Yoga Student of the Month - July

I wanted to share my joy in being named Yoga Student of the Month for Columbia's Sumit Hot Yoga.  I love my home practice and am a proud emissary of their services.   Below is my bio I submitted.  Boy is it fun to write about yourself in third person and sing on your praises.  Thought I would share it with you all.  

Laura Flacks Narrol has been doing Sumit Hot Yoga since December.  She is the Mother of two young boys, 6 and 10.  She is also a Faculty Member at Stephens College in the School of Strategic Communication.  She is originally from Toronto Canada, although she has lived in Columbia Missouri for 17 years.

Laura has struggled with weight throughout her life with little success until she found Sumit Hot Yoga.  In her Mid 40's she felt out of control and in a the negative progress of failing physical form and lack of strength.   She first started taking classes on the recommendation of a student and found that the practice was perfect to jump started her metabolism and worked on a low impact basis she needed.  She started taking one class a week and gradually worked her way into a successful 30 day challenge.   She can now be found in classes most days of a week making hot yoga a priority in her life.  .

The journey through hot yoga has inspired Laura to start a blog about that journey to health and fitness.  The blog can be found at www.distruntledfeminist.blogspot.com and is a journey through both soul and body as the true transformational power of yoga is felt.  Laura discusses changes she feels in her body as well as realizations found on the mat, as Hot Yoga heals.  She also reviews other hot yoga locations as she goes on road trips to other cities and countries.  A new passion has been born.

Over the last 6 months Laura has lost weight, inches, inhibitions, and self doubt. She has also gained health, fitness, confidence, balance, flexibility and understanding.  Laura shares all these triumphs through her blog in the hope of encouraging others to find the healing power of hot yoga.
