At Protea Movement Studio, we believe movement is more than exercise. It’s a way to reconnect with yourself, release stress, build strength, and create balance in everyday life.

Whether you’re flowing through vinyasa, finding stillness in yin, building heat in hot pilates, or simply taking a deep breath before starting a Barre class, movement matters. 💚

Come as you are.
Move at your own pace.
Find what feels good in your body. ✨

🌿 Movement can be many things 🌿

✨ Movement as accomplishment:
Celebrating what your body can do.

✨ Movement as play:
Exploring curiosity and freedom through movement.

✨ Movement as joy:
Feeling energized, grounded, and fully present.

✨ Movement as purpose:
Showing up for yourself with intention and care.

At Protea Movement Studio, movement isn’t about perfection. Instead, it’s about connection to your body, your breath, your community, and your life. 💚
Because Movement is Medicine.

Meet Jamie, our amazing Studio Manager and one of the welcoming faces who helps make Protea Movement Studio feel like home. 💚

🧘‍♀️ Favorite Pose: Standing Forward Fold

💬 Favorite Quote: “Yoga teaches us to cure what need not be endured and endure what cannot be cured.”

🌿 Fun Fact: Movement helps reduce inflammation and boosts your mood — another reason we believe Movement is Medicine.

😂 Favorite Funny Studio Moment:
During a Mother’s Day Flow class with her family, Jamie’s daughter completed a challenging pose and got a high five from instructor Nancy. After class, Jamie’s husband admitted he thought the high five was for him…but Nancy was celebrating their daughter. 😊

💚 Favorite Part of Being at Protea:
“The team is welcoming and accepting. Everyone shows up for each other and supports each person who walks into the studio. As a new team member, I’ve felt such a genuine connection to this community.”

We’re grateful for Jamie and the positive energy she brings to the studio every day. ✨

In our yoga program at Protea Movement, movement goes beyond a workout. These classes help to release what you’re holding, to build strength from within, and to create space for clarity and calm.

It’s how we process.
It’s how we reset.
It’s how we show up more fully in our lives.

And when we move together, something even more powerful happens. To our breath, our bodies, and the community around us. We come for the work and leave feeling better. Calm, centered, accomplished, and more complete.

Come experience movement in yoga to discover how it supports your whole self and fuels your life.

Look for Steady (Warm Slower Flow), Swift (Heated Faster Flow) and Settle (Yin Flow) in the schedule.

Your medicine on the mat awaits. 🙏

One of the biggest misconceptions about yoga is that you need to be naturally flexible to begin.

You don’t.

Yoga is not about performance.
It’s not about looking perfect.
It’s not about competing with anyone else in the room.

It’s about focus.
Breath.
Awareness.
Consistency.

Sometimes slowing down is actually where growth happens.

When you take your time setting up a pose…
when you slow your breathing…
when you quiet the noise around you…

your body responds differently.

At Protea Movement Studio, the goal is not perfection.
The goal is connection.

✨ alignment over performance
✨ breath over pressure
✨ consistency over intensity

And the truth is:
Showing up on your mat is the hardest part.
Everything else follows from there.

Movement is modification. No matter where you are in your story, there is a place for you.

We all come to fitness from different life stories, situations, lifestyles, etc.

Modifications in exercises/poses allow us to 1) find an accessible place to start, 2) feel empowered as we work, 3) receive feedback from the body as we get stronger, 4) celebrate our progress.

In every class we guide, we encourage you to find the sweet spot between effort and ease, challenge and attainability, modifying and working towards.

All stories, bodies, and students are welcome here.

So many people think yoga is about flexibility or performance.

It’s not.

Yoga is about learning how to slow down enough to actually hear yourself again.

Yulia Ray shares how yoga helped her through stress, transition, and internal challenges after moving to the United States — and how that experience shaped the way she teaches today.

At Protea Movement Studio, classes are designed to feel approachable, grounding, and inclusive.

Less competition.
Less pressure.
More breath.
More awareness.
More connection.

In her classes, the focus is:
✨ alignment over performance
✨ cadence over speed
✨ presence over perfection

You do not need to be flexible to start yoga.
You just need to begin.
