Mind, body, spirit \u2014 the pillars senior Carlie Sobol said NoomaLIFE<\/a> prioritizes in their fitness studio.<\/p>\n

According to Noomalife.com<\/a>, Nooma is a \u201cmind-body\u201d experience studio, seeking to help customers create a healthy lifestyle by connecting them to their own minds, bodies and spirits through various workouts.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have an interesting role because I teach their hot yoga on Wednesday nights, but I\u2019m also doing sort of an internship, and I\u2019m working with them to help on the business side,\u201d Sobol said.<\/p>\n

Sobol, a management major, has been a certified yoga instructor since summer 2017. She teaches a hot-yoga class at Nooma, works at the front desk and helps with their business and marketing plans, along with being active in her social club and a full-time student. She attributes her time-management skills to her type-A personality and her background in balancing school and dance throughout high school.<\/p>\n

When it comes to teaching her peers and classmates, Sobol said that it is good to see both people she knows and meet new people through Nooma.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s fun because I get mostly students, and I know them. \u2026 I can relate to them \u2014 I feel like I\u2019m a better teacher to those I can relate,\u201d Sobol said.<\/p>\n

The summer after her sophomore year, senior Allie Lowe became certified in group fitness and began attending Nooma as a student. Lowe said one of the owners of Nooma, Casey Cox, pushed her to become more confident in herself and to start teaching at Nooma.<\/p>\n

\u201cNooma is where I go to relieve stress, so it\u2019s not a sacrifice for me, it\u2019s a treat. I have to remind myself that it\u2019s something I need for my body and my mind,\u201d Lowe said.<\/p>\n

Lowe teaches a low-impact heated workout class at Nooma in the evenings. Because her class is in the evening, many Harding students attend.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of people who I met through Nooma that are my age and that I go to school with who I didn’t know otherwise, so it\u2019s cool to be able to connect with peers in that way,\u201d Lowe said.<\/p>\n

Senior Kailey Thornton has attended various Nooma classes since last September with both student instructors and full-time instructors.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith a student instructor, there\u2019s definitely an excited energy because you\u2019re excited to see what they will do,\u201d Thornton said. \u201cIt\u2019s like she\u2019s on my team. She\u2019s one of us and that sets it apart from other classes.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
