🎭 Warning: Your child may come home insisting they are a dragon.

Or a pirate.
Or an emotionally complex potato.
We make no guarantees. 😏

Our Kids Improv & Movement class is where imagination gets to run wild. Every week, kids jump into silly games, make up outrageous stories, become larger-than-life characters, and discover that confidence grows a whole lot faster when you're too busy laughing to worry about getting it "right."

The best part?

They don't even realize how much they're learning.

While they're pretending to be superheroes, talking trees, or detectives solving the Case of the Missing Sock...

They're building confidence.

They're learning to think on their feet.

They're practicing teamwork, communication, and creativity.

And yes...

They're shaking the absolute sillies out before they go home. (You're welcome. 😉)

This is a space where kids don't have to be the loudest, the funniest, or the "best" at anything. They just get to show up exactly as they are, knowing they'll be encouraged, included, and celebrated.

Because around here, imagination isn't just play.

It's how kids discover their voice.

✨ A Special Guest Class This Saturday at 10am ✨

Our usual Heated Flow with Jaime is taking a well-deserved break this weekend, and we have something really special in store.

Cheryle will be joining us as a guest instructor for a 90-minute Meditative Flow instead of our usual 60-minute heated class.

If you've been waiting for the perfect time to try yoga—or you've been craving a practice that feels slower, gentler, and deeply restorative—this is your sign.

With more than 20 years of experience teaching trauma-informed yoga and somatic healing practices, Cheryle has spent decades helping people across the country reconnect with their bodies in ways that feel safe, empowering, and healing.

Her work has had a special focus on veterans, survivors of trauma, and those living with CPTSD, but her classes are designed for everyone, regardless of experience.

This isn't about touching your toes.
It's about taking a deep breath.
It's about finding a little more ease.
It's about giving your nervous system permission to exhale.

Whether you're brand new to yoga or you've been practicing for years, Cheryle creates a space where every body is welcome and every person can move at their own pace.

💙 Come experience why we're so grateful to have her with us.

🔥 It's Wednesday.

You've answered approximately 7,492 emails.
You've sat in at least one meeting that absolutely could've been an email.
You've wondered what's for dinner at least three times.

And somehow... it's only Wednesday.

Sounds like it's time for Heated Flow. 😏

Join Heather every Wednesday at 6:30 PM for an hour dedicated entirely to you.

This is your chance to shake off the stress, move your body, break a sweat, and remind yourself that you're capable of hard things—even if those hard things include holding Warrior II for "just one more breath."

(Heather has a suspicious definition of "one more breath." 😂)

Expect a fun, energizing flow that builds strength, improves mobility, and leaves you feeling like you've hit the reset button before the second half of the week.

You'll walk in carrying the weight of your Wednesday.
You'll walk out wondering why you waited so long to move.

Come for the yoga. Stay because it's too hot to leave.

🧃 The Juice Box 🌈Wednesdays • 8:00–10:00 PM

Not every community space has to be loud.

Sometimes the best nights happen around a table covered in sketchbooks, crochet projects, card games, half-finished paintings, and conversations that somehow bounce between dinosaurs, deep feelings, and the meaning of life.

That's The Juice Box.

Created for our growing community of LGBTQ+ young adults (roughly ages 18–30), this space was designed so that the friendships built in our youth program didn't have to end when someone turned 18.

Instead...

They kept growing.

Today, The Juice Box has become a welcoming creative space where people come to make art, share ideas, laugh, decompress, and simply exist alongside people who get it.

✨ Bring your sketchbook.
🎨 Bring your knitting.
📚 Bring a book.
🎮 Bring a game.
💻 Bring your latest hyperfixation.
💜 Or just bring yourself.

Our space is intentionally neurodivergent-friendly, low-pressure, and inclusive. There are no icebreakers you have to survive, no pressure to be outgoing, and no expectation that you have to "fit in."

You already do.

Suggested donation: $5–10 if you're able. Every dollar helps us keep this space open, support local artists, and continue growing our LGBTQ+ Resource Center.

Because everyone deserves a place where they don't have to perform.

Sometimes you just need somewhere to be.

😜Well... Lindsey's at it again.

This time, she looked at a map of North Carolina and thought, "You know what? We should probably walk across that." 😅

With less than 100 days until the midterm elections, Operation Take Up Space is about so much more than putting one foot in front of the other. It's about reminding people that change doesn't happen because we wait for someone else to fix it—it happens when ordinary people decide to show up for one another.

