✨✨STUDENT SPOTLIGHT ✨✨
Sharing our students' stories and how yoga has impacted their lives is our favorite!!
We 🧡 You RJ!! You are such a bright light in our studio—always showing up with a smile, a wonderful & witty sense of humor, and a way of uplifting everyone around you. Your presence is genuinely felt, and you have a gift for making the space feel more connected, more joyful, and more human. We’re so grateful for you, RJ—you make Yoga Pointe better just by being you.
RJ shares parts of his yoga journey and how it helped in unexpected ways.
🧡 What was the most apprehensive part about starting yoga?
Taking time for myself but mostly everything I had seen prior to my first class looked so precise, smooth and graceful. Yoga had a mystical, whimsy to it, a quiet elegance if you will. Many things I am not…LOL
🧡 How has yoga helped you?
My venture into yoga came on the tail end of an ankle injury. I was told yoga would help with these types of injuries going forward and joint related injuries were becoming routine for me. Happy to say yoga has helped tremendously with the physical parts of life. More importantly and not at all expected when I walked through the doors is how it has helped mentally. Stress is a big part of the operating world it seems, and letting some of that go at the end of the day is very important. Like magic, somehow just showing up regularly my stress levels started to diminish. It has been really nice when a family member or friend questions why I am so relaxed during a situation where pre-yoga RJ may not have handled it very nicely...my answer is always "that's yoga people, you're welcome!”
🧡 What is your favorite pose or favorite part of a yoga practice?
It's hard to pinpoint a favorite part of a practice. Everything on the inside of the studio doors is fantastic, from the people to the scents in the air, but I will say the clarity that comes with being on the mat is one thing I look forward to every time I place my mat on the floor. And Child's Pose (not pictured) is my favorite, go-to, breathe deep pose.
We 🧡 U,
Your YP Fam!!
