Finding Calm Amid the Chaos

A demanding job, long hours, and the inevitable stresses of life gets tough. For Elly, a dedicated student at Lab, yoga has become much more than just a workout.

Elly first stepped into Lab Studios on May 18, 2023, for Wilfred’s Flow & Stretch class, and she never looked back. “Wilfred’s class was everything I needed—a perfect mix of calm, challenge, and warmth,” she recalls. The connection she felt with the practice, paired with Wilfred’s welcoming energy, set the tone for her yoga journey.  

She was also drawn to Lab for another reason: familiarity. “A few instructors I knew from my previous gyms were teaching here, and it felt great to reconnect and support them,” she shares. But what keeps her coming back is the movement. “When I skip a class, my body lets me know—especially my back! Yoga feels less like a workout and more like an exploration of my inner strength and focus.”

Convenience plays a role too. Located within walking distance from her office, Lab offers Elly a mid-day escape during the post-lunch lull. “The 2:30 pm classes are my favorite—I don’t have to deal with crowds,” she says. Yet her commitment runs deeper. On days off, she makes her way to the studio simply because she loves being there.  

For Elly, the Lab community feels like home. “As an introvert, I was surprised by how easy it was to connect with teachers, students, and even the housekeeper. Everyone is kind, warm, and supportive.”  

Wilfred’s classes stand out for their thoughtfulness. From his signature scented candle to his ability to make both beginners and seasoned practitioners feel challenged and supported, his approach resonates deeply. In his words, “60 minutes to yourself and leave everything outside of the mat. This 60 minutes is for you and only you.”

This mantra has stuck with Elly, offering her a sense of calm and focus during even the most chaotic weeks. As the year comes to a close, we invite you to find your own sense of calm too. Join us for our last couple of classes before we say goodbye to 2024, and hello to 2025.
