August Yogi of The Month
Congratulations
to Mike Talarczyk, our August Yogi of the Month! Here
is what he has to say about his yoga journey.
As a couple of
past experiences with traditional yoga had been rather disappointing, I
attended my first class at Milwaukee Power Yoga somewhat begrudgingly. However,
a persistent hamstring issue kept sidelining my "high impact"
workouts, so I thought I'd give hot vinyasa flow yoga a shot. That first
experience was six months ago, and, needless to say, I'm hooked. I have found
the vinyasa flow style yoga combined with the heated and humid room to be a
very challenging workout and, more importantly, rewarding both physically and
mentally. Practicing on average three times a week, I have progressively
improved my flexibility, balance, strength and endurance. To me though, the
most enjoyable aspect of practicing this style of yoga is the sense of relaxation
and calm that is achieved post-practice. It's just an awesome stress
reliever. At Milwaukee Power Yoga, the welcoming venue, Laura's calming,
positive and mix-it-up instruction and, of course, the hot vinyasa flow style,
make a perfect combination for a great workout. I also think it's cool that
yogis of varied experience levels comfortably practice side by side. Many
thanks to my brother for getting me to that first class, and to Laura for
operating a great yoga studio.
Thanks Mike for sharing your
experience with us. We are inspired by your consistent commitment to make it to
the mat 3 days a week and the growth in your practice really shows! We are so
happy to have you as part of our community!
