Today we’d like to introduce you to Heather Landers.
Hi Heather, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I opened the studio in June of 2017. As a previous marathon runner, I was looking for something to keep me healthy and focused. I started hot yoga to help with my training. I fell in love with the benefits of hot yoga which led me to get certified and later open my own business. My practice became my own therapy and it truly saved my life. I wanted to share my passion with my Lebanon community. I have been beyond blessed and thankful for everyone that has walked through these doors.
My degrees are in Business, marketing and accounting so I knew eventually I wanted to start my own business just wasn’t sure what that would look like… until 2017! We have recently moved into a larger space- providing more classes to include nonheated and gently heated options.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The past almost 9 years have been super rewarding. I would say the only struggle is trying to make everyone happy. I’m a people pleaser so it’s in my nature to be sure everyone has the tools the need to be successful in their practice. My team is a huge part of the success of HYL. They actually make it pretty simple to stay on task. Managing a group of women has its stressors, but we are a family and get it done.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
At HYL, we offer more than just yoga. We have HIIT cardio, core strengthening, weight training style classes, Pilates, BARRE, Kids yoga and more. Our main focus is yoga- but with everything combined we build stronger athletes mentally and physically.
Our new location is 4000 square feet
We provide full locker rooms and several amenities
Is there any advice you’d like to share with our readers who might just be starting out?
For anyone starting out, just show up! It’s intimidating to try something new but stepping outside our comfort zone is where change happens. Just come prepared with plenty of water and a fun open mind!! I promise- you’ll love it
