Meet Peggiann! She is a true gift to Firefly. Peggiann has been attending classes with us off and on almost since we opened! She is 74 years old and stays active with the help of Firefly!
We recently asked her to tell us about her experience and here is what she had to tell us!
“I started out slowly and stopped due to covid. Then I began again and have had times when I wasn’t able to attend due to my mother’s illness, family obligations, etc. I have always been welcomed back with open arms, encouragement, and enthusiasm by staff and fellow classmates. This made a world of difference to me. Now I am attending more regularly (unless I was in Spain!!) and find myself physically stronger, improvements in balance and self confidence, and an inner peace that is a gift.
When I traveled to Spain with a friend, I was able to walk up and down steep hills, had lots of energy and was able to deal successfully with my suitcase due to my improved physical strength. I am deeply grateful for my skilled, kind and encouraging instructors as well as the warmth of my classmates.
The instructors are very knowledgeable, attentive and supportive. Always!! These skills and human kindness make all the difference to me.
Shannon is amazing! Her Breathe and Flow classes have encouraged me to push myself farther than I thought I could have gone in just attending Gentle Yoga classes. Also, the Slow Flow classes with Michaela have been excellent for me. I also love the movement in Andrea and Serena’s classes when I attend. Kelly’s Holy Yoga is spiritually uplifting and the movement always excellent. I have been attending the evening classes a lot more lately because I enjoy the challenge, my classmates and the time of day.
I am physically much stronger and my balance has really improved. Still working on achieving Warrior 3 pose. I have much more energy and overall peace of mind.
What I appreciate most about Firefly is the skills and unconditional encouragement and acceptance of me. We all encourage and respect one another. I love the laughter as well.
Lots of gratitude for your calling, Kelly. It has changed my life for the better and continues to do so.”
We are so thankful for Peggiann at the studio. She always has a smile, stays positive and embodies what Firefly is all about. Make sure you say hi next time you see her at the studio!!
