The pandemic forced WellnessLiving to pivot from in-person CEO Tours to connecting online with our customers. Len is still doing what he loves, learning how our customers leverage our software to grow their businesses, only now he\u2019s doing it virtually<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Join Len as he meets owner and instructor of Heart and Light Yoga<\/a>, Dawn Staudt, from Nashville, Tennessee. On this leg of the tour, discover how she got through the pandemic with our all-in-one features and \u201cphenomenal customer service,\u201d plus her unwavering resolve for pushing forward through adversity.<\/p>\n

Meet Dawn Staudt, owner and instructor of Heart and Light Yoga<\/strong><\/h2>\n

First-time business owner, Dawn Staudt, had some obstacles to overcome when she first opened Heart and Light Yoga. After finding the perfect location for her yoga studio, her city was hit with a tornado, which delayed her grand opening. She was able to officially open on June 1, 2020, which was right in the middle of the pandemic, but had to keep the studio temporarily closed.<\/p>\n

Thanks to WellnessLiving\u2019s all-in-one software and her unwavering resilience, Dawn was able to pivot online by offering Zoom virtual classes until she could reopen again.<\/p>\n

She is passionate about teaching yoga, breathwork, and meditating. In fact, the name for Heart and Light Yoga came to her while she was doing a meditation workshop! \u201cThe name felt like it was my Dharma (her truth),\u201d says Dawn.<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span><\/span>Our systems are so overwhelmed with stress, uncertainty, anger and division, and so now more than ever people <\/span><\/span>need <\/span><\/span>yoga!<\/span><\/span> ~ Dawn Staudt<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dawn is dedicated to providing a safe and welcoming environment for her students at Heart and Light Yoga. She is an avid nature and animal lover who meets her clients \u201cwhere they are,\u201d holding space for them so that they can step into their own greatness. Post pandemic, Dawn emphasizes the ethos of \u201cslowing down,\u201d by offering more Yin classes to her clients\u2014a form of restorative yoga.<\/p>\n

Yin <\/strong>is a slow-paced style of yoga with a focus on your muscles. Yin yoga targets your deep connective tissues. The slower, more meditative movements give you time to focus inward, so you can tune in to your mind and the physical sensations of your body. Poses are held for a longer period of time than traditional yoga, helping to stretch those rarely used tissues.<\/p>\n

Heart and Light Yoga classes include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Yin Yoga<\/li>\n
  • Vinyasa Yoga<\/li>\n
  • Power Yoga<\/li>\n
  • Breathwork<\/li>\n
  • Meditation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    In addition to classes, Heart and Light Yoga offers engaging workshop events. Dawn is hosting a Vision Board Workshop<\/a> on Friday, January 7, 2022.<\/p>\n

    \u201cMy WHY has always been to support the community and everybody, meaning every BODY<\/strong> is welcomed,\u201d says Dawn. \u201cIf I just have one student who leaves here feeling better, then I have achieved my goal.”<\/p>\n
