June Yogi of The Month





Congratulations to Judy Knurr our June Yogi of The Month! Here's what Judy has to say about her practice.

My yoga journey began in 1971.  In a small room in a church across from UWM, I learned the techniques of Hatha Yoga following the teachings of H. H. Sri Swami Rama as taught by my first instructor.  From that time on, yoga has always been a part of my life, however; in 2006 I began to practice on a regular basis, attending class or doing a home practice 2-3 times a week.  As I continued practicing, I became aware of the benefits of yoga both on and off the mat. I have been fortunate to practice with many teachers and fellow yogis at a variety of studios and outdoor locations. 

Yinyasa flow has become my most frequent and favorite style of practice.  At Milwaukee Power Yoga I have felt the benefits of combining the challenging sequences combined with heat to experience a powerful physical workout as well as a restorative mental and emotional balance. Every class offers an opportunity to challenge oneself in a safe environment designed to push one’s limits yet feel success at the same time.

The studio offers a calm and welcoming atmosphere where yogis of all levels and experience can enjoy and benefit from an hour of mind-body connection and taking what it is that is needed to meet the challenges of life off the mat and leaving behind anything that is no longer needed. I suggest to yogis, experienced or first-timers, to treat yourself to the experience of a hot yoga class at Milwaukee Power Yoga and delight in the benefits your body and spirit will experience.  As I turn 63 this year, I am thankful for my yoga practice, the amazing teachers and fellow yogis I learn from daily and look forward to many more years of hot yoga at MPY. ~Namaste
