Student Challenge: The Kenny!

Meet Kenny, an Ompractice veteran of 6 years with 1,100+ classes! Take on "The Kenny" challenge this September: complete 3 specific classes (or 3 of the same) to conquer this power yoga enthusiast's feat. Join us in celebrating Kenny! We asked Kenny to recommend his three favorite classes and explain why he loves them. Here's what he had to say: Lisa Rischitelli's Power Yoga Classes (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday) Kenny finds Lisa to be an exceptional sequencer. He says, "For me Yoga is about cadence and consistency. Lisa is one of the best sequencers I've ever practiced with. She is very skilled at mixing it up enough to keep it always fresh." This variety in Lisa's classes helps Kenny maintain his enthusiasm and engagement in his practice, ensuring that each session feels new and invigorating. Dannika's "Yoga for Grace - Slow Flow" For Kenny, Dannika's class offers a holistic yoga experience that engages both mind and body. He explains, "Dannika is my go-to teacher for the full mind/body yoga experience. Grace here is not 'low' effort or intensity. Instead it's a way of quieting the mind and paying more careful attention to the movements." This class seems to offer Kenny a chance to cultivate mindfulness and body awareness, emphasizing the meditative aspects of yoga alongside the physical practice. Dawn's "Vinyasa Yoga" Kenny values the extended format of Dawn's 75-minute class, which allows for a more expansive and unhurried practice. He shares, "Dawn uses her 75 minutes to artfully build the sequences over an extended period of time. I never feel that the extended class is too long, and it's nice to have the luxury on the weekends to not rush on to the rest of the day." This longer session provides Kenny with the opportunity to delve deeper into his practice, enjoying a more comprehensive yoga experience without feeling rushed. His comments also underscore the importance of finding the right instructor and class style to maintain a long-term, engaging yoga practice. Kenny's enthusiasm for these classes demonstrates how a well-rounded yoga routine can incorporate different elements - from high-energy power yoga to more introspective, slower-paced sessions. For Ompractice students looking to diversify their practice or find new favorite classes, Kenny's recommendations provide a great starting point. Each of these classes offers a unique approach to yoga, catering to different needs and preferences within the practice. We are so excited for you to try The Kenny! And if you are looking for a challenge that's meets the other side of the energetic coin, why not try The Marybeth!
