March is that quiet turning point.
Longer light. A little more energy. A natural pull to reset.

If you’re feeling ready to shake off winter and move with more intention, Tuesday evenings at Bodyworks Youniversity offer the perfect space to begin again.

Join Pippa Browne for a steady, breath-led yoga practice that blends mindful movement, grounding strength, and gentle exploration. Over the coming weeks, classes will continue weaving in chakra-inspired themes—offering a thoughtful way to reconnect from root to crown as the season shifts.

✨ This class is designed to help you:

• Reawaken strength after winter

• Improve mobility and flexibility gradually

• Regulate and support your nervous system

• Build awareness through breath and intentional movement

Expect a calm, welcoming environment where you can move at your own pace—whether you’re brand new to yoga or returning to your mat with experience.

🗓️ Tuesdays at 5:30 PM

📍 Bodyworks Youniversity, Sewanee

Spring doesn’t have to mean rushing forward.

It can simply mean showing up—one breath, one movement, one Tuesday at a time.

In a world that constantly tells us to push harder, stretch further, and do more…
Sometimes the most powerful shift is to organize better.

At Bodyworks Youniversity, we believe true strength doesn’t come from force.
It comes from alignment — and from allowing the body the kind of rest that helps it function well.

Not collapse.
Not disengagement.
But intentional rest.

What Is Intentional Rest?

It’s the kind of movement that helps your nervous system settle.
The kind that allows overworked muscles to soften.
The kind that invites underused muscles to participate.

When alignment improves, something surprising happens:

• Movement feels lighter
• Strength builds more naturally
• Tension decreases
• Breathing deepens

As a respected Pilates educator once said,
“The success is in the set-up.”
When the body is organized well, it doesn’t have to fight itself.

For nearly 20 years, Bodyworks Youniversity has offered Sewanee a place where movement is intelligent, restorative, and rooted in care.

You don’t have to work harder. You may simply need to align better — and allow yourself the kind of rest that strengthens you.

Is it really true that laughter is the best medicine? Yes!
A good, hearty laugh relieves physical tension and stress, leaving your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes after. It decreases stress hormones and increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies improving your resistance to disease. Laughter even improves the function of blood vessels, lowers blood pressure, and increases blood flow. While it’s no replacement for going to the gym, one study found that laughing for 10 to 15 minutes a day can burn approximately 40 calories—which could be enough to lose three or four pounds over the course of a year. And finally, nothing diffuses anger and conflict faster than a shared laugh. Looking at the funny side can put problems into perspective and enable you to move on from confrontations without holding onto bitterness or resentment. So, go and have a good laugh for your well-being!

The magic circle and the small ball are favorites to use in our mat classes at Bodyworks. The small ball helps loosen tight areas and challenges the balance while also supporting the spine and assisting in stretching. The Magic Circle helps to get the correct muscles turning on and encourages better posture. It also tones arms, thighs, and the chest.

We would love to see you in one of our classes! Schedule with Kim at 423-322-1443 or at bodyworksyouniversity.com

Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing nearly every aspect of society, but the gym is hallowed ground for human connection.

According to the survey of more than 10,000 consumers across five continents, 52% of respondents leaned human-first, with 31% strongly preferring a real trainer and another 21% leaning that way. Importantly, Gen Z and Millennials strongly preferred human coaches — Les Mills found that just 11% of 16-27-year-olds and 9% of 28-40-year-olds prefer AI-generated content.

Join us at Bodyworks for human connection and a great workout!

Whether or not you follow the groundhog, or simply enjoy the folklore, we’re here to tell you: winter isn’t going anywhere any time soon. Generally speaking, our long-range predictions say this wet winter whirlwind will take a moment to unwind.

The Farmers’ Almanac uses a mathematical and astronomical formula to make our long-range weather predictions, not folklore. We look at sunspot activity, tidal action of the Moon, positions of the planets, and many other factors to carefully craft a year’s worth of weather forecasts. Fans of the Almanac say our weather forecasts are accurate 80-85% of the time.

Even though Phil is wrong on occasion, we still respect the groundhog and a “holiday” that’s stuck around for more than a century, and one in which we are reminded to put down our high-tech gadgets and consult with nature.
