You don’t have to be flexible. You don’t have to be strong. You don’t even have to plan on doing the whole class.

You just have to walk in.

Everything else — the strength, the confidence, the flexibility — that’s what happens after you start, not what you need before you do. The room doesn’t ask you to arrive ready. It asks you to arrive.

Here’s your chance. Invest $49, commit to yourself, and experience it for yourself 👉 https://bit.ly/4vSGLf7

Student Spotlight 🌺 Meet Chari Stevens, our September Student of the Month!

Chari started her journey a little over a year ago when her friend and neighbor LeaAnn invited her to a morning class — one session in, she was hooked. Since then? Fewer aches, more flexibility, and that unmistakable post-class glow she calls her "natural high."

Her advice for anyone just starting out: "I can't do it becomes let me try."

What's your "let me try" moment been like? Tell us below 👇

🌞 Our Team Sunshine is heading to Italy — and we need our commUNITY behind them.

This December, Team Sunshine competes at the World Championship in Marina di Camerota, representing the U.S. on the world stage. Getting a team of dedicated Yoga Asana Sport athletes across the ocean isn't cheap — flights, lodging, and registration add up fast for athletes funding this journey mostly on their own.

If HOTY has ever been part of your journey, here's a chance to be part of theirs. Every dollar helps send Team Sunshine to Worlds. Click the link below to donate to the GoFundMe directly and share to help spread the word!🙏🌺 USA Yoga Suzanne Elliott

And when you fall out, getting back in is your superpower. 🤙🏾

We get it, it’s a challenging posture with a lot going on. It’s okay to wobble. It’s okay to fall out. It’s okay to take a breath and try again. That’s not failure — that’s exactly what this pose is teaching you.

A few tips to help Standing Bow Pulling Pose (HOTY’s September Pose of the Month) feel less impossible: 🌙

🔹 Get fully aligned before you even start — knees in a line, chest lifted, shoulders back, stomach engaged,one arm stretched straight up to the ceiling with bicep back by ear.
🔹 Keep both hips level as you kick — don’t let one side twist open. Do that by engaging the quad and grounding firmly into the standing leg.
🔹 Focus on the kick first. Let the forward stretch follow once your leg is actually rising, not before.

Small adjustments, big difference.

🎉 Introducing USA Yoga's newest President: SUZANNE ELLIOTT 🎉

For over 25 years, Suzanne has been on the mat — training directly with Bikram & Rajashree Choudhury, and in 2006, founding HOT Yoga on the Island right here on the Space Coast. 20 years and 4,424 documented practices later (yes, we counted 📊), she's coached athletes to national and international podiums, built a school, and grown an 'Ohana.

Now she's stepping into a brand new chapter as President of USA Yoga.

"Keep showing up. Keep learning. Keep growing." — words she lives by, and the exact reason this next chapter fits her so well.

🎂 Happy Birthday, Suzanne (9/13)
💍 Happy 44th Anniversary, Suzanne & Joe (9/11)
