Gracefully Leading Trinidad into the Future by Antoinette Wharton
Hot Yoga on Main is a premiere yoga studio located in the heart of Trinidad on 134 W . Main Street . After being sought out by Jay Cimino to manage the Phil Long Toyota dealership , Lisa Camarillo uprooted her life in Albuquerque , New Mexico to make a new home in Trinidad . “ Jay Cimino didn ’ t want someone to just sell cars , he wanted someone to wrap their arms around the town ,” says Lisa as we discuss her business model .
Being an intricate part of any town takes getting involved with the community , and that ’ s exactly what Camarillo has accomplished in her three years of living in Trinidad . She opened Hot Yoga on Main on June 2nd , 2013 as she says she really missed practicing yoga and having a sauna . Both of which were lacking in the quaint town until she opened the business . Not only did the studio bring those two aspects , but its future is brighter than ever .
Hot Yoga on Main offers highly competitive monthly rates as well as traveling class passes with no expiration date for those who frequently visit the town . If you ’ re a local , your first class is free . There are a wide array of classes including their own brand of sacred hot yoga , family and youth yoga classes , as well as the ever-popular Yoga by the River on Saturday mornings in conjunction with the Farmer ’ s Market . Additionally , free tai chi classes are offered at the Senior Center . Many more classes and descriptions can be found by visiting their website : www . hotyogaonmain . com .
Darby Shier , a Trinidad native , in collaboration with studio manager Gina Ojeda and instructor Jessica McCorkle brought an innovative program called Lead Gracefully into the practices at Hot Yoga on Main . Initially , Shier produced the program to introduce yoga and meditation to the school system without the fear that can sometimes be associated with the art form . The program was designed to provide healthy and effective leaders within the community . Now , taking it a step further , Hot Yoga on Main has developed their own trademark of yoga teacher training evolving from two previous teacher trainings independent from their own studio . Incorporating also Shier ’ s leadership model , the Lead Gracefully Teacher Training is meant for anyone and everyone .
“ It ’ s not just about becoming certified to teach yoga ,” says Shier . “ More than yoga teachers , we just want more graceful leaders . Leaders with good www . HotYogaOnMain . com
communication skills , who are strong , healthy and have good relationships to create the community we really want .”
The aligning of mind , body and spirit should not be taken lightly . As communicated by both Camarillo and Shier , a healthy mind can create a productive , lessstressed environment .
