🌿 Student Spotlight 🌿

We’re so grateful to have Becky Jaeger in our studio! Since starting yoga in January 2025, she’s attended 51 classes! She’s embraced the practice with consistency and joy, and discovered both physical and mental benefits along the way.

1. What’s something you didn’t expect to gain from yoga?

✨”I didn’t expect yoga to help me so much physically and mentally. When I started in January, I had just recovered from shingles and knew I needed to get back into a workout routine. Being over 50, my body can’t do high impact anymore, so I decided to give it a try.”

2. What would you tell someone who feels intimidated to try yoga?

✨”I tried yoga 20 years ago and couldn’t shut my mind down. Now I look forward to it. My family knows when I say I need yoga that it’s in their best interest that I go!! No matter what else is going on. So I would say try it! Everyone has to start somewhere and even the most seasoned yoga-ers will pause or have to reposition themselves.”

3. What do you enjoy most about practicing in a studio setting?

✨ “I really like the dark lights and vibe. It helped me getting started because you can be under the radar a little more.”

4. How has your yoga practice supported you in everyday life?

✨ “Yoga healed my neck which I didn’t expect at all!! I couldn’t do neck rolls when I started but I can now. Desk jobs are rough on neck and shoulders and yoga has saved me.”

We’re so proud of Becky’s dedication and progress. Her journey is an inspiring reminder that showing up for yourself always pays off!

Still smiling from our holiday yoga party! ❤️🎄

The ridiculous costumes, giggles, playfulness, and pure joy in the room were a beautiful reminder that levity is medicine, laughter supports the nervous system, joy creates connection, and giving ourselves permission to be silly every once in a while can be deeply nourishing 😊✨

Brahmacharya invites us to look at how we use our energy and whether it supports the path we are walking. Less about denial or restraint for its own sake, but about intention - choosing where energy flows so it aligns with truth, purpose, and clarity. 🤍

🌿 Student Spotlight 🌿

Ashley’s yoga journey reflects the heart of why we practice at MYC. What started with nerves about doing things “right” has grown into a practice rooted in self-compassion, strength, and joy. 42 classes with us in our first year!!!
👏👏

1. Is there one thing you wish you’d known when you first started yoga?

✨ “Starting out I was nervous about being able to do it “right.” But I’ve learned that my body feels different daily and I just try my best 😊”

2. Do you have a tip for someone trying to make yoga a habit?

✨ “It’s easy to have a list of reasons not to take time for yourself, life is busy! But prioritizing time for yoga, even if it’s just a few minutes, has made such a positive difference!”

3. Which pose is your favorite (or least favorite)?

✨ “Wild thing is my favorite! It feels so good to take up space! Also, cat cow, because my kids and I practice it as we “meow” and “moo” 😂”

4. What’s one unexpected way yoga has helped you outside the studio?

✨ “Yoga has helped me feel stronger mentally and physically. It has been so helpful with managing anxiety. I’m so thankful for this practice and the MYC community!”

Ashley’s experience is a beautiful example of how yoga supports real life, including busy days, growing families, and mental well-being. We’re so grateful to share this community with her!

🌿 Student Spotlight: Beth Kircher 🌿

We love getting to know the people who unroll their mats with us! Beth is dedicated, focused, and open-minded. She has already taken 56 (!!) classes with us, tried every style we offer, and always shows up ready to learn. When it comes to Primal Flow (our strength and mobility class), she is an absolute BEAST, attending more times than anyone else.

1. What’s something you’ve learned about yourself through your yoga practice?

✨ I’ve learned that my body is capable of more than my mind lets me think!”

2. Is there a pose, practice, or moment in class that makes you feel most grounded?

✨ “The beginning of each class keeps me most grounded when I set my intention for that particular practice.”

3. What originally brought you to yoga, and what keeps you coming back?

✨ “Wanting to work on my flexibility after working a sedentary job is what brought me to yoga. I keep coming back because of the teachers and students I get to practice with.”

4. What’s one tip you’d give to someone who feels nervous about starting yoga?

✨ “Just show up! Everyone is welcoming and you won’t regret it!”

We’re grateful Beth chooses to practice with us. Her consistency, her drive, and her willingness to explore new challenges make her such a strong part of our MYC community. 🤩🧘‍♀️

Satya is more than “don’t lie.” It’s living and speaking your truth with honesty, integrity, and awareness. We must filter our truth through the caring, compassionate lens of Ahimsa (non-harm). Before we speak or act, we can ask: Is it true? Helpful? Necessary? Truth can be both gentle and powerful. 🌱
