Does anyone know anybody looking for some cute kittens 😍

It is with deep sadness we share this recent loss. Although it seems our time with Wayne was short, he made an impact working desk shifts at our studio, always jumping up to serve and support, or coming to class and practicing, whether a sweaty Hot 26 class or Yin. We honor his presence with us and know the sorrow due to the temporary nature and what we do not control in this world. We give the deepest gratitude for the love and energy we can depend on continuing on through the flow of connections and relationships cultivated in our community 🖤

Meet the first three of our 2023 Hot 26&2 Teacher Training Graduates to jump right into the fire 🔥(aka hot room) and get their feet wet 💦 (plus everything else...because you know it's sweaty in there😉)!!!

✨Heather Vaught was on it for a quick sub need week before last and taught her first instructed 75 minute class Friday PLUS jumped in again for another quick sub need Saturday, and rocked leading a Hot 26 Beats🎶

ℹ️Heather began her yoga journey in February 2021 when a friend invited her to a Hot Yoga Louisville 26 & 2 class. The experience instantly and unexpectedly took root and yoga became a priority in her life. A seed planted quickly sprouted and produced the desire to acquire the ability and have the honor to share this with others leading her to train in the 2023 26 & 2 class with Glenn Brown and Cindy Lunsford. Heather is eager to learn from, evolve with, and contribute to the yoga community where everyone can facilitate transformation together.

✨Steve Santo debuted this morning at 8am for his first Hot 26 Instructed 75 minute teaching and it was fabulous.
ℹ️Steve used to be a runner and got into yoga to help stretch and strengthen other parts of his body. When a friend introduced him to Hot Yoga in 2015, he was hooked. Steve found the mental and physical challenge of learning to relax while you push yourself very similar to running. Hot Yoga also provided the much needed mental and physical release from the rest of life. Steve retired from a long career as an engineer/manager at the end of 2022 and it didn’t take long after for him to begin his teacher training. Steve has six grown kids and four grandkids – so he is used to leading group activities. :-)

✨Elizabeth Kristofek will be on this coming Wednesday 9:30 Hot 26 Instructed class, Yay!
ℹ️Elizabeth has been passionate about hot yoga for over 20 years, Elizabeth has relied on the benefits of the series to ease pregnancies, pandemic and cancer, and enrich joy, build compassion and community. Welcome to hot yoga! She looks forward to meeting you!
📷PC: Jeremy Covert thankyou!!

"Dave the Downward Dog Man" as he was known to us, was a dear friend, student, yoga teacher, dog trainer and so much more. He changed our world, both inside and outside the studio, for the better...we are filled with sadness that he is no longer with us on this earth.

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the loss of another beloved teacher in our community. David Benson passed away on Wednesday July 6th.

https://www.rattermanbrothers.com/obituaries/obituary-listings?obId=25319570

The shock and sadness we are feeling as a community right now is very heavy, but we remind ourselves that it is in these times which we can lean on one another. It is because of deep love that we feel such loss.

Dave completed his Vinyasa teacher training with Yogasoul at Hot Yoga Louisville in 2021. His charisma was truly electric. He trained many of our own dogs over the years, winning over our hearts, and as many have stated—he was truly a gifted “people trainer” in that sense, which was further displayed in his teaching of yoga as a physical and spiritual practice. Dave connected on a soul-level with so many of us. He IS a light. His authenticity, kindness, and passion will be deeply missed.

Dave was steadfast, an encouraging friend to his fellow teachers along their own paths, as well as to his students.

Dave worked intimately with the prison systems through canine rehabilitation. This important work will leave a legacy in the lives of humans and canines alike.

We will never forget his deep resounding OMs, his beautiful singing voice, bright smile, and his compassionate time serving this community in so many different ways.

Thank you all for your patience with our community as we continue to grieve these heartbreaking losses.

There is no wrong way to grieve and we will again be opening our space and our hearts to memorialize this beloved teacher. We will be in touch soon with specific memorial classes in his honor as well as hoping to have a Kirtan, music and chanting, to celebrate his resounding and never-ending impact on our world.

Please note information on visitation services to be held on Tuesday, July 12th 2-7pm.

Lori Linker. A teacher, student and friend. She will be remembered....

Lori was a teacher of the Bikram series for 23 years and an unforgettable presence in our studio and yoga community. She touched countless lives through the practices she led, friends she made, and teachers she inspired.

Lori passed away on Sunday June 26th.

Our experiences of grief, sorrow, and confusion are immeasurable and countless. Just as our connection to one another, memories and stories are also endless. We are thankful for both being true and more during the last week of navigating our studio and community's loss.

The next four Sunday 10am 90 minute Hot 26 classes will be taught and dedicated to her memory. Holding a space for all that come ...with true authentic acceptance for all the possible experiences to be shared, heard and leaving room in that special hot room for the healing opportunities from simply being and practicing in our truth together. Classes are free of charge to register and donations will be accepted towards Make-a-wish and CASA charities in her honor. Please register online or on your HYL app to reserve your spot.

We are eternally grateful for the opportunity to know her, love her, and remember her together.

This uplifting workshop will help you discover how to advance your yoga Asana by focusing on…well…your practice! How do you move through your practice on the mat? What is your intention, focus and goal? How do you move from one pose to the next? How do you assess your progress? What are your strengths, and what are your weaknesses? These are just some of the ideas we will explore in this workshop. Through applying new ways of thinking and moving we will begin to see what has been working and what clearly needs improvement. This workshop is perfect for students who have an open mind, who want to advance their practice and who are eager to reassess their practice and try new things.