If you've known Lindsey for more than two minutes, you know she has a hard time sitting on the sidelines when something matters. But perhaps more importantly, she believes leadership isn't about being the loudest person in the room—it's about creating space for others to discover their own voice.

That's exactly what Operation Take Up Space is all about.

This women veteran-led march—open to everyone—is a 300+ mile journey across North Carolina designed to demonstrate what ethical leadership, community, and people power look like in action.

The march begins during the September 11th anniversary weekend in Asheville and concludes on October 3rd in Wilmington. That same day, communities across the country will be invited to host their own local Take Up Space events as part of a nationwide day of action—showing that hope, courage, and community are contagious.

There are so many ways to help. You don't have to walk 300 miles to be part of this movement.

We're looking for people who want to:

Walk a few miles—or a few days—with us.
Drive a support vehicle.
Help coordinate meals and logistics.
Volunteer at one of our major community events.
Offer behind-the-scenes support before or during the march.
Use your unique skills to help bring this vision to life.

Our goal is to create as many on-ramps as possible because everyone has something valuable to contribute. Whether you have three weeks, three days, or three hours, there's a place for you.

The future isn't something that simply happens to us. It's something we build—together.

😍Sound Bath with Jarek 😍 Sunday, Aug 9th • 4:00 PM
✨ It's time to get gonged. ✨

(We promise that's a good thing.)

Have you ever wondered what it feels like to take the world's best nap...without actually falling asleep?

Or maybe you do fall asleep. Honestly, that's between you and the gong. 😴

Join us for an immersive Sound Bath with Jarek, where you'll simply get comfortable while the rich, resonant sounds of crystal bowls and gongs wash over you. No yoga poses. No flexibility required. No awkward icebreakers. Your only job is to show up and exist.

Here's how it works:
✨ Find a comfy spot on the floor (or settle into a chair)
✨ Get cozy with blankets and pillows
✨ Close your eyes
✨ Let the waves of sound do their thing

People often leave feeling deeply relaxed, clear-headed, surprisingly refreshed, or like they just took the best mental vacation without ever leaving Sanford.

Think of it as a spa day for your nervous system...except nobody is trying to sell you cucumber water afterward. 🥒😉

Bring your favorite blanket, pillow, eye mask, fuzzy socks, or anything that helps you nest.

🎶 No experience needed.
🎶 No meditation skills required.
🎶 No wrong way to do it.

Just come curious.

🎥 Breaking News: We've figured out how to clone Jody.*

(*Okay... not really. Technology isn't that good yet. 😏)

Jody is off in Colorado soaking up grandbaby snuggles (a completely acceptable reason to leave us for a few weeks), but that doesn't mean your Tuesday yoga routine has to take a vacation too.

Throughout August, we'll be livestreaming Jody's classes right into the studio!

That means you'll still get:

😂 The dad jokes.
💙 The laugh.
🧘 Thoughtful sequencing.
✨ The gentle encouragement you've come to love.

The only thing missing is the ability to give her a hug afterward... and honestly, she's probably getting plenty of those from her grandbaby anyway.

Whether you're joining her for Slow Flow on Tuesday mornings at 8:00 AM or Soul Flow on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 PM, you'll still be practicing with the same instructor, the same community, and the same intention.

It's just... from about 1,600 miles away. 😉

We're so grateful that technology lets us stay connected, and we can't wait to welcome Jody back to the studio in September.

Until then...

Colorado gets the hugs.
We get the yoga.
Seems like a fair trade. ❤️

See you Tuesday!

🤯Mondays have a way of showing up all at once.

The emails. The errands. The responsibilities. The feeling that you're already behind before the week has even begun.

🧐That's exactly why we believe Mondays deserve a plan for coming back to yourself.

Give yourself an ending. A place to clock out. A reminder that you've done enough for today.

This class begins with gentle, mindful movement to help shake off the weight of the day. As your body begins to soften, you'll settle into longer, supported holds that invite your nervous system to slow down, your breath to deepen, and your mind to become a little quieter.

You don't have to carry the whole week on Monday.

You just have to take the next breath.

Whether you've had the best Monday ever or one that completely knocked you sideways, this is your invitation to come home to yourself. We'll hold the space—you simply have to show up.

We know life is asking a lot of people right now, and it is truly an honor to be part of your self-care journey.

See you tonight.
