There are so many beautiful spaces to practice in this city, each offering something of its own.

When Brittany and I reflect on what we do well at Unity—and what we want to keep cultivating—we keep coming back to something incredibly simple:

The breath.

There is something magical that happens when a room full of people begins to breathe together.

You can hear it.

The inhale of the person beside you.
The long exhale from somewhere across the room.
Then another. And another.

Until individual breaths begin to create something almost symphonic.

And somewhere inside that rhythm, the room changes.

We change.

Breath gives the nervous system another piece of information: you are here. You can soften. You do not have to remain braced for what comes next.

And when we practice together, we aren’t regulating in isolation. We are surrounded by other breathing bodies—creating opportunities for co-regulation, connection, and a gradual shift away from fight-or-flight toward rest, restoration, and greater nervous system flexibility.

This is something we want to keep bringing more deeply into the way we practice at Unity.

Not louder.
Not faster.
Not more complicated.

Sometimes the most profound thing happening in the room is simply the sound of everyone breathing together.

Arielle + Brittany are back at it again tomorrow. 🤍

When we first started dreaming about a 300-hour training, we kept coming back to one question: What would actually be useful?

Not just more information or another 300 hours to collect. We wanted to create the kind of space we would want to learn in now—one that explores what happens underneath the teaching.

How do we read and hold a room? How do we work with nervous systems, rest, repair, intuition, creativity, and ritual? How do we create something like Unwind—not by copying it, but by understanding what makes it work and learning to create something that is truly your own?

And then Brittany had one of my favorite ideas: What if you didn’t need a 200-hour to come?

Because this isn’t only about becoming a better yoga teacher. It’s about becoming a better space holder—and that work belongs to teachers, therapists, clinicians, healers, facilitators, and curious humans alike.

Tomorrow, we welcome five incredible humans into this nine-month journey with us.

We’ve dreamed about this one for a long time.

Welcome to the 300. Let’s see what we create together. 🤍

There is a moment when being a student begins to open into something else.

Not because you know enough.

Because you’re curious.

Our 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training is designed for curious humans ready to take their first steps into the seat of the teacher.

You’ll learn how to teach Level 1 + Level 2 vinyasa classes, with lots of time spent practice teaching, developing your own home practice, and beginning to find your voice.

Around that foundation, we open doors — into philosophy, subtle body, anatomy, meditation, breath, ethics, and the deeper landscape of yoga.

Think of the 200-hour as a menu: a chance to taste, explore, and discover what you might want to study more deeply for years to come.

You don’t need to know anything before you arrive.

That’s what the training is for.

Led by Sammy + Anne, who completed both their 200 + 300-hour trainings at Unity and are now stepping into the seat of teacher trainers themselves.

Curiosity is enough to begin.

Applications are open. Learn more through the link in bio. 🤍

Seven years of Unity.

Seven years ago, we opened the doors without knowing exactly what this place would become.

And maybe that’s the most beautiful part.

Because Unity has never really been something we built and then finished. It has grown through the people who have moved through it. Teachers and students. Friends and strangers who became friends. People who came for yoga and found something else entirely.

Over seven years, classes became trainings. Trainings became friendships. Friendships became collaborations. New ideas took root. People left and returned. The studio changed. We changed.

Somewhere along the way, I stopped thinking of Unity simply as a community and started thinking of it as an ecosystem — a living network of relationships, practices, teachers, students, ideas, and care.

And ecosystems are never static.

They grow.
They shed.
They adapt.
They surprise us.

Seven years later, Unity looks very different than I imagined it would when we began.

Thank God.

There is so much more life here now.

Thank you to every person who has practiced here, taught here, learned here, cried here, laughed here, taken a training, come on retreat, brought a friend, taken a chance on something weird, or simply walked through the doors and added yourself to this little ecology.

You helped make this place what it is.

Happy 7th birthday, Unity.

Here’s to whatever wants to grow next. 🌱

I opened an old box today.

Inside were concert tickets, backstage passes, after-show passes, stickers, handwritten setlists, autographs, old photographs—twenty-something years of tiny artifacts from a life I had almost forgotten I lived.

And I had this strange realization:

She was there the whole time.

We talk so much about becoming.

Becoming stronger.
Becoming wiser.
Becoming more ourselves.

But I wonder how much of healing isn’t becoming at all.

Maybe some of it is remembering.

Remembering what delighted us before we learned to be practical.
What made us curious before we became busy.
What we moved toward before we started organizing our lives around everyone else.

The things in that box weren’t particularly valuable. Old stickers. Paper wristbands. Ticket stubs from venues that probably don’t exist anymore.

But somehow I kept them.

And today they felt like breadcrumbs.

There I am.
There I am.
Oh—there I am too.

Not every version of ourselves needs to come with us.

But sometimes the parts we think we’ve lost haven’t actually gone anywhere.

They’ve just gotten quiet.

And sometimes healing looks less like creating a new self and more like making enough room for an old, beloved part of ourselves to come back into the room.

