October Yogi of the Month

Danielle

Q: How long have you practiced yoga and what other forms of exercise do you like to do?
I’ve been practicing yoga since around 2009, and my hot yoga journey started in 2014. I also love Cycling, strength-based workouts, Boxing, and walking.

Q: What brought you to YogaSpark?
I was originally on a mission to try every hot yoga studio I could find, and I discovered YogaSpark when you were next to the train station in Mamaroneck. Then you got flooded and moved, and it just wasn’t as convenient for me anymore. I missed it so much. Then this summer, to my absolute amazement, YogaSpark opened in my hometown. It felt like such a full-circle moment.

Q: What do you love about practicing hot power yoga?
The sweat, the challenge, and especially the energy I feel after I finish a class. I always leave feeling stronger, clearer, and accomplished.

Q: Can you give a word or phrase that describes yoga to you?
Strength & Release

Q: What’s your current favorite song to flow to?
Honestly, anything with singing bowls. The sound completely changes the energy for me.

Q: Do you have a favorite quote?
I think the quote you’re thinking of is:

“If you only walk on sunny days, you’ll never reach your destination.” ~ Paulo Coelho

Q: What yoga pose do you love practicing right now?

I’m really enjoying Half Camel right now. It’s new to me, which makes it even more fun—I love finding a pose that suddenly clicks and gives me something new to work on.

Q: Tell us one non-yoga factoid about you.
I'm a residential real estate appraiser, so when I'm not on my mat, I'm usually somewhere measuring a house.
