As we near the longest night and the Winter Solstice I am reminded that much of what has become Core Element started with a Winter Solstice BUTI in 2022 and has grown abundantly to include new traditions and our first Christmas Eve classes and holiday gatherings. This is a great time to set an intention to bring a little light to your life in a world that feels so very dark.

Friday night’s Ecstatic Dance Journey with we will move through curated music and movement to honor the ways we move when times are at their coldest and darkest.

Saturday join for a deeply moving and personal healing and movement practice that invites the body into a sense of ceremony to honor our internal fire.

Sunday we culminate with a gorgeous combination of somatic yoga led by Craig and will be providing curated teas and treats, and an hour long sound bath to promote deep rest as the sun sets on the shortest day into the longest night.

Moving into the holiday week our schedule will vary slightly. Monday will be a normal schedule, Tuesday and Friday are currently tbd as I collaborate with the instructors to honor holiday plans and travel.

12/24
Wednesday, Christmas Eve Core Element will have our regular gentle yoga at 8am and 9:30 am BUTI

12/25 Thursday, Christmas Day we are closed

If you have any needs for holiday gift cards I am available anytime to help you navigate our site and e-gift process.

I cannot thank you enough for your support in turning my dreams of bringing a little light to our community into a reality. May the intentions you set and the traditions you honor from; Solstice, Christmas, Hanukkah, Yule, New Years, Toyot-thon & Beyond be uplifted, may you be held, may you be happy, may you find a hope that can never be extinguished and above all may the light of love keep you warm on these cold winter’s nights.

One of my favorite holiday traditions is crafting; this year more than ever as we focus our energy and finances on intentional spending and creating more sustainably I’m excited to host, in collaboration with , a BYO craft or garland event. If you don’t want to take anything home help make garlands for the studio, share supplies and paper to make your crafts more eclectic, and enjoy community and coziness as we craft. Doors will open a little before 9 for this free event, if you need supplies we will have a way to donate and contribute but no one will go without.

This year the gratitude hits different. From our big BUTI Glows to intimate 1:1 classes, sweaty vinyasa flows, cozy restorative classes, private curated events, showing out at pride and beyond we are so grateful for those that have shared space with us.

New can be scary. New classes, new teachers, new poses, and even new ways to discover poses can be scary. One of our newer teachers knows how to overcome fears from moving around the country to moving at top speeds. Meet Cheri!

A native of Salina, Kansas who loves to visit the mountains, time hanging out with her husband Pat, and reading any book about dragons. When she isn’t geeking out about yoga, bikes, or her fam you can catch her planning a fun trip, checking out a local festival, or chatting with her long distance besties. You might also catch her blasting Lana Del Rey on the way in to the studio where she teaches gentle but uplifting vinyasa classes and chair yoga but stick around for her warm and silly energy by asking about her favorite Real Housewives of Salt Lake City drama.

Cheri started yoga while looking to adopt a long term wellness lifestyle and diversifies her movement off the mat by walking her dog Prairie or hopping on her road bike for a cycling session. “My great passion is cycling. I intent to go Pro.”
🚲
Her practice has supported her through back injuries, the strains that cycling can place on the body and through the sometimes scary transitions that come with transplanting to a new place.
“I really love yoga and enjoy practicing with others. I show up because I genuinely love the community and the people I get to know.”

Cheri always makes time to chat with people before and after classes regardless of if it’s her teaching or personal practice. She lives the community aspect every chance she gets and values her relationships with our studio fam (very Libra coded tbh).

All month Cheri is adding a special timeslot to practice Bakasana, Crow Pose to help you find flight. Sometimes the courage we need to try a challenge is to feel safe and learn with your flock. We asked who makes her secure
“My husband Pat, we ride bicycles together. My dog Prairie Dog- she is great at eye contact. My cat Kat. When it is on her time. My best friends Ryan and Jocelyn, we have been friends for 12 years. My studio owners Craig and Hope, they believed in me and give me freedom to be creative.”

Come see Cheri in person Sundays and Mondays all month.

We’ve got s’more events in the next two weeks than you can shake a we**ie roasting stick at. [to be cringe is to be free I’m not even apologizing for the puns]
Last 2025 Summer Sunset yoga is Friday the 19th at with yoga, a bonfire and release practice, and I’ll bring some hotdogs and s’mores ingredients. Feel free to bring more and let’s potluck it but you are not expected to bring anything but yourself.

Less outdoorsy? and are bringing some magic in-studio.

Ale’s morning class at 7am is a great week-end and start to the weekend. Perfect for beginners or for easing into a morning yoga routine. Can’t catch her this Friday? Meet her bright and early Monday for Dawn Awakening.

One of our most popular events has become Breezy’s Sacred Siren Flow and it’s this Saturday 9/20 at 10am with limited spots going FAST.

If the season is making you wanna twirl meet for Move/Ment: The Magic of Fleetwood Mac on Friday the 26th at 6pm.

We are excited to have .minteer back in town for a sliding scale Sunday night BUTI. If you have been looking to try this class Tori will bring you high energy, a loving spirit, and the odds are high she will also be shaking it to a Pitbull remix.

We have everything from divas to dalé at Core Element and hope to see you. Book your class at the ⛓️‍💥 above and don’t forget to keep voting for us at best of BG!

I want to express my deepest gratitude to the community for nominating our studio and its team of amazing teachers as the best yoga studio in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Breezy, Julie W, Cheri, Ale, and our special guests like Marcy, Veronica, Julie C, Emery, and Chelsea have poured a lot of love and energy into the space and have helped me turn this dream into reality. We also can’t make this place a home without the amazing students and clients, the way you invite and share and show up is why we love to teach and hold space. I’m incredibly thankful as well to have been nominated as best yoga teacher in BG, and I am working hard every day to earn that by providing as much love and energy as I can to you.
If you’re in BG or the surrounding area be sure to check out our classes and teachers. We run a wide range of offerings and events from power vinyasa and BUTI, to gentle beginners yoga, somatic movement, sound baths and restorative styles. Above all we are an affirming space for all bodies, all identities, and all expressions of belief and ability and I hope to see you in a class or on the list for one of the other phenomenal teachers soon. If you’ve never tried the studio please book your intro 10 for $10 and if you’ve not been back to meet our new teachers or to get back into the habit of practice come back and let’s get into Autumn with some presence and encouragement.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
-Craig

It wears many faces, it has many names, and it will show up in our lives with or without invitation. Grief has come up a lot this last year for me, others in this community, and the world at large. It’s important to move and express joy, to rest and find stillness, but we also need to embrace and develop a relationship with grief. This Saturday will lead a powerful retreat at the studio centered on grief and the various resources and tools available for anyone who is navigating grief in any stage or form. You can expect discussions, various practices to support yourself, and some movement modalities to aid in your journey. Please DM with any questions, and share with those that could use support. Those that would like a provided meal should register by Thursday. Please contact Craig or Marcy with any other questions.

About this weekend y’all…
Amazing morning yoga classes and evening pop up events from leading a Somatic MOVE/MENT class for Lions Gate to the amazing Nidra/Sound Bath by for the Full Sturgeon Moon in Aquarius.

The most amazing vibes, but even better interactions with our community. So many tears, breaths of relaxation, and releasing happened this weekend. Curating this space was something we dreamt about and manifested. We are so glad to stand in gratitude for this while we help others in manifesting not just abundance for ourselves but the rest and renewal needed to stand tall, work for, and fight for a better world.
Stay tuned for amazing events and workshops like this and more this August and beyond as we grow and step into the world we deserve, imagine, and strive for.
