- Sometimes, we need to step "away" to come back home to ourselves. Join us for a Womens' Wellness Retreat with Hot Asana Founder, Virginia Gallagher and Dr. Jen Read who specializes in Functional Medicine and HRT. Mood swings, anxiety, depression, low energy, irritability, poor sleep cycle, or unexplained weight gain are just a few of the string of physiological and psychological changes a woman goes through as hormones change. This does not have to overwhelm you or take control of your life—you can make minor changes in your lifestyle—from movement to a more wholesome nutritious mineral-rich diet to getting your circadian rhythm in place to integrating mind and body practices like yoga and meditation into your daily routine.

We are all on our own personal journey. I would like to share a little bit about my yoga journey with you…
I attended my first Hot Yoga Class in this very studio on August 12, 2007 and fell in love with the mental and physical connection I felt. I began practicing 3 – 6 times a week, shed 40 pounds in 4 months, and was able to discontinue the use of all of my prescription medications. I began to feel healthier and stronger than ever. Convinced of the benefits of yoga, I continued my daily practice and began to deepen my dedication to and knowledge of yoga.
I began my teacher training in 2008 and since then have completed multiple 200 and 500 hour certifications, Yin Yoga training and Mindfulness Meditation Vipasana. My trainings have been diverse but my teaching style has been primarily influenced by Grace and MyLinda Morales, Jimmy Barkan, Rolf Gates, Chris & John Yax , Deepak Chopra, Bryan Kest and Paul Grilley. I fundamentally believe that anyone can change their body and their life. I believe we can in fact, grow younger and stronger. I would love to show you how Hot Asana can be a part of that change. It doesn’t matter when or in what condition you start…JUST START. Your best YOU may very well be yet to come.
