Greetings!
Spring is the perfect time to settle in to a new yoga routine. :)
In addition to a few new classes, we are excited to host some pretty awesome events in the next few months. Need to unwind with some wine and yoga? Want to shop premium brand athletic apparel without traveling to a mall? Or learn new acrobatic tricks with a few close friends? We have a workshop for that! Visit our
website
for a full list, or check out our links below.
You may have met Julie Gonsior in a power yoga or aerial class, but read how yoga has truly transformed her life after battling years of back pain. She is an inspiration to us all and a true joy to have in our community.
We are thrilled to welcome Catherine Brenny to The Fire Within Yoga team. In addition to teaching weekly classes, she will be offering kid's yoga classes starting April 8th. Catherine owns and operates
Cat's Kid's Yoga
in a number of daycares and preschools in our area, as well as hosts workshops and special events for children. Read more about her below. We are honored to have her join our team!
Enjoy that fresh spring air! We hope to see you soon.

Meet Catherine Brenny, new instructor and owner of Cat's Kid's Yoga
|
Children have always been a significant part of my life. I admire their love for life and embrace how they learn from moment to moment. After receiving a Bachelor’s in Family and Human Development from Arizona State University, I started my journey as a toddler and preschool teacher for almost a decade.
When I moved back to Minnesota, I started practicing yoga regularly. It became more than a workout for me- it became a lifestyle. Attending classes wasn’t enough for me. The next step in my journey was to enroll in yoga teacher training. In fact, I loved it so much I did it twice! The benefits of yoga physically, emotionally, and spiritually are amazing! I am a true believer that yoga can benefit every walk of life. Since children are the future, my goal is to teach them necessary tools that allow them to practice healthy life long skills. I will encourage children to grow and discover, find inner peace, and embrace every opportunity with mindfulness.
My Certificates include:
Bachelor’s in Family and Human Development
Super Stretch Children’s Yoga
400 Hour Yoga Teacher Training by Life Time Academy
Level 1 & 2 Yin Yoga Teacher Training
First Degree Reiki Practitioner
Yoga Calm (in progress)
I will be offering
Cat's Kid's Yoga
for children ages 4-10; $10 per child, $5 for each additional child on the following days:
Sundays 4-4:45
Mondays 5-5:45 (same time as Mindful Movement!)
Wednesdays 4:30-5:15
I will host monthly Cat's Kid's Yoga workshops, as well as adding summer classes. To learn more, visit my
website
.
I'm also excited to offer Yin Yoga for all levels on Sunday evenings from 5:15-6:15 and Power Yoga Mondays at 6:15 starting April 8th. I hope to see you all soon. Much love! Namaste.

Member Spotlight-- Julie Gonsior

Julie was in her mid-50s when she started yoga. After years on her feet and a discectomy on her L5-S1 joint 10 years ago, she had experienced plenty of low back pain. About a year ago, her pain flared up again and her physicians discussed another surgery. She had previously tried pain medications, cortisone injections, massage, and physical therapy to help with her pain management. Julie wanted to incorporate regular yoga practice into her routine and found it helped keep her body stretched and in less pain.
When she heard aerial yoga was coming to the studio, she wanted to try it, but was uncertain she would be able to due to her past back issues.
“Knowing this, Lindsey did a lot of research to see if I would benefit or not. I gave it a shot and was so excited to realize after my first class my back felt better than before!” says Julie. “By practicing the inversions and using the silks as a prop, similar to traction, my pain has decreased and I feel stronger than before. Aerial yoga has been a game changer for me and my everyday life and activities. I absolutely look forward to going to aerial once or twice a week and notice it when I miss a class.”
Julie also continues to practice mat yoga on a regular basis, which keeps her happy and healthy. “Anyone who is uncertain that yoga--or aerial yoga--isn’t for them due to age, medical issues, physical limitations, or just fear of the unknown: JUST TRY IT. I am forever grateful for Lindsey; her love, light, her beautiful studio, and her ability to push us all beyond our limits. This is my new normal, and I love it!”
