When breaking apart the words redefining yoga, re – again or anew, defining – clarify, or set forth the meaning of…, and yoga – you, at your highest potential, the answer is what the mission of Redefining Yoga and Pilates at 725 Roosevelt Trail, according to its owner Tracy Noyes. A new set forth the meaning of, or to clarify you at your highest potential.
“We embrace – strive to teach people to
move, nourish well, to think well, to try to be their highest best,” said
Noyes.
To many and to Noyes, yoga is more than
just an exercise plan. It’s a theory and philosophy of living life, she said. “It’s
a great balance.” Using Patanjali 8 Limbs of Yoga, which Noyes described as a
guideline to good ethical and moral behavior, Noyes guides her students during
the yoga sessions.
The studio opened in October of 2010.
Noyes who had been teaching at area gyms for more than 32 years found yoga, yet
where she was practicing wasn’t exactly right for her. “I had health issues of
my own. Yoga was hugely beneficial to control stress,” she said.
“We have a better atmosphere, better
experience, and we are more personal,” Noyes said of her space over Blossoms
flower shop. Class sizes are smaller and can even be one-on-one.
With smaller classes, we get to know our
students and get to help them where they want to be,” she said. “It’s a more
hands-on, personal experience.” She explained that one-on-one might be a good
option for someone who is hesitant about joining a class.
Redefining Yoga and Pilates offers yoga,
Pilates and Tai Chi as well as nutrition and life coaching. Classes range from
6 a.m. to early afternoon and night classes.
Walking into the space is “like walking
into your own home for most people. It’s much more personal, friendly,
welcoming, peaceful and calm. You put your baggage down for a while and let go
of stress,” Noyes said.
Yoga is a big trend, but really it’s a
lifelong practice. It’s never boring. It’s more than just practice, it’s a
lifestyle. Lifestyle changes work to transform your world, diets don’t work to
change your life, she added.
“We live in a really hectic world and
it’s a nice balance. We work hard, all of us. We all need balance, like taking
a long exhale,” she said.
The instructors are Theresa Labrecque –
