Stretch Your Experience... Joyful Hot Yoga in Austin, Texas
Friday, February 19, 2010
Closer and Closer!
The studio is coming along beautifully! Today the painters are finishing the walls in the yoga room, next week the floors and mirrors come in, and soon we will be ready to open!
Laughing Sun Yoga is born of a deep love for Hot Yoga, total respect for the master who taught it to me, adoration for the students I have taught, and a burning desire to expand my practice and my knowledge.
Laughing Sun Yoga is a boutique hot yoga studio that focuses on the individual - their needs, their challenges, their practice. I want to expand upon the basic hot yoga practice to better serve the needs of the individuals who practice it, and to deepen their understanding of what this thing is called yoga. At the same time, it is JOYFUL hot yoga - no dogma, no "yoga nazis," lots of laughter, a place of peaceful, engaging support for the student on their journey.
Laughing Sun is a place for serious yoga students (even if it's their first class) who want to learn as much as they can about yoga - theory, philosophy, history - and to expand their practice beyond their current limitations. This is what I want for myself, and so that is what I want to provide for you.
About Rebecca Jordan
Walking the path of the yogi is not easy. There are times of challenge, difficulty, times when you doubt if you are even on the right path. There are also times of great joy, happiness, laughter, and secure knowledge of the rightness of your journey.
My journey has been full of many ups and downs, twists and turns - just like a yoga practice. I began my career as a fashion designer in New York City, decided that wasn't for me, but didn't know what else was. I discovered Bikram Yoga in 2001, and loved it immediately. I attended teacher training in the spring of 2002 and began teaching immediately. I have loved every class I've ever taught - I love my students, I love yoga. I have been very blessed to have taught in many places, including Asia in a 6 month visit to Singapore. Most recently, I was the Studio Manager for Bikram Yoga Austin - Yogagroove. I was with YG for 2 years and helped grow the business into its current expansion. I have many dedicated and beloved students there who I miss enormously. I left YG in February of 2009 and immediately began to put together my vision for Laughing Sun Yoga: a boutique hot yoga studio that focuses on the individual - their needs, their challenges, their practice. I see Laughing Sun as a place for serious yoga students who want to learn as much as they can about yoga - theory, philosophy, history - and to expand their practice beyond their current limitations. This is what I want for myself, so that is what I want to provide for you.
I currently live in South Austin where I can walk to Barton Springs Pool and enjoy the bounty of Zilker Park. I am also a raw vegan and offering counseling and coaching on transitioning to a healthier diet-style, including yoga and diet for weight loss.
I look forward to seeing you soon!
