April Yogi of The Month


Congratulations to Katie Watkins, our April Yogi of the Month!  Katie is an extremely committed yogi and we have the pleasure of seeing her at the studio on almost a daily basis!  Here is what she has to say about her yoga journey. 


                                                     
After a running injury a few months ago left me limited to my normal exercise habits, I decided to get back into yoga after a 4 year hiatus from a Bikram Yoga practice.  I had been trying yoga studios around the area without much success in finding one I felt I could commit to when I discovered Milwaukee Power Yoga.  I instantly felt welcomed and comfortable the moment I walked into the studio; and knew after my first class that this was the studio for me.  The heat of the room and the fluid movements gave my body a workout I was not expecting and left me craving more.

Now after practicing 5 days a week for a month, I have noticed drastic changes in my yoga practice and in my every day routines.  My body feels stronger and more relaxed, rather than the tight and sore muscles I used to wake up to.  I have noticed a change in my posture, and I have found myself sleeping much better.  I know that my body has been gaining strength as I am able to successfully attempt more difficult poses with ease instead of being unsteady.  I have also found that it has helped with my running practice, a perfect complement to loosen up my muscles after a long run.  I would highly recommend anyone interested in initiating or reestablishing a yoga practice to check out Milwaukee Power Yoga, you will leave refreshed and anticipating the next class.

Thanks Katie for sharing your experience with us. We love the positive energy you bring to the studio and are so happy to have you at Milwaukee Power Yoga!
