“If I’ve had a rough morning or I’m distracted, I’ll go to a 70 minute class and it’s basically a moving meditation. The benefits are far too many.” - Cat Crawford Owner, 502 Power Yoga 22 • Jan/Feb 2020 • Southern Indiana Living
it’s basically a moving meditation,” she said. “The benefits are far too many.” After Smith moved to South Carolina in 2017, Crawford became the full owner of the studio. She opened a second location in Jeffersonville in 2017. One side effect of this studio has been the network of community and support that has been built. Crawford said she loves the connection that’s been fostered. “It happened organically,” she said. “Our teachers are vulnerable and raw in their teaching and their hands-on assisting. It’s just naturally breaking down barriers and building this community.” She said friendships and partnerships have evolved from people who have met in the studio. “The teacher demonstrates messy,” Crawford said. “It gives permission to the students to be themselves.” Crawford herself said she’s not sure what she would do without yoga. She hears that from others who come in and out of the studio as well. “I can feel when stress is physically stuck in my body. It works it out.” Each location also has a shop for merchandise that has been specifically created for the students. They sell yoga mats, sweatshirts, towels and more. On top of all of that, they also offer yoga instructor certification. Crawford said those trainings usually begin in November, with students graduating in May. If you’re new to yoga, Crawford suggests you consider the Introduction to Power Yoga series. This series will be held at the Jeffersonville location in January. The series takes place on four Mondays and it covers the absolute basics of yoga, from poses to proper attire and breathing. “It’s great if you’re brand new or if you’re coming from a different type of yoga practice,” Crawford said. The studio encourages feedback as it regularly gives students opportunities to rate their classes and provide suggestions. The students also are the ones who really connect and create the community piece. Crawford said two students who met in a class are getting married this year. “I would love to develop more little community studios,” she said. “But there are limited resources and staff right now.” Regardless, Crawford opened a third location in October at the corner of Rudy Lane and Brownsboro Road in Louisville. All locations offer an Intro to Power Yoga package, for new students only. It includes 40 days of unlimited classes for $40, and it allows students to get a feel for what they’re doing and what kind of classes they like. “Yoga just makes me a happy person,” Crawford said. “It’s a great release for all the things we as humans like to hold onto.” Crawford likes to say “the issues are in your tissues.” These words to live by align perfectly with the business’ goal to “empower people to transform their bodies, minds, lives, and communities one breath and one pose at a time.” • Visit 502poweryoga.com to register for the January Introduction to Power Yoga series or any other classes.
