Turns out the people who may benefit most from creatine aren't bodybuilders. They're women over 50.

Check out this podcast from The Dr. Josh Axe Show that does a way better job then me explaining why!

I love Christy Wynne | STL Creatine, it's women owned, local to St. Louis, and really high quality. Which is why we sell it in our boutique.

Do you take creatine daily? Has it made a difference for you?

🌊 August is all about flowing! And we have so much going on to support this theme, that we couldn't fit all the events on one page. So be sure to scroll through to see them all.

In yoga, flow isn't just about moving from one pose to the next. It's about learning how to with life instead of against it. To bend when things get hard instead of bracing against them. To trust that even when you can't control what's happening around you, you can control how you move through it.

That's the energy we're bringing to the studio this month. Whether you're on your mat, working through a vinyasa or just trying to get through a hard day off your map, the same wisdom applies: resistance creates suffering, flow creates ease!

Come flow with us throughout August! Swipe to see what's coming, and make sure you register fast because these things are filling up quickly.

See you on your mats!

Everyone loves a good series and we got one starting this Friday!

Join Betty Green for this 3-week Friday night series where Betty will blend traditional yoga with some Pilates inspired strength movements using light weights, Pilates balls and resistance bands to build functional strength from the ground up.

Every week you'll focus on a different region of the body, so nothing gets overlooked!

There are only a couple spots in the first week, this Friday, 8/7, so grab one before they're all gone! You don't have to come every week if you can't make them all. But sign up for the ones you can so you make sure to have a spot!

Let's flow to grow together! I see you on your mats!

"Help! This summer has been so busy that my yoga practice is suffering!!"

You're not alone. This happens a lot during this time of year. Take some time to reflect and recommit to your practice. Start small so that it doesn't get overwhelming!

2️⃣ Pick just two classes a week to commit to, trying to do five or seven or come everyday. Can get really overwhelming.

🗓️ Put them on your calendar like they're important meetings, because they are.

🛍️ Stack them around other errands so that you don't feel like you have to leave the house too many times!

👯 Find a yogi bestie to help you stay accountable!

Hope these help! What is your trick to keeping yourself on track?? Tag your yoga bestie , and share your tips in the comments so we can all learn from each other!

Happy International Self-Care Day!!

Community. Clarity. Growth. Those aren't just the values that we live by. They're what we're building in our sacred studio space.

Caring for the studio and preparing the room for classes is part of the practice, not separate from it. Yoga has always held on to this idea that a room absorbs whatever happens inside of it, every practice, every deep breath, everyday someone showed up even when they didn't feel like it. That kind of energy builds slowly, over time, in a room that's held for this again and again.

That's the difference a studio practice makes. It's not just a room where yoga happens for 1 hour. It's a container built around one thing, so the practice actually has somewhere to go, so the philosophy you hear on your mat about steadiness, about showing up for yourself, about finding clarity when life feels like too much, has a real chance to follow you out the door.

It's what happens when people keep coming back to this same sacred space, held by the same intention, week after week.

So tell us, what's one thing that makes this space feel sacred to you? 👇🏼

As promised...a longer post on HRV. Here are 5 ways to raise your HRV.

A quick refresher on what that actually is. HRV stands for heart rate variability, the natural variation in time between your heartbeats. It sounds like a flaw, but it's the opposite. That variability means your nervous system can adapt, shifting smoothly between effort and rest.

Research links higher HRV with better sleep, lower inflammation, a healthier heart, and more resilience to stress. Chronic stress drives it down. So can the hormonal changes of midlife, which is why so many of us see lower numbers on our wearables right when life is asking the most of us.

The good news? HRV is trainable, and every one of these five practices lives on our schedule:

🫁Long exhales and steady breath? Any of our flow classes, where breath leads the movement.
💤Deep rest and better sleep? Yoga for Stress & Anxiety and Moving Into Stillness were made for this.
🧘🏽Meditation? Try Sunrise Flow with the optional meditation, or join us for our monthly Donation-Based Meditation & Mantra.
👯Community? That one happens the moment you walk in the door.

👇Tell us in the comments...are you using a wearable? Which one: Whoop, Oura, Apple, Garmin. Do you pay attention to HRV?

Calling all yoga teachers... This one's for you.

If restorative yoga is part of what you teach (or you want it to be?), this workshop is definitely one you want to make time for.

Cindy Kostecki has spent a decade studying and teaching restorative yoga, pranayama, and meditation, including doing training under Judith Hanson Lasater. If that name doesn't ring a bell, she's the one who brought restorative yoga to the west and literally wrote several books on it. Learning this practice from someone trained in that lineage is a completely different experience. The attention to detail, the why behind every prop placement, the presents it takes to actually hold space for someone else's rest.. That's what you will gain from this training.

Over 10 hours together, you'll dig into:

⭐ The philosophy and foundational principles behind restorative yoga
⭐ Nervous system regulation in the physiology of rest
⭐ Prop use, prop setup, and sequencing for different bodies and needs
⭐ Breath, language, and presence in guiding students into deep relaxation
⭐ Adapting your practice for different populations and formats
⭐ Hands-on teaching practice with real feedback

You'll practice, you'll teach, and you'll leave with the confidence to create the kind of nurturing space your students need and are craving.

Open to all yoga teachers, or even teachers in training. Certified yoga teachers with yoga alliance will receive 10 ceu credits. You'll also receive $10 off the Friday night restorative workshop that Cindy is holding so that you can experience the magic before you learn to teach it!

⌚Your body keeps score of how well you recover from stress. It's called HRV, and yoga has been raising HRV for thousands of years, long before anyone wore a device to measure it.

Check out this podcast from Mark Hyman, M.D. , to learn more about HRV, why it's important, and how yoga at the studio is helping us raise ours!!! (Hint... Raising HRV is a good thing!)

Comment below if you're using a wearable to track your recovery and if you pay attention to your HRV! I'm genuinely curious!

Watch this week for a detailed post about HRV and why yoga is important to it.

When was the last time you let yourself fully exhale? Not the quick sigh between tasks. The real one, where your shoulders drop and something in you softens and releases.

This month we're exploring what it means to thrive instead of just get through. It starts with the breath.