Maybe that’s part of practice, too.

Not always becoming.

Remembering.

A photo from Morocco because apparently the path to therapeutic yoga sometimes includes crossing an ocean. ✈️🌿

Our 300-Hour Therapeutic Yoga Training is for people who want to understand what happens when movement, breath, nervous system regulation, and the art of holding space begin talking to each other.

How do we use movement to create more capacity in the body?
How does breath support regulation without becoming another thing to “get right”?
How do we create conditions where healing might actually happen—without trying to force it?

This training lives in those questions.

And a little reminder: you do NOT need a 200-hour yoga teacher training to apply. You don’t need to arrive knowing all the things. That’s why we’re here. We teach you. 😉

Therapists, clinicians, yoga teachers, healthcare professionals, space-holders, curious humans—if you’re interested in the intersection of body, nervous system, movement, breath, and healing, there may be a seat here for you.

Our next 300-hour begins this September. We have a couple of spaces remaining, and applications close August 31.

Reach out. Ask us questions. Come talk to us.

We’d love to see if it’s the right fit. 🤍

R&R, but make it River Mountain. ✨

Rest. Reflection. A little movement. A lot of hanging out.

Time around the fire. Meals together. Yoga when it feels good. Glow-in-the-dark dance parties because apparently that counts as nervous system regulation too.

River Mountain is an invitation to step out of the rhythm of everyday life and tuck yourself away with us in the Appalachian Mountains for a few days.

Not to accomplish anything.

Not to become a better version of yourself.

Just to have enough space to hear yourself again — and enough community around you that you don’t have to do it alone.

Come rest. Come play. Come wander around outside. Come sit by the fire. Come dance in the dark with a bunch of glowing weirdos.

We’ll meet you in the mountains. 🏕️✨

Registration for River Mountain closes September 22.

I was chatting with a student after class recently—catching them up on my life, hearing about school and everything unfolding in theirs.

And somewhere in the conversation, I heard myself talking about the studio differently.

We talk a lot about Unity as a place where you can come as you are. A place to land. To move. To breathe. To be held by something larger than yourself.

But I realized: it’s that place for me, too.

This last year has asked a lot of me. And through all of it, I’ve gotten to keep walking through these doors and showing up more and more as myself.

Not just as the person who owns the studio.
Not just as the teacher or therapist or person holding the container.

As me.

This space and this community have witnessed me changing, grieving, laughing, creating, figuring things out, and becoming.

And they’ve made room for all of it.

I think sometimes when you build the refuge, you forget that you’re allowed to take refuge there, too.

So yes—

The studio is your happy place.
The studio is my happy place, too.

And what a beautiful thing we’ve made for each other. 🤍

There is something deeply restorative about stepping outside the rhythm of everyday life for a little while.

This weekend was time spent learning, practicing, laughing, resting, and being in community with Yoli, Ruthann, and a beautiful group of humans — some familiar, some newly becoming friends.

And maybe that’s part of what refuge is.

Not an escape from our lives, but a place we can step into long enough to hear ourselves again.

Retreat gives us a little distance from the constant movement of work, family, responsibilities, phones, schedules, and all the tiny things asking for our attention. It gives the nervous system a little more space. It lets us notice how we move through a room, how we relate to one another, what we’re carrying, and what perhaps doesn’t need to come home with us.

Sometimes recalibration happens through profound teachings.

Sometimes it happens while sitting around talking.

Sometimes over a meal, walking somewhere together, helping clean up, making a new friend, or simply having enough time that nobody needs to rush toward the next thing.

We talk a lot at Unity about practice, but practice also needs refuge. Space away. Time to integrate. Places where we can soften our grip on ordinary life for a moment and return to it a little differently.

Very grateful for the teachers, friendships, laughter, spaciousness, and refuge of this weekend.

And grateful to come home carrying a little less — and noticing a little more.

The Appalachians do not ask you to become someone new.

They simply invite you to remember who you are.

To wake to cool mountain air and hear laughter drifting through the trees as you wander toward breakfast. To move your body beneath some of the oldest mountains on Earth. To rest in a hammock without needing to earn it. To be serenaded by singing bowls as the day softens around you. To gather in the evenings where devotion feels less like striving and more like coming home to yourself.

We created River Mountain for the people who spend so much of their lives holding everyone else.

The caregivers.
The helpers.
The ones who are always thinking three steps ahead.

For one long weekend, you don’t have to be the one carrying it all.

You simply have to arrive.

There is something about these ancient ridgelines. They have watched generations come and go, and still they whisper the same invitation:

Come. Rest. Belong.

This is River Mountain.

A weekend of movement, nature, community, celebration, and remembering that healing doesn’t always happen through doing. Sometimes it happens because you finally feel safe enough to simply be.

🍂 October 22–25
🌿 Registration is open now and closes September 22.

The mountains have been waiting.

We hope you’ll let them welcome you.
