Five Reasons a Membership at Studio South is Worth Every Penny

 

1. The Best People You Will Ever Meet

At its core, the people are what make Studio South different. Studio South’s instructors and members will always greet you with a smile.Yogis preach that they are “non-judgemental” but at Studio South, we seriously mean it. Meet us at your mat as you are.

 

2. It Feels Like Home

 

Studio South is filled with pretty places and spaces and there’s no denying the down-home atmosphere. Not only is the space comfy and beautiful, it comes complete with excellent amenities.  For instance, in the changing room, you never need to worry about bringing your own shampoo or conditioner. Ladies, did you forget a hair tie? We’ve got you covered. That's what we call southern hospitality. It won't take long before Studio South starts to feel like your home away from home.

 

3. You Get Yoga + Barre Classes

 

Variety is the spice of life. If you’ve ever taken a barre class, you know the tightness in your hips and soreness all over that you feel the next day from those awesome isometric exercises. The perfect solution: hot yoga. Studio South teaches both yoga and barre classes, allowing you the ability to alternate your practice and make the most of both.

 

4. Exercise Gives You Endorphins, Endorphins Make You Happy

 

Have a healthier happy hour each day at Studio South. The positive energy at the studio is infectious. You’ll leave feeling better, looking better, and with a smile on your face.

 

5. We Care

 

We care about our members and the local community. That’s why we aim to spread the love locally through Local Love. Local Love is a program through which Studio South gives back to the community in a number of ways. Learn more about it here: https://www.studiosouthwilliamsburg.com/local-love

Week 5: The glass is just a glass

The Glass Is Half Full
by Paul Crapol
 
“Cheer up, it’s not so bad!” It seems that someone is always willing to say that whenever we’re walking down the street, absorbed in our thoughts. “Look on the bright side,” they encourage us.
 
Of course, that kind someone has probably just inherited an obscene sum of money or won the largest Powerball jackpot ever last Tuesday. Easy for them to say, “Cheer up” – their most difficult decision of the day is whether to buy or lease their new robot butler.
 
But sometimes it turns out that the kind soul reaching out to us is someone who practices yoga. And they really do look on the bright side (or at least not on the dark side), regardless of what happens in life.
 
Plain and simple, the regular practice of yoga helps our outlook on life. When we practice yoga, we don’t run away and hide from the thoughts, sensations, and emotions that run through our minds. Rather, we are encouraged to just “stay with” whatever arises. Without judgment and, as much as possible, without the knee-jerk reactions that have become ingrained habits. Using this mindfulness, we soon see how often we automatically attach labels of “good” or “bad” to just about everything that arises in our lives.
 
Yoga practice helps us to take a moment and just breathe before we react. Yoga can’t stop x, y,or z from happening, but it can help us in how we respond to x, y, and z. Over time, that negative “self-talk” we all know so well loosens its grip a bit and we can engage with whatever we’re thinking and feeling. So, when that proverbial glass of water arises in our lives, we can unattach from the immediate reactions of “half empty” or “half full” and just see it for what it is: A glass of water.
Paul Crapol is a wonderful part of our Studio South Family.  He brings a balanced voice that is full of warmth and compassion to all those he comes in contact with.  He teaches Hot Yoga and Hot Flow.  He is also a professional writer.

Week 4: You are what you eat!

Week 4....has it really been a month already or close to it?  Keep a food journal.  Here's the real test....let's keep each other honest.  For the next 24 hours write down every morsel of everything you eat.  Next to the food, write down how you feel.  Report back.....is there a correlation.  Do you tend to eat less of the bad and more of the good when you are writing it all down?  

Did you know?  We often mistake thirst for hunger.  The next time you are famished start with a big glass of water!!

Week 3: Keep off the couch…

Move it or lose it.  You know it.  Working out, physical activity, getting your heart rate up, and your stress level down are all good for you!  This week we are encouraged to not only engage in exercise but to add movement to our lives.  It would be great to add 5 miles or 90 minutes of yoga to our daily lives but even more impressive would just be to add movement.  I've been parking further away from the grocery store (all goes according to plan until I lost my wallet....getting twice as much movement!).  Get down on the floor to play with the kids....they are great partners to practice your next AcroYoga routine with;)  I've even given a pedometer to my kids...at 4 and 6 they get the idea that the more steps they take the better off they are....for me they are like puppies and the more steps they take the better they sleep.  Actually aren't we all like puppies...the more we play and move the better off we are.  

A body in motion is more likely to stay in motion.  How are you moving today???????  Please leave a comment and share any tips you may have for others!
