Essential Yoga Studio

Essential is a non-heated yoga studio where OM is for ALL. 💜 Welcome home to Essential!

Yoga means different things to different people, but at its most essential, it means union. It means finding connection with yourself, your breath, your teacher, your community, and your world. So whether it’s your first time on a mat or your thousandth time in crow pose, when you walk into Essentail Yoga, you are welcome because we are one.

It’s not about being good at yoga.
It’s about being good to yourself. 💜

At Essential Yoga Studio, we believe showing up, breathing deeply, and moving at your own pace is enough.

Come as you are. We’ll save you a spot on the mat.

As many of our students know, my sister and I flew out to Pennsylvania a little unexpectedly last week to be with family in the aftermath of my grandmother’s passing. I’m so grateful to my husband and to Essential’s teachers and my studio assistants for stepping in to make sure everything and everyone has been well cared for in my absence so I could be more present for my people here in PA. I’m truly blessed by my community! 🥰

And I keep embracing the unexpected: we were due to return this evening but our flight was delayed then canceled then auto-booked again for a VERY early flight tomorrow morning. 🙃 So, I’ve been using the unexpectedly slower pace this morning to prep for tomorrow evening’s Yoga Nidra in celebration of the Year of the Fire Horse. 🙌

Guess what I’m leaning into?

Not a blazing fire, burning down everything in its path forward. 🥵

Nope. 👎

Instead: a brightly lit fire fueled by the steadiness of the Horse that knows intuitively when to act and does so with clarity and patience and intention, not a wild and scared sweaty mess. 😅

That’s who we get to be, who we get to explore tomorrow evening. 🐴 I hope you’ll join us! 🙏

We’ve got 7 spots left and I CANT WAIT to see my people and love on you a little extra. 🥹

Book your spot for free via our Events page then pay what you can on arrival. Cash makes things easy but debit/credit cards also welcome. See you soon! 💜💜

Happy Valentine’s Day!! I love our community so SO much! ❤️💜

Tell me who you’re sending these to because they’re pretty dang cute if I do say so myself! 🤗

Enjoy your day today, wrapped up in love from you, me, and Essential Yoga Studio too! 😘😘

Self-love isn’t something you think about.
It’s something you practice. So, this February, we’re gathering in sisterhood to practice with Racheal. 💜❤️

Join Essential as we welcome Racheal of Alchemy & Essence for a heart-centered women’s circle designed to move beyond self-love as a concept and into self-love as a lived, embodied art. 🙌

We’ll share:

✨ Heart-opening movement
✨ A guided mirror ritual
✨ Self-love jar creation
✨ Light refreshments + connection

Expect soft music, candlelight, low lighting, and a space that feels grounding and safe. You’re welcome to participate in gentle movement as much or as little as you’d like. Floor seating, bolsters, blankets, and chairs will all be available. Bring your own mat if you prefer or use one of ours. 🤗

Dress comfortably. Come as you are!!

Hot tea, water, and all crafting supplies are provided.

$50 per person. Book in advance via Essential’s Events page on our website.

If your heart has been asking for a slower, more intentional and connecting afternoon, this is it. Can’t wait to hold this space with you. 🥰

Have you heard of “glimmers?” It’s this idea that what you focus on grows and that when you look for positivity and beauty in small moments of daily life, you find it - and it brings you joy or happiness or peace in that moment (and maybe beyond that moment too!). Sort of the opposite of “triggers” which often bring us down. ✨

You know I love student feedback - I joke about being a reverse “energy vampire,” thriving on students sharing their thoughts and experiences at Essential with me. It’s affirming, constructive, and fuels me forward. 💪🌱

So when students share something I think showcases our culture and community well AND offers a little glimmer for me as a business owner and yoga teacher, I HAVE to share it with you too! 🤗

At Essential, we’re constantly learning together; we focus on connection and whole personhood in the context of our practices and it’s such a gift to offer this space to our community! 💜

What glimmers are you seeing this week? How are you using them to keep your heart and eyes open to the Good? Share your beauty and joy here! 🥰🥰

