Hot Yoga Dunedin member Kate Ferguson shares her journey with hot yoga.<\/p>\n
After a nasty ankle break during volleyball, I had years of pain and wasn\u2019t able to play sports, or even go on walks.<\/p>\n
I decided to try hot yoga and I truly didn\u2019t know how transformative and life-changing that decision was.<\/p>\n
After my first session, I felt so much physical and emotional relief from finally being able to move my body again. Since then, the studio has become my second home.<\/p>\n
Being in an environment with such kind and knowledgeable teachers meant I could exercise in a way that suited my body, and made me completely fall in love with yoga.<\/p>\n
The teachers recognised my injury and always offered variations when I needed them, which made me feel supported and safe throughout my practice.<\/p>\n
After my second ankle reconstruction last year, getting back into the studio was a huge part of my recovery.<\/p>\n
Consistent practice, especially 26&2, helped me strengthen, build up my balance and actually see my progress.<\/p>\n
The poses are the same, but you change daily.<\/p>\n
Hot yoga has become my passion, my recovery, and my happy place. I\u2019m beyond grateful to find this community, I can\u2019t imagine my life without it!<\/p>\n
