“The ‘80s are a fun multi-generational theme that connects with everybody in a fun, let-loose way,” instructor Krista Colter said. “We’ve even added time to just dance and move the way your body wants to.”
While the ‘80s theme is a new twist, it’s not the first time the Beavercreek yoga studio has held a glow-in-the-dark practice. Previous events have been so well received that the Glowga sessions will likely become a regular offering at Day Yoga.
“We’re trying to offer lots of opportunities to get your foot in the door,” said Maggie Kiedrowski of Day Yoga. “What I love about our studio is that it’s accessible for everybody. It’s so important to move your body intentionally and this is such a fun way to do that.”
With Cyndi Lauper, The Go-Go’s and Bananarama on the playlist, it’s sure to be a party - one anyone can join.
“Some people think you need to be able to do a headstand to do yoga and that’s not the case,” Colter said. “Yoga can be completely restorative if that’s what you prefer.”
Or, in the case of Glowga, it can be a nostalgic night of fun.
“If you’re looking for something fun to do with your friends while also being active, this is it,” Kiedrowski said.
Practicing with blacklights also means no one will notice if your poses are less than perfect.
“And there are modifications offered if there is something that is too challenging,” Kiedrowski said.
Wearing white or neon colors is suggested but there will be glow-in-the-dark jewelry and body paint on hand for the finishing touches before you get your yoga on.
