Leah’s Journey with Yoga Restore & Breathe at Welly
What first drew you to Yoga Restore, and why do you keep coming back?
I’ve always loved the calm and peace that comes from Restorative Yoga. When Welly started offering it, I was thrilled! I’ve now been attending Welly for 2.5 years - both in the Move & Groove program and Welly Restore, and I keep coming back because I always leave class feeling refreshed, grounded, and relaxed.
What would you say to someone nervous about starting? Give it a try! It’s a kind, welcoming space for all levels. No judgment—just support and good energy. You’ll leave feeling better than when you came in.
How do you feel during and after class? During class, I feel totally present—focused on my breath and the moment. It’s like time slows down. Afterward, I feel calm and light for the rest of the day.
Do you need to be flexible to start yoga? Not at all. Yoga Restore meets you where you are. With props, breathwork, and gentle movement, flexibility builds naturally over time.
What do you love most about Welly? The people. It feels like a group of friends coming together to care for ourselves. There’s warmth, support, and real connection.
How has the Welly community supported you? Welly keeps me motivated. I look forward to each class—it’s part of my routine and something I truly enjoy. The community makes it special.
Three words to describe Yoga Restore? Breathe. Surrender. Bliss.
