What benefits were you hoping to receive from your yoga practice?

I started doing yoga in an effort to control anxiety at work, have more energy, more flexibility, and a body that looks like it belongs in the movie 300 :)” – Mishal P.

How has yoga and your practice exceeded your expectations?

As a result of my practice, I am more disciplined with my eating habits, more productive with my time outside of work, more appreciative of the present moment, and rarely consume alcohol.” – Mishal P.

How has yoga benefitted you off the mat?

Practicing yoga is not just an activity, it is a lifestyle. Outside of practice, I find myself breathing slowly and deeply without even thinking about it. I have also learned to loosen up and not take life so seriously.” – Mishal P.

Do you notice a change in your physical, mental, emotional and or spiritual body from a regular yoga practice?

Physically, I have gained a lot of flexibility and upper body strength. Mentally, I am much more focused now.” – Mishal P.

Have you tried other styles of yoga? What makes Radiant Hot Yoga your preferred place of practice?

I have tried doing yoga at the gym, through P90X, at CorePower, and Radiant. Hot yoga is very challenging anywhere so it’s tough to stay motivated and do it consistently.

At Radiant, there is a great sense of camaraderie in every class. It really helps when you know there are people rooting for you to get through each session.

I think Darlene has done a great job of combining meditation, a work out, and a cleanse into one class.” – Mishal P.
