🌿 Seasons change, and so must we all

Join us to celebrate Emily’s last class as a teacher at IY on Saturday, February 21: Fire & Ice - she would love to celebrate this chapter with you in the hot room 💌.

Here are some of her words on this next chapter ♥️

Being part of the Intentional Yoga family and community has brought me so much growth, connection, and profound joy over the years. This studio has been a place of safety, deep learning, laughter, and quiet transformation.

I’m endlessly grateful to Devon, the teachers, staff, and students who make this space so very special. I hope that through my many and varied contributions, I’ve been able to give back even a fraction of the love, inspiration, and light I’ve received here.

In my new professional role, I won’t be teaching yoga. Instead, I’ll be applying the skills I’ve developed across all of my executive roles over more than 30 years of working; while also continuing to build competencies in areas where I’d really like to grow, in a management capacity. I’m genuinely excited to step away from teaching for a while and allow myself to return fully to being a practitioner again.

I’ll still be practicing at Intentional Yoga once my travel schedule is established and I get settled into my new role. This studio will always hold a piece of my heart, and I will forever be one of its biggest cheerleaders.

With love, gratitude, and a see you soon 🤍

Emily

In solidarity with the general strike happening across the country, many businesses are closing their doors today.

As a small business that exists to support mental health and community care, we felt called to show up a little differently.

Today, we’re donating 100% of what we earned (over $1,300) to the Michigan Immigrant Rights Center — . Check out the receipts for full transparency 🙂

It’s important to me to be visible and honest about where I stand and what this studio represents. We stand in solidarity with abolishing ICE, and we’re grateful for the support we’ve received.

You may feel differently — and that’s okay. We don’t have to agree. But this is what I believe.

If you feel similarly and are called to show your support, let us know in the comments ⬇️⬇️ otherwise there’s plenty more of internet for ya!

Much love.
Devon

Heated yoga isn’t about pushing harder.
It’s about creating the right environment for your body to let go.

Intentional heat + mindful movement = nervous system regulation.
And when your system feels safe, everything else softens too.

When I first stepped into this very studio back in 2011...

I had no idea how much my life was about to change. I didn’t come from a yoga background. I was fresh out of college, curious and a little lost, when my first mentor, Katie, offered me the opportunity to help build the very first hot yoga studio in Southwest Michigan.

I still remember my first class with vivid clarity: intense, sweaty, overwhelming… and somehow, deeply satisfying. Even though the experience pushed me in every direction, something inside me felt like I had finally landed somewhere that mattered.

Fifteen years later, I’m still here. Still learning, still growing, and still falling in love with this practice. In that time, I’ve earned advanced accreditation through Yoga Alliance as an E-RYT 500 and YACEP, taught thousands of classes, led Yoga Teacher Trainings, and facilitated retreats across the country and around the world.

Along the way, this studio transformed into a community-rooted home now known as Intentional Yoga, a place where we practice the art of moving with breath and living with purpose.

My hope is that it becomes your safe place too - a place to move, breathe, heal, and grow alongside a supportive and empowering community ❤

When you’re ready to take the next step, you can book a class at intentionalyoga.com, via the Mindbody app, or through the link in our bio.

See you on your mat!
