YogaSix is opening this month at The Galleria. The name is derived from the six types of yoga
classes offered at the studio, including Vinyasa, slow-paced beginner classes, hot yoga and more.

[NEW BUSINESS]
Yoga Six
Thanks to the newfound popularity of online
yoga channels like Yoga with Adriene, more
people than ever are becoming amateur
yogis. Luckily for them, making the leap from
at-home workouts to a full-service brick-and-
mortar yoga studio will be easier than ever,
now that YogaSix is opening in The Galleria.

“You don’t need to be a yoga expert to
come in to YogaSix and be successful. It kind
of takes away the things that might make
people feel nervous about stepping into a
studio for the first time,” says Jarrid Danburg.

He and his wife, Krissy, own the business and
hope to open by the end of the month.

“Our instructors are taught a specific
methodology about how to cue movement
throughout the class,” says Jarrid. “Instead
of mentioning what the name of the posture
is, they will talk about how to breathe, what
body parts should move, and then the final
part is about what the posture is.”
The name YogaSix refers to their six core
classes, which range in intensity and heat.

Y6 101 is a slow-paced, beginner course at
a lower temperature. Y6 Slow is a Vinyasa-
based class, where postures are held for
a bit longer. Y6 Restore occurs very low to
the ground and is designed to be more
energizing. Y6 Sculpt & Flow includes weight
training and cardio. Y6 Hot is a detoxing class,
with temperatures between 100 and 105
degrees. Y6 Power is the most intense class,
also conducted in heat, and is Vinyasa-based,
full-body workout. Each of these classes
will be available to members who enroll on
a subscription basis, but walk-ins are also
welcome. The studio has multiple classrooms, set
to different temperatures. The floors in each
space are cushioned, and classes will have
dynamic lighting and music to encourage
people to focus on themselves for the duration
of the class. Normally, YogaSix would offer all
of the essentials necessary to take a class,
including mats, towels, filtered water, but due
to the pandemic, they will ask people to bring
their own supplies. Some will be available for
purchase in their on-site store.

The Danburgs live in Peters Township
with their three children, and they chose the
Galleria location because of its proximity to
many South Hills communities. “We’ve talked
about going into business together for a long
time,” says Krissy. “We wanted something
that would ingrain us in the South Hills
community, while creating a positive impact.

It also gives us the ability to show our kids that
we were able to build something through
hard work.”
YogaSix and ClubPilates, which is also
located in The Galleria, are operated by the
same parent company, Xponential Fitness.

Sense & sustainability
In the United States, almost 29 percent of
all greenhouse gas emissions come from
cars, SUVs and light trucks, contributing
to our poor air quality and increasing
climate change. It would be great if we
could walk or bike everywhere to elimi-
nate our environmental impact, but that
is not always realistic. Even though we
may not be able to abandon our cars, we
can make decisions around car type, car
maintenance and driving style, that can
reduce our impact.

• Plan your trips Avoid unnecessary
miles by planning your trips to avoid
multiple trips or backtracking.

• Keep calm Quick acceleration and
hard braking can reduce your fuel
economy and cause more wear on
your car.

• Keep up with maintenance Keeping
your tires properly inflated and per-
forming routine maintenance, like oil
and filter changes, can increase fuel
efficiency and prolong the life of your
car. • Carpool When the pandemic cools
down, riding with just one other per-
son headed to the same place reduc-
es your greenhouse gas emissions
and cuts fuel costs in half.

• Go Green When you are ready to
purchase a vehicle, choose a fuel-ef-
ficient car or even better, purchase a
hybrid, plug-in hybrid or electric ve-
hicle. • Wash Clean Avoid letting the waste-
water enter the storm sewers when
washing your car, as the storm sewers
lead directly to our waterways. You
can do this by taking your car to a car
wash, where the wastewater will enter
the sewage treatment system. If you
choose to wash your car at home, use
eco-friendly, biodegradable soap,
and ensure that the wastewater will
flow into the grass or soil and not run
into the storm sewers.
