Student Spotlight

Our dedicated students are the heart of our community.

​

I was raised by a bunch of hippies, so I was exposed to yoga at a young

age,  but I didn't start to practice in earnest until I came to

HOT YOGA DOWNTOWN.

 

I was first attracted to hot yoga by the challenge. When I started practicing,

I said several times that I enjoyed doing yoga because I was bad at it -

a bit of humbling tends to be good for me.  But it was the community of

HYDT and the ability of its teachers to offer challenge while not taking

themselves too seriously,  which kept me coming back.  

​

This place has helped me grow in many different ways. By some measures,

I'm still pretty bad at yoga... I can barely sit on my own ass with a

straight spine... but this is perhaps eclipsed by gains in understanding,

compassion, and love. 

 

In particular, yoga has led me to the articulation of 3 challenges for life

which I share with you now: to give without expectation, know without

judgment, and love without attachment.
