Sunstone and American Power Yoga: Changing Dallas Fitness

Blog· Entertainment

sunstone

Guest post by Ginni Beam, Sunstone FIT.

The joining of the two biggest yoga brands in North Texas—Sunstone, and American Power Yoga—has the Dallas yoga community abuzz. Sunstone has purchased APY, but both companies will be changing, bringing together the best they each have to offer. It’s big news for Dallas fitness!

Over the past twelve years, Sunstone has gone from a single Uptown yoga studio to the leading provider of affordable boutique fitness in Dallas, with thirteen Texas locations and plans to expand by several locations this coming year. Their success has been largely due to their dynamic classes, highly educated instructors, and accessibility (classes cater to all fitness levels).

Historically, Sunstone has only offered classes with a consistent sequence of postures or exercises. Every Fire class, for example, goes through the same 27 postures in the same order, holding each one for the same amount of time. This consistency has been a selling point, allowing students an easy way to track their progress and deepen their practice without worrying about what posture comes next. But some students want more variety than the current model offers. Others fear that Sunstone’s introduction of fitness classes (like hot Pilates, resistance stretching, and exercise classes using weighted balls) indicates a move away from their yoga roots. The fitness classes have been hugely popular, but students still want more yoga. This is where the APY acquisition comes in.

American Power Yoga instructors create their own class sequences, and no two are exactly alike. The APY methodology is the yoga go-to for the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, and is taught at the Mockingbird studio and through DVDs, online instruction, and television segments. APY’s Kurt Johnsen will work with Sunstone to design a “Teacher’s Choice” series based on the current APY method. This unscripted vinyasa power yoga class will then be launched in all Sunstone studios.

Says Sunstone CEO Brandon Hartsell, “[APY’s] experience will inform the training, content and launch of new yoga offerings for Sunstone. The American Power Yoga method approaches yoga in a way that Sunstone has yet to incorporate into our class offerings. The integration of this brand into Sunstone provides us a platform on which to share the APY approach to yoga. It answers the requests by our students to provide more yoga options, and does so through a tried and true method that we can really get behind.”

Kurt Johnsen agrees: “The marriage of our two brands is really a big deal. Our companies share a mission to share the tools found in yoga with as many people as possible. Through becoming a part of Sunstone, American Power Yoga has gained a means of offering our students more access to healthier, better lives.”

One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesse One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesses adapting and making things work! I was recently introduced to @savageburritos and I'm in love.  Savage Burritos is the love child of Uncle Julios so it you like UJ, you'll love Savage.  They are a delivery only service offering burritos and bowls from select Uncle Julio kitchens in DFW. We ordered a variety of items from burritos, bowls, queso and more. Every single item was bursting with flavor. If you like spicy,  I highly recommend the Nashville Hot Chicken Burrito. 🔥 Don't forget to add on a Margarita pop - nothing beats alcohol and Mexican food delivered straight to your door!

I know this year has dragged on and on for many pe I know this year has dragged on and on for many people but it has flown by to me. I'm 100% sure it has something to do with welcoming Myles into this world during the height of a pandemic and keeping a toddler alive at the same time.  I can't wait for Christmas morning to make memories with my little family (even though Christmas shopping isn't complete and I haven't even thought about wrapping presents). It will all fall in to place, it always does. We didn't attend our favorite Christmas events this year or get pictures with Santa so this random Santa picture will do and I'm 100% happy with it.  If this year has taught you anything,  let it be finding the joy in the little things ❤
The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Althoug The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Although things might be a bit different this season, we're still enjoying some of our favorite foods and traditions. This year we're incorporating ordering family meal kits from @chuysrestaurant for not only my family but extended family that we might not be able to hang with this holiday.  It's a simple way to spread the joy with loved ones, eat delicious food and not forget the reason for the season.  #ad #nachoaverageholiday
Family pictures are always so much fun.... this ye Family pictures are always so much fun.... this year we got to attempt it twice thanks to sweet Bryce.  Thankfully the second time around he cooperated. As painful as they may be,  I'm so glad we get these done every year. I love looking back at them and see how much we've all changed and how much the kids have grown!
Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We got our family pictures back and they look great other than the fact that Bryce decided not to participate. We got one shot with my entire family and Bryce is off to the side playing in poison ivy. 🤦‍♀️

I wanted to send a quick thank you for all the birthday love yesterday! Birthdays are not my favorite day but it was nice to hear from so many people. Here's to another year around the sun ❤
This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city r This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city ran completely by kids. Your child gets to fully immerse themselves into role playing any job they can imagine. From checking animals at the veterinarian, putting out fires as a firefighter,  flying planes in an simulator, creating their own personal logo with Bic, or being a weatherman at WFAA - the options are endless! Kidzania activities are for ages 4 and up.

We felt very comfortable inside with their safety protocols. Temperatures were checked before entering.  Everybody ages 4 and up must wear a mask.  Hand sanitizer was readily available throughout the entire space.  If you're looking for a fun outlet for your child to explore, check it out!
