YogaSix Stone Oak, owned and operated by Ted and Angela Glutz, is more than just a yoga studio—it's a sanctuary that embodies strength, resilience, and mindfulness. After each serving over two decades in the U.S. Army, the Glutzes transitioned into the wellness industry, driven by their belief that the discipline, focus, and mindfulness they honed in the military could benefit others in their own health and fitness journeys.
Rooted in a philosophy that goes beyond physical fitness, YogaSix Stone Oak is designed to cultivate a mind-body connection, focusing on wellness, community, and personal growth. Group classes play a significant role in fostering a sense of community, motivation, and accountability. The energy of a group setting creates an environment of shared purpose, where individuals can support one another, build relationships, and stay motivated. Instructors encourage participants to focus on their own progress, while also being mindful of the group’s collective energy.
The structure of group classes offers a unique opportunity for consistency. Knowing that a class is scheduled provides members with a sense of routine and accountability. The group dynamic can be a powerful motivator—when others show up, it reinforces the importance of prioritizing self-care. Additionally, members often stay connected outside of class through social media or text groups, creating a sense of community that extends beyond the studio walls.
The support within group yoga classes also helps students overcome common challenges such as self-doubt or lack of motivation. The non-judgmental, inclusive environment encourages individuals to show up as they are, and instructors make it clear that progress is personal and ongoing. This support system helps many members stick with their practice over time, building not just physical strength, but emotional resilience as well.
The community aspect of YogaSix is one of its most powerful features. Members often form lasting friendships, and the sense of belonging that comes from being part of a supportive group can be life-changing. By participating in events such as member appreciation days or community outreach initiatives, students develop deeper connections with one another, fostering an environment of mutual respect and encouragement.
YogaSix Stone Oak’s community-centric philosophy helps students break through the barriers that can sometimes make it hard to stay consistent with their practice. For instance, a student who was diagnosed with cancer found strength and emotional healing through the support of her yoga community. She used yoga to cope with the physical and emotional challenges of her treatment and went on to become a yoga teacher, inspired by the resilience and healing power of the practice.
Other students have shared stories of overcoming depression, anxiety, and trauma through the support they received in the group classes. One student, who struggled with depression for years, found that yoga not only helped her reconnect with her body but also empowered her to rediscover a sense of self-worth. These personal transformations show how yoga, especially in a group setting, can offer profound mental and emotional healing.
Students who practice regularly in a group environment often find themselves developing stronger habits of self-care and mindfulness. Yoga becomes a tool not just for physical fitness but for emotional well-being, helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with greater resilience.
The benefits of group yoga classes extend far beyond the studio walls. Many students report feeling more grounded, balanced, and centered in their daily lives, equipped with the mindfulness tools they need to manage stress, anxiety, and life’s uncertainties. Relationships with family, friends, and colleagues often improve as students integrate mindfulness into their interactions. The sense of community that begins in class often carries over into their personal lives, creating a ripple effect of positivity.
At YogaSix Stone Oak, the focus is on creating a space where every individual can grow—physically, mentally, and emotionally. The studio’s commitment to inclusivity, mindfulness, and community empowers students to take their yoga practice beyond the mat and into their daily lives. Through group classes, members not only improve their fitness but build connections, resilience, and a deeper sense of well-being. For anyone seeking to begin their yoga journey, or deepen their existing practice, YogaSix Stone Oak offers a supportive, welcoming environment to help them thrive.
