“When my sister told me I should come with her to Sumits for a hot yoga class, I was reluctant to say the least. I had been to a few non-heated yoga classes in the past and didn't really care for them. And honestly, the "hot" part didn't sound very appealing to me either. But I thought, the first class is free so I won't really be losing anything by going to one class. That was almost 4 years ago. I have never been one who enjoys exercise, of any sort really, and certainly never expected to enjoy one that made me sweat more than I thought possible. But now, I can’t imagine what my life would be like without the amazing community of people and the inspiring instructors at Sumits. Every time I make it to my mat, it challenges me in very different ways. Sometimes to push my body, other times to simply quiet my mind. I know that the peace and strength I get from my practice has helped me not only on my mat but in my everyday life as well. It has made me less anxious and more patient and given me a serenity and thoughtfulness I have never experienced. By taking the time to focus on myself, I feel it has made me a better person and, more importantly, a better mother. I can't thank my sister enough for convincing me to go with her that first time. She unknowingly brought me the peace I never knew I needed in my life.”
