“From taking my first yoga class around ten years ago up until this day, it’s been a huge shift into how my body feels along with how fully present I’ve become in everyday life. Before deepening my practice and getting into a good routine here at YogaSix Oak Park, I’ve always heard stories about the effect yoga has in regards to calming the mind and helping to improve the posture along with so many other countless benefits to the body when you start practicing on a consistent basis that I was curious about what kind of effect it would have one me. Like starting anything new, it takes time for changes to happen but I noticed after the first few weeks how good I feel throughout the day and the subtle changes in my posture that my friends and family started to take notice too. I remember a few years ago, they came up to me and said something has changed in you for the better but just couldn’t pinpoint exactly what but I knew that it was the yoga practice that I had recently started. Since I got into a routine of taking classes a few times a week I noticed that I’m calm in what previously were stressful situations at work and how big of a difference my now aligned posture had on my confidence. These classes have also helped increase my strength and form a community in the yoga world. It’s been amazing seeing the changes in my overall well-being and recommend it to anyone who is interested in trying it out. It’s benefitted me so much that I even went through a yoga teacher training and now look forward to helping others get started on their journey.” – Mark S., founding member of YogaSix Oak Park
