As I sit down to reflect on 2024, I am overwhelmed with gratitude and joy. What a year it has been for Yoga Studio 90! This small hot yoga studio, built with the dream of bringing innovative workouts that renew the mind, body, and soul, has grown beyond anything I could have imagined.

This year, we expanded into West Feliciana Parish—what a milestone! Not only are we sharing our passion with a new community, but we’re also creating jobs and new roles, proving that even a small boutique studio can make a BIG impact.

For 14 years, you—our loyal members—have trusted us with your wellness journeys. That trust is not something I ever take for granted. Every class you attend, every goal you achieve, and every moment you spend with us fuels our mission and fills my heart.

To my amazing team, thank you for your dedication and your willingness to grow deeper alongside me. And to our members—thank YOU for letting us walk this journey with you. You’ve shown us that Yoga Studio 90 isn’t just a studio; it’s a family.

From my family to yours, I want you to know how deeply thankful I am for your support and trust. Together, we are building something truly extraordinary.

Can you believe it’s the first day of fall? In Southern Louisiana, the weather may not indicate the change in season as much as we’d like, but the turn of the season is always a great time to reassess and refocus on how we position ourselves for both purpose and success. And while we are big believers in the power of yoga, wellness is not just about what we do on the mat. It’s also about how we care for every aspect of our well-being, inside and out.

Whether you’re still adjusting to the new school year routine, ready to reset after a busy summer, or simply seeking balance as the holiday season approaches, fall offers the chance to refocus on what truly matters—your health and well-being. Just as nature prepares for renewal, now is the ideal time to align your mind, body, and spirit with your goals.

To help guide your fall wellness reset, we’ve rounded up a few trusted local resources, from nutritional experts to mental health support, that can offer the tools you need to thrive this season.

Our Trusted Wellness Tribe

We proudly seek out and build relationships with other local wellness providers that can be a resource to our members for this reason. Some that we’ve come to call our “Wellness Tribe” include:

Sync Wellness

Led by a team of seasoned medical professionals, SYNC Life is a trusted partner in optimizing health and happiness through integrative medicine. With treatments and personalized lifestyle plans from IV therapy and infrared sauna services to professional-grade supplements and regenerative aesthetic services, they don’t just treat symptoms – they uncover the root of the problem. When you to take control of your health, you can stop settling for normal and aim for optimal!

Arnold Nutrition

Kylie and her team at Arnold Nutrition help you look and feel your best, while still being able to indulge in a little jambalaya here and there, and during this time of year, we know you’ll want to make sure you can still squeeze in all your favorite Southern comfort foods while still working towards your goals! If you’re looking for clarity and confidence in yourself and your food choices, Arnold Nutrition can help, whether it’s by joining The Southernly Nourished Krewe for online access to courses, trainings and local food guides, or signing up for 1:1 coaching for a personalized plan and accountability partner.

Chaos Organizing

Chaos Organizing is a team of Professional Organizers in Baton Rouge with over a decade of transforming busy homes into peaceful spaces for families. If you’re tired of being overwhelmed with your home and feeling like you never have a chance to rest, taking control of your spaces with decluttering and organizational systems can be a life-changer! When we feel comfortable and at ease at home, we lower our stress from the inside out so our bodies can get the rest it needs to recharge.

The Well Clinic

The Well Clinic helps you find your path to wellness with comprehensive mental health services, from counseling to medicine and Neurofeedback. Their integrated approach treats you as a whole person – the physical, psychological, relational, cultural, and spiritual aspects of you who are – so they can provide mental health treatment as individualized as you are. Fall and winter can be some of the toughest times for those struggling with their mental health, so if you’ve noticed you’re not feeling like your best self or are fighting thoughts and feelings that are difficult to manage, there’s no better time than now to reach out.

These local businesses are meeting the needs of so many individuals who want to live well in every sense of the word. That’s why we want to encourage you to research and reach out to the ones that are speaking to you in this season – it just takes one small step to set big changes into motion!

