Tonight, may we begin by acknowledging the land that holds us. DRiFT operates on the ancestral lands of the Sauk, Meskwaki, Ho-Chunk, and Waupeton peoples. May we continue to move with respect and awareness in this Driftless place we call home. This season carries many complexities, and I’m holding space for all of it.

A moment of thanks for those who make DRiFT what it is:

💛Our Instructors
Ceana, Dillan, Ellie & Johanna—your heart and energy guide this community every day (and keep me on track😜).

☕️
Our home away from home. Thank you for your generosity, partnership, and the best post-class Reefuel smoothies.

🥰And You
Our members and supporters are the soul of this space. Your presence and commitment to something bigger than movement make DRiFT more than a studio. We’re grateful for every moment you choose to show up.

Here’s our holiday schedule if you’re looking to move, I sure would love to see you.

With gratitude,
Laree Schouweiler (she/her)

Shakti + Shanti… the perfect blend of power and peace!

In this 75-minute experience, we’ll start by building heat and tapping into your inner fire, then shift into cooling, grounding postures to welcome calm. Expect dynamic vinyasa-inspired flow, a more mindful cooldown (with chilled eucalyptus towels), plus an extended savasana—because your nervous system deserves the reset!

Sunday, November 30th
3:00–4:15 PM
$20 community drop-ins
(also included in packages + memberships)

Preregistration is encouraged so we can plan the space and create the most comfortable experience for everyone.

Join us at DRiFT and feel the full arc of power + peace! www.driftlessyoga.org

Meet Lauren Emily (she/her) - a fellow movement enthusiast and pivotal human in how DRiFT came to be a powerhouse of movement and connection in the driftless area!
•
Laree stumbled into Lauren’s Sunday Sculpt in St. Paul back in 2009 and was instantly hooked on the movement and the teacher. After following Lauren through two yoga teacher trainings in the Twin Cities, their friendship blossomed! Lauren’s enthusiasm and brilliantly crafted sequences sparked Laree’s love for combining strength and yoga, leading her to open Reefuel in 2012 and DRiFT in 2022.
•
Movement may have brought them together, but Lauren & Laree’s friendship has evolved over the years through festivals, babies, weddings and lots of windshield time to see together. We are incredibly honored Lauren will be leading the Saturday double at DRiFT:
7:00a Sculpt Flow 45
8:00a Dynamic Vinyasa
We anticipate full houses this weekend - preregistration is GREATLY appreciated to help us plan for space, props and sequencing!

You thought athleisure was already as good as it gets? Think again. Meet — a women-owned, body-inclusive brand that’s changing the way activewear feels. Their pieces are ultra-soft, made with care for people and the planet, and designed to move with every body And with sizing from XXS to 4X, Beyond Yoga makes comfort and style truly accessible — something you don’t always find with other high-end activewear brands.

We’re so excited to carry Beyond Yoga at DRiFT — because we believe strength and softness belong side by side. ✨

Beyond Yoga’s Wool Blend Cardigan is the perfect cozy layer with their Spacedye leggings in vibrant red; adding a fun pop of holiday colo. Beyond Yoga’s newest wide legged pant combined with their LUXE sweatshirts are the kind you’ll want to live in all weekend - in or out of the studio!

And because we love a good accessory, we’ve stocked up on — the women-owned brand behind those strong, no-rip hair ties that double as cute bracelets. Plus, mats, known for setting the standard in eco-friendly, durable mats with a recycling program that gives old ones new life. 🌍

All of these (and more!) will be available this Friday at the Holiday Hootenanny. Grab your tickets soon — it’s going to be night filled with folk, fashion and small town magic! www.renderedunique.com✨

Big jumps. Little jumps. The “I’m not sure I can do this but I’m doing it anyway” jumps. At DRiFT, strength shows up loud sometimes (hello, jump squats) and quiet times where you’re practicing stillness.

You’ll see these physical jumps in our Sculpt classes, but not all leaps of faith need to involve high impact movements.
🦄Try a new class DRiFT!
📆Showing up on a Monday.
🤝 Introducing yourself to a new studio friend
🐣Letting yourself be a beginner… over and over and over again.
All that counts too.

We have classes seven days a week and space for every experience level. Come find your lift, your landing, your way of moving that feels like you.

What will you JUMP into this week? 🎶💥✨

Join DRiFT for Wellness Weekend in Decorah | November 7–9
💛
There are so many ways to be well — through movement, rest, connection, and care for our community. At Drift, we aim to be a multi-faceted movement studio where wellness can take many forms: strength and stillness, challenge and compassion, solitude and shared energy. Movement is the bridge that connects it all — tying physical vitality to emotional balance and community wellbeing.
💛
This Wellness Weekend in Decorah, we’re celebrating all the ways we can practice being well together — through intentional movement, community connection and action that supports others. Join us for a weekend of classes designed to move your body and nourish your spirit:
