What is Yoga Recess and why should our readers be excited?
Yoga Recess is a beautiful, centrally located yoga studio and a
mobile yoga organization offering convenient opportunities for you
to have a yoga recess anytime, anywhere....if you can dream it, we
can bring it!
How is Yoga Recess different from the competition?
We are unique because Yoga Recess allows Yoga to go mobile.
With this fast paced world we live in, we need to now, more than
ever, press the reset button and take a yoga recess. We travel on-site
bringing a yoga recess to anyone, anytime, anywhere. We bring yoga
into the schools for staff and students, libraries, outdoor settings,
offices and workplaces and are building to offer more locations to
suit client needs. We work one on one with you to design a program
that can work for you and your group. We also offer Breathing
Techniques and Guided Meditation workshops for the workplace
and develop site-specific workplace wellness solutions
individualized for your sector of work to promote optimal health
and wellness. In addition, Yoga Recess has a quiet, peaceful home
base where clients can feel at home and enjoy an hour long
Traditional Hatha yoga class complete with Pranayama (breathing
techniques), guided meditation and an asana practice (postures),
followed by a cup of health-promoting all natural tea. Yoga Recess
offers special family building classes and workshops such as Family
Yoga, Kids Yoga and Date Night Partner Yoga. All of these workshops
promote self- love, confidence, bonding, connection and
development of awareness. Quarterly, we bring in local health
experts and offer alternative wellness workshops to promote a
holistic scope of health and wellness.
Why did you choose Walker Rd. as the location?
The Walker Road location has great energy! Even when I saw it
in its renovation stages, I could feel it. It was exactly what I was
seeking and immediately I could see a blueprint in my mind of how
it would look upon completion and it just felt right. (It also helps
that my landlord is the most friendly and accommodating person I
have ever worked with, and my neighbors from Scented and Dr.
Reena Pathak came right over to meet and welcome me to the space
– just a wonderful vibe).
Does the name have a story behind it?
I worked an Admin job for seventeen years and honestly, yoga is
what got me through the high stress, sedentary nature of a desk job.
Sitting is really hard on the body! When I began to transform my
thinking and move toward the authentic lifestyle that resonated
with me, I realized that I could help others in the workplace to
optimize their health and wellness by coming on-site and making
yoga fit into their day. Often times, we work long hours and at the
end of the day need to get home to family, dinner, extra-curriculars,
etc. and so my ideology is to help clients incorporate a fun and
restorative break into their day so they can return to work operating
with energy and clarity, and thus a yoga recess was born. Think
back to your days as a student in school and you will realize that is
exactly what recess did for you – release energy, feel good, promote
health and wellness, social connections, increase movement, uplift
your mood and so much more..Namaste