Wellness Resources in Action

Have you ever thought you could use some help dialing in your nutrition? One of our long-time Yoga Studio 90 members reached out to Arnold Nutrition two months ago with a simple goal: to lose a few pounds. What she was doing in the studio was certainly helping, but she knew the missing puzzle piece was her nutrition. What she gained by connecting with Kylie at Arnold Nutrition was far beyond just weight loss. She discovered new insights about her body that have propelled her success, leading to incredible results. She’s down on the scale, but more importantly, she now has the energy to power through her days – no more afternoon slumps, and she no longer wakes up tired. She’s truly thriving from the inside out, and that’s exactly what our mission at Yoga Studio 90 is all about!

Coming Soon: Lunch and Learn

Personally, I’m a big believer in the power of time spent on the mat with our incredible classes combined with investing in the care of my mind and body. Making sure my hormones and gut health are in check, and staying eager to learn more about fueling my body, has been key to my own wellness journey. These ingredients – caring for both physical and mental health – are what help us thrive, and that’s why I trust our wellness partners so deeply.

If you’re interested in learning more about how these resources can help you live well, I invite you to join us for a special Lunch and Learn on Tuesday, October 22 from 11:30AM to 1PM. You’ll have the chance to meet the owners of Sync Wellness, Arnold Nutrition, Chaos Organizing, and The Well Clinic and learn how they can support your wellness journey. More information on this event will be coming soon, so mark your calendars and be sure to subscribe to our emails and follow us on Instagram and Facebook to get all the details!

Until then, let’s continue to prioritize our wellness and stay on this path of thriving together.

Here are 4 tips to help you establish and stick to a healthy fitness and nutrition routine and reach your summer body goals.

Hello, wonderful yogis!

I’m April Hill, the proud owner of Yoga Studio 90, and today I want to share with you the incredible benefits of practicing hot yoga, especially during the summer months. Hot yoga can seem intimidating, but it’s one of the most rewarding practices you can incorporate into your fitness and wellness routine. Let’s dive into why hot yoga is a game-changer, especially when the temperatures rise.

Hot yoga involves performing a series of yoga poses in a room heated to around 95-105 degrees Fahrenheit. The heat helps to increase flexibility, enhance detoxification, and promote greater cardiovascular activity. It’s a practice that challenges both the body and mind, leaving you feeling rejuvenated and energized.

The summer heat, combined with the warm environment of a hot yoga studio, makes your muscles more pliable. This increased flexibility allows for deeper stretches and poses, reducing the risk of injury and improving overall performance.

Sweating is your body’s natural way of detoxifying. During a hot yoga session, you’ll sweat more, which helps to flush out toxins and impurities from your skin and body. This detoxification process can lead to clearer skin, improved circulation, and a boosted immune system.

Practicing hot yoga in a heated room increases your heart rate and metabolism, leading to a higher calorie burn compared to regular yoga. It’s an excellent way to stay fit and maintain a healthy weight during the summer.

Hot yoga not only strengthens your body but also your mind. The challenging conditions teach you to stay calm, focused, and composed, even when things get tough. This mental resilience can translate into other areas of your life, helping you handle stress and challenges more effectively.

Hot yoga requires you to stay well-hydrated. This practice helps you develop a habit of drinking more water, which is essential for overall health, especially during the hot summer months.

Ensure you drink plenty of water before, during, and after your hot yoga session. Consider adding electrolytes to your water to replenish the minerals lost through sweat.

Wear lightweight, moisture-wicking clothing that allows your skin to breathe and sweat to evaporate. Avoid heavy or restrictive clothing that can trap heat.

Pay attention to how your body feels during the session. If you start to feel dizzy or lightheaded, take a break, sip some water, and rest in child’s pose until you feel ready to continue.

If you’re new to hot yoga, give yourself time to adjust to the heat. Start with shorter sessions and gradually increase the duration as your body becomes more accustomed to the temperature.

