the construction continues we will post more photos so you can witness the transformation! You can expect a grand opening date of 11-11-11!