Looking for a Valentine’s gift that lasts longer than flowers? Or maybe to go WITH the flowers you’re gonna buy because they’re just so pretty? We got you! 🤗

This week, we are highlighting Flow Together February for partners who want to share a yoga practice, support each other, and build a healthy routine together. 🧘

Come practice with your person! This intro includes three weeks of unlimited yoga for two people at a discounted rate. You’re welcome for this very easy decision. 😘

Come together or separately. Move at your own pace. Support each other along the way. Show each other how much you care by taking care of yourselves too - I guarantee you’ll show up in your relationship differently too. ☺️

Yoga is better when it feels shared. 🥰

Plus, look how cute my husband, Essential’s Maintenance Man, and I are in this graphic. 🥹❤️

Anywayyyyy, find your person (could be your bestie, could be your coworker, could be the love of your life - we don’t judge here! 🌈) and get to booking at the Specials page of our website.

Just looking to give yourself a little love? Snag our intro offer for you and I’ll throw in a free hug too! 😉

At Essential Yoga Studio, we always come back to the breath.
Not because it’s fancy or complicated, but because it’s powerful.
Your breath is the one thing you always carry with you. It helps calm your nervous system, soften tension, and bring you back into the present moment. When life feels rushed, heavy, or loud, breathing gives you a way to pause and reconnect, right here, right now.

In our classes, we don’t rush past the breath. We move with it. We rest in it. We use it as a tool for grounding, healing, and creating space—on the mat and beyond it.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or simply disconnected, sometimes the most meaningful practice is just remembering to breathe.

You’re always welcome to do that with us 🤍

Did you know that Essential Yoga Studio does a formal assessment for student feedback twice a year?

We sure do, and I’ll tell you why! 🤓

Your feedback, whether you’ve been to the Studio once or 100 times, helps me make sure Essential is growing in the right direction. Our survey questions are shaped around what’s most important - our environment, culture, community, and class schedule - and every single response is read and considered. Every. Single. One. 🙌

Our last student survey prompted (in-progress) bathroom renovations, offering of more community events, and class schedule review. Feedback was shared with teachers to support their growth and our survey data is shared on our website to support trust and transparency. 💪

What I’m hoping this survey will shape? Our Spring and Summer class schedule primarily! I’ll be making changes to begin in March and I’m excited to use community feedback to make those changes in the best way! Also, students’ feelings around communication and community - how we learn about Essential’s offerings and support one another.

I’m in this for the long haul and I can’t do it without our community sharing their perspective and desires. Thank you so much to those of you who have already taken time to respond! 💜

I’ll be collecting data through Friday, February 13. Head to the homepage of our website for the link or snag it below!

Yoga might not be the answer to ALL of our problems but it certainly cant hurt to try! 😅

Think about your week ahead. Are you saving space for you? (Oh man, I need to do the same! 🫣)

We’ve got a class for you no matter your yoga experience, confidence, or physical ability - and I’d love to help you find what works best for you! 💪

Our discounted Twofer intro offer is available for one more week - through Valentine’s Day. 💘 So grab your favorite person, head to the Specials page of our website, and start taking care of both of you together. 😘

I can’t wait to see my people on the mat this week! I missed Restorative last week and my regular Saturday Gentle Supported Yoga the last TWO weeks - and boy, do I need the presence of my people!! I’ve missed you! 🤗

If you’re scrolling through, I’d love to hear how you lean into your yoga practice through all the ups and downs of life! Do you notice that you tend to practice more when life feels heavy or more when things feel light? There are no wrong answers - we’re just navigating this existence together! 🥰

Cheers to you and to your Sunday! 🫶

At Essential Yoga Studio, yoga is just the beginning.
It’s the conversations before class.
The laughter that lingers after.
The quiet sense of belonging that grows when we slow down together.

Community is where peace deepens and purpose becomes clearer. When people come together - just as they are - something beautiful happens. We’re reminded that we’re not meant to do life alone.

May your practice, on and off the mat, bring you connection, calm, and a sense of home.