At Yoga Studio 90, we offer a range of hot yoga classes designed to help you maximize the benefits of this powerful practice. Our experienced instructors will guide you through each session, ensuring you practice safely and effectively. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or a beginner, our hot yoga classes are tailored to suit all levels.

Thank you for being part of our vibrant community at Yoga Studio 90. I look forward to seeing you on the mat and helping you achieve your wellness goals through the power of hot yoga.

Meet me on the mat,

Summer Bodies Start Now! https://yogastudio90.com/summer-bodies-start-now/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=summer-bodies-start-now Tue, 19 Mar 2024 18:14:31 +0000 https://yogastudio90.com/?p=993 Summer bodies start in the winter! Here are 4 tips to help you establish and stick to a healthy fitness and nutrition routine and reach your summer body goals.

The post Summer Bodies Start Now! appeared first on Yoga Studio 90.

If you have a goal to get in great shape for the summer, here’s your friendly reminder that the clock is ticking! You may have heard that summer bodies are made in the winter, and that’s no exaggeration. It takes time and commitment to sculpt the long and lean physique you’re looking for, but we can help you get started. With some discipline, 90 days from now, you can feel a lot more confident in the skin you’re in, and we want to help you feel as fabulous as we already know you are!

Here are a few tips to help you get in shape for the summer:

Make a plan and lean on discipline, not motivation:

Let’s get right to it: through years of training countless members, we have seen that consistently showing up to class (in studio or online) 4 or more days per week will create the long and lean body you are looking for.

We know that’s a big commitment, and some weeks will be harder than others to step on the mat. That’s where your planning and discipline can kick in when motivation is lacking. Many of our classes are under an hour, and you deserve that time! Make a commitment to prioritize yourself and your health, and create routines that help you stick with it when you’re feeling tired or not in the mood. Pre-scheduling your classes for the week on Sunday evenings, laying out your workout clothes the night before, and keeping a water bottle in the fridge that’s ready to go are just a few ways you can cultivate a healthy and consistent habit of showing up on the mat.

Listen to your body when it comes to nutrition:

You’ll notice that your class attendance even begins to influence your food choices, and your body (if you are eagerly listening) will guide you: “drink more water! Less salt. Don’t choose the enchiladas – you know it’ll rise up in the middle of class!”  This self awareness helps you make better nutritional choices, which in turn will help you reach your fitness goals.

Don’t forget to take hydration into account as part of your nutrition, too. If you’re showing up for our heated studio classes, this is even more important. Proper hydration is about more than just getting enough water – it helps with muscle recovery, cell turnover, feeling full and even boosting your metabolism, so don’t skip out on it!

If you show up, choose fresh foods, get enough protein (which we can help guide you) and drink 75 + ounces of water, we promise you’ll see and feel the changes!

Keep a journal and celebrate small wins:

Speaking of listening to your body, we are big believers in tracking, and that includes your mindset. It doesn’t have to be complex, either. We love a good ‘ole journal for this, and we encourage keeping track of some key metrics as well as how you feel. If you’ve had a RECENTER session with April or you’ve been around YS90 for awhile, you may already know how much we love and recommend My Little Black Book for this!

Yes, it’s important to note the numbers like your starting weight and measurements, but documenting how you feel when you work out (or when you don’t work out!), the changes you’re noticing, the foods that make you feel good, and your mindset will all help you see how far you’ve come. Celebrating small wins is key to staying on track with your goals, and keeping a journal is a great way to do that.

Be flexible and give yourself grace:

It’s not easy to stay on track, especially during the oh-so-busy Spring season! All of these things are important to cultivating consistency and working towards your goal, but don’t forget to give yourself a little grace and flexibility too. We love our OnDemand library for those busy weeks when we just can’t get to the studio, or when we’re traveling and on the go. And if you miss a class or two in the process, don’t sweat it – just hop back into your routine and keep making forward progress!

