Why Dena Loves Mantra Workouts
At Mantra Fitness, we are fortunate to have a community of dedicated and inspiring clients. This month, we are thrilled to share the testimony of Dena, who has been an integral part of our Mantra family. Dena has graciously agreed to share her journey with Mantra and how it has impacted her life.
Why Dena Started Pilates at Mantra
“I was 61 when I first started Mantra, almost 3 years ago. I had been doing other reformer classes for 5 years, but was seeking something different. A friend suggested Mantra and I was immediately hooked. Little did I know, this place would become a lifeline in ways I never imagined.”
Dena’s Journey
“A few months after joining, I was diagnosed with lung cancer. I went through surgery and then Chemotherapy. I never missed a class a day while I was going through treatment. I knew that my mind and body needed the strength of my practice more than ever. The support I received from my Mantra family was overwhelming. The love and encouragement from the instructors and fellow members touched my heart in ways I can’t express. It wasn’t just a place to work out…it was a community, a support system and a place of recovery. Mantra helped me through the most challenging time of my life.”
Favorite Mantra Exercises
“As far as my favorite exercise, it’s definitely super long and heavy legs.”
Advice for Newcomers
“If I could give any advice, it would be simple, just show up. The community in Sarasota is special! It’s a place where I can come improve my body, heal my mind and strengthen my spirit, all while having a lot of fun!”
