Teacher Spotlight - DC

We met up with a few CorePower Yoga teachers to talk about how their practice makes them stronger, their personal mantras and their advice to yoga newbies.

Adela A.

• In 10 words or less describe why you love yoga: I love yoga because each practice is an opportunity to accomplish something new.

• What is a mantra or intention that you frequently come back to in class?​ Fuel your fire – sometimes that means channeling your passion and other times it means channeling your frustrations, fueling that fire, using that energy to bring a positive and meaningful purpose to your practice.

• What is your advice to beginner yogis? Don’t be afraid to fall. As a beginner, it’s okay to use “the wall” to help build your strength and courage as you progress in your yoga journey.

Brittney S. 

• In 10 words or less describe why you love yoga:  Yoga liberates me from perfection & empowers me into unconditional self-love. 

• How does your practice make you stronger? My practice has challenged me to find strength in slowing down and holding space - in that space I can tune in, clear the clutter and find my breath.   

• When life happens and you can’t get to your mat, what helps you find steadiness? Music! Music inspires me and moves me physically and emotionally - pulling me into my present state.

• What is your advice to beginner yogis? Let go of day to day expectations.  Show up to your mat often and see where it can take you. 

• What is a mantra or intention that you frequently come back to in class? Gratitude. I am so grateful to have found something that has become more than just a hobby, but a huge part of my life. Each time I show up on my mat to practice or teach, I feel excitement and joy!
