I have been taking classes at Dragonfly - both the Middleton and Fitchburg studios - since about July 2013. When I first started, I had never done yoga, let alone hot yoga, and had never participated in group exercise classes. I was initially blown away by how welcoming and friendly the staff was. I was also amazed by how the instructors were able to lead a class that seemed to be made for a beginner like me....even though I was sometimes the only beginner in the room. As I have continued my practice, I now realize that the way that the instructors teach is truly geared for all levels and all people, just like the tagline says. When leading the classes, the instructors use language that allows new yogis to understand how to come into the various postures, while at the same time, helping to lead more experienced yogis to optimize and expand their practice without feeling as though they are in a "beginner" class. I haven't been to other studios, but I have to believe that this is unique and what makes Dragonfly stand out. The barre classes are just as fantastic as the yoga classes. Most instructors give a variety of options which allow newer practitioners to build up strength while also allowing experienced practitioners to continue to build on their foundation. In addition, the spirit of yoga remains in the room during barre classes through reminders to breathe well and do what is best for your body on a given day, so there is no judgement...just a great workout. I would recommend Dragonfly to anyone...any shape, any size, any fitness level; no matter what you are looking for, they will likely have something for you in a welcoming, relaxing, WARM,...
Read moreI started attending Dragonfly several years ago, and fell in love with it from the moment I walked in. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and they take the time to get to know you and answer any questions you have. Dragonfly is appropriate for all experience levels, whether you're new to yoga or have years of experience, and they have a wide variety of class offerings. I initially took hot yoga classes (ranging from relaxing to intense!), and then switched to the prenatal class when I got pregnant. I love that I always feel comfortable when I step into the studio - no judgement, no worrying, no comparing - I come as I am that day, and leave feeling peaceful and energized. One other perk of Dragonfly is having two locations! Both are beautiful and clean and have their own benefits - I love the short drive to the Fitchburg location, and I love the views from the windows and the tea lounge at the Middleton location. Thank you, Dragonfly, for helping me...
Read moreI have been a member of Dragonfly Hot Yoga since June, 2013. I attended my first class the day after moving here from Green Bay. Carrie made me feel so at home, the other yogis were kind and respectful, the Middleton salon is gorgeous! The airy, light studio and tea lounge are warm and welcoming. I had never been in a studio quite like this! Sign me up! The instructors are excellent, and you can tell they have a true love of yoga by how hard they work at teaching, refining poses, technique, yet always reminding students to not be too hard on themselves. Besides being excellent at teaching, they all have fun personalities! The number, times, & types of classes is mind-blowing. There is no excuse to not go to yoga on any given day! I am so grateful for Dragonfly Yoga and plan to continue to experience their diverse offerings of classes...