Get your summer body started with our March Special

5 Things to Know Before Your First Hot Yoga Class https://yogastudio90.com/5-things-to-know-before-your-first-hot-yoga-class/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=5-things-to-know-before-your-first-hot-yoga-class Tue, 30 Jan 2024 16:57:25 +0000 https://yogastudio90.com/?p=883 I’m going to share with you what I WISH someone had shared to prepare me for my first hot yoga class! Here are 5 ways you can prepare for your first class at Yoga Studio 90.

The post 5 Things to Know Before Your First Hot Yoga Class appeared first on Yoga Studio 90.

Do you remember your very first class experience with us? 

I’ll never forget my first hot yoga class experience – it was January, 2002. I was a new bride and heard about a hot yoga place, no music. The teaching guy was strict and instructed people to get into poses that left them raving about how good they felt and looked. 

After hearing this from a few people consistently and noticing how good they did look and it was  obvious they felt good too. I was willing to try it. 

I bounced in there and what they had told me was accurate.  It was a small warehouse that most people used for storage. Nothing fancy. Small and simple. I found this to be refreshing in a way. No music and no big signs or distractions. Only people and their yoga mat and it was HOT!  Y’all… I didn’t even bring a water bottle. 

I lasted 20 minutes and had to walk out and, yep… I lost my lunch. I remember sitting in the parking lot cooling off and thinking, “I’m going back in!”  

I paced myself and didn’t try to do every rep. I finished. I was hooked.  

I’m going to share with you what I WISH someone had shared to prepare me back then, so you can be more ready for your first hot yoga class than I was!

Not everyone finds it easy to bounce in and try something new. It’s intimidating. When I first started hot yoga, I learned a lot the hard way. That’s why I want people to feel confident and prepared when they arrive at our studio. I want you to feel your absolute best here, whether it’s your first time or your 50th at Yoga Studio 90, and we want you to keep coming back! So let’s go…

Here are 5 things to know before your first hot yoga class at Yoga Studio 90:
  1. Make a plan: Identify 3 class times / 3  days you are going to show up within the next 5 days to the studio. Don’t cancel on you!  Trust me there is a purpose to this. 
  2. Comfort is key: Don’t overthink it – just wear something that is comfortable and you feel good in. The important thing is that it’s something you can move around in with ease. And don’t worry about shoes – we practice barefoot!
  3. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate: Drink lots of water the day before you attend. Make sure you are well nourished and hydrated. This is not the time to kick back a pitcher of margaritas and enchiladas the night before you attend a hot yoga class! You can even plan to eat something light before attending. Examples: small yogurt, handful of grapes or almonds. Don’t forget to bring your water, yoga mat, and a towl – you WILL sweat!
  4. Arrive to class a few minutes early: You are starting something new. You are investing in you. Don’t be late on you! Introduce yourself to the teacher and let them know you’re new, any physical ailments, injuries, or limitations you may have, and what’s important to you – our instructors are so helpful and always willing to meet you where you are by helping you adjust or ease into poses.

We love all the benefits of yoga – mind, body, and soul. We believe it’s a life-long practice with endless benefits, seen and unseen, but we’re not naive! We know what you really want to know – can yoga really change the way my body looks for the better?

Does a regular yoga practice help with changes to your body composition and shape like you see in traditional weight training or cardio-based fitness routines? Can I get a healthy, toned body from practicing yoga? Read on – you may be surprised at what yoga can do for you!

How Yoga Can Shape Your Body

When yoga is introduced into your fitness routine, you can expect to see plenty of positive changes – inside and out. While many people may not exactly think of yoga as a fat-burner, it definitely has the ability to help with fat loss, increase muscle tone, lengthen and strengthen, and build flexibility.

And don’t underestimate the power of HEAT! At Yoga Studio 90, our hot yoga classes help amplify all the benefits of yoga by bringing the SWEAT – helping you burn off extra calories, stretch and lengthen those muscles even more, and detoxify the body for better blood flow, cell turnover, and recovery.

