“I had been looking to find a beginner yoga class that would cater to someone whose joints *may* not work as well as they did 10 years ago. As the parent of a 6 year old, whose evenings are stolen by sports and homework, my only option was weekdays between 10 & 2. ‘Good luck’ was starting to become my mentality.

 

Low on energy one day, and hoping to find it in a cup, I stopped at Timmies in New Hamburg. Lo and behold - a gym…in New Hamburg…that has yoga?!?! And right beside a Timmies. It can’t be!

 

After pinching my thigh to see if I was dreaming, I did what most people in 2023 would do - I sat outside the gym and Googled it. Now I had to rub my eyes. I was tired but also in disbelief. Along with other options, they had a yoga class at noon on Wednesdays. I quickly opened my Amazon app, ordered a yoga mat and signed up for a free class. I figured why not, Amazon takes returns and I’m not committing.

 

Here’s where I would normally tell you all the great things about this class, but instead I’ll explain simply: 

 

1. I never returned the yoga mat ;)

2. Barb, the instructor, is fantastic. She will show you accommodations if needed, particularly if you, like me, dropped it like it was hot too many times in your 20’s and your knees are now paying in your 40’s

3. It is truly a class for all levels. You will feel comfortable if this is your first or 181st class.

4. Just try it. First class is free so you have no excuse!

5. There’s a Timmies next door – ‘nuff said!”
