OneFirelight instructor, Erika, taught a restorative yoga class for the students of Figure Skating in Harlem as part of our commitment to community engagement. The girls were ready to stretch and recover after a weekend of performing in their “Girls Glide Globally” ice show the weekend before. While for some students it was their first time trying a yoga class, others were excited to have the chance to try some new poses. Bob Marley’s uplifting songs echoed through the speakers and some participants even sang along. The girls were happy to have an opportunity to recenter their minds and stretch their bodies in celebration of their successful weekend.
Another OneFirelight instructor, Meredith, was able to interview a few of the girls after the class and they shared their thoughts. One student remarked, “I just love yoga so I’m going to say this one is a ten out of ten, I loved it.” Their smiles were infectious and a few of them gave Erika a big hug as they went to the rink to practice.
