Looking for a place where your body can open up and your mind can finally quiet down? We sat with Erica Joy, studio manager and instructor at Yoga Six Trinity, to explore how heat, breath, and community can transform more than your hamstrings. From the energy of a warm room to the calm of a cold lavender towel in Shavasana, Erica breaks down what makes this studio a refuge for beginners and seasoned athletes alike.

We get practical about class formats and why they matter: six core Yoga Six styles plus a new mobility modality designed to improve range of motion, joint health, and everyday movement. If you’ve wondered whether hot yoga is “too much,” you’ll hear how the set hot sequence builds confidence while a parallel warm option keeps intensity approachable. Restorative classes target tight hips, backs, and shoulders—the exact spots that lock up after long days at a desk—and help the nervous system reset so you sleep better and stress less.

Erica’s own path—from dance and cheer to barre and finally to yoga leadership—shows how movement can carry you through life’s hard turns. We talk openly about resilience, the fear of starting, and the power of a studio culture that celebrates personal pace and real progress. Teens 13 and up are welcome, modifications are encouraged, and the message is consistent: it’s your practice. Whether you’re lifting weights during the week or recovering from an injury, there’s a track that fits your goals without the ego.