With regular practice, all of these things can lead to that long-and-lean body you dream of! Don’t believe us?

Check out some of these amazing before and afters from our very own members:

And There’s Even More Benefits of Yoga!

Practicing yoga regularly has many benefits beyond the body shaping. One thing yoga does is strengthen your spine, lower back, and abdominal muscles. This alone allows you to stand taller! Individuals who described their appearance as short, squatty and plump have seen incredible results in changing the shape of their body simply from the lengthening effects of yoga.

And the beauty in yoga is that you are strengthening and elongating all muscle groups, creating a long, strong and healthy body. Our members share with us how practicing through the years allows them to stand tall and confident in everything from meetings, weddings to the court. 

Don’t underestimate the power of the poses either – every movement we go through in a hot yoga class is intentional, and has the power to influence internal body functions like cortisol levels, reducing stress, promoting relaxation and improving overall mental health and wellbeing.

Positive Changes Will Happen If You Stay With It.

As you can see, the benefits are truly countless in a regular yoga practice! Your ideal body is within reach with hot yoga if you commit to putting in the work, and you’ll get the added mental and spiritual benefits as well.

Everyone talks about New Year's Resolutions, but how can we establish healthy habits that really LAST this year? Read on to see a few of our ideas, and read to end for our January special offer!

As we settle in to the new year, so many of us are focused on how we can get a fresh start, and how we can make healthy changes that stick.

While the calendar switching over isn’t a magic button, it is a great time to reflect, recenter, and renew priorities. Everyone talks about New Year’s Resolutions, but how can we establish healthy habits that really LAST this year? Read on to see a few of our ideas.

Here are 5 small steps for a fresh, healthy start:

  1.  Embrace a fresh start.  A clean slate is inviting like a good welcome mat.
  2. Know your numbers. Be aware of important facts like your weight, cholesterol, finances, etc. These numbers don’t define you, but knowledge is power! Knowing your numbers gives you a baseline to measure against, keeps you accountable to your goals, and helps you quickly pivot if something goes off kilter.  
  3. Watch your mouth! We’re talking about both what’s going in and what’s coming out. An awareness of both will help you make better choices. Here are a few things to consider: Is what you’re eating FUEL for your body? How will it make you feel in about 1-2 hours? Is this item moving you closer to my goal? What about your words that are coming out? Do your words beat you down or build you up? It’s up to YOU to build YOU up! Speak life. 
  4. Care for your body & nourish your 5 senses. Celebrate the simple steps of each day – you are worth it! Even small acts can help nourish your mind, body, and soul. At the studio, we kicked this practice off on New Year’s Day! The first 20 people in class received a small gift including a powerful essential oils shower bomb. This was designed to pamper the body and the senses with the simple everyday task of a shower – it really is the little things that add up!
  5. Sleep and stretch. These two important acts complement each other so well! We know we need rest, but stretching also helps the body relax, increase blood flow, and prevent injury or decrease stubborn body aches and pain. If you struggle to fall asleep, consider adding some simple stretches before going to bed. When you wake, start with a few light stretches to increase blood flow to your muscle groups and help prevent injuries.

Meet us on the mat in 2024!

Are you ready for a reset this year? If getting back on track with your health habits and prioritizing your fitness is part of your goals this year, I invite you to meet us on the mat! We have so many ways to help you make healthy changes that STICK this year. New members can take advantage of our New Year Special of 3 Classes for $59 to help you get started, and we believe after 3 classes you’ll be hooked on your new healthy habit!

If you’re already a Total Body Unlimited member, now is a great time to cash in on your RECENTER session! This is a COMPLIMENTARY service for you to have a chance to meet with April, discuss your goals, assess where you are, and help you formulate a realistic plan that we can help you stay accountable to. Check Zen Planner for available times and let’s make it happen!

We can’t wait to see you in the studio and help you reach all your goals this year. You’re worth it, and we’re here for you every step of the way!
