Saturday morning medicine — Ataraxis style.

A cozy crew of recovering overachievers choosing stillness over striving.
Candles, connection, and just enough laughter to remind us we’re all human. 🕯💛

Community > Competition. 💪

I popped into the new studio at Sunday Body Pilates + Wellness Studio to support my friend Kate — and it was everything I didn’t know I needed. ✨

The lighting, the throwback jams, and the way Kate led with such presence made it more than just a yoga class — it was connection, embodied. The kind of energy that reminds you why community matters, and how good it feels to show up for one another.

The vibe, the soul, the flow — pure Friday-night medicine as we shift into the weekend. 🤍

Thank you, Kate. I enjoyed being your student and look forward to more of your classes!

Support Squad > Solo Success every single time. 🙌

I highly recommend checking out the Sunday Body studio soon!

Ataraxis Yoga & Wellness is a sanctuary for slowing down, reconnecting, and coming home to yourself.

Founded by Linda Pitman, Ataraxis was born from a simple truth — that peace isn’t something we chase; it’s something we cultivate through presence, rest, and connection.

Here, we believe that rest is revolutionary and presence is power.

Our classes, workshops, and retreats are designed to help you step out of fight-or-flight and into grounded awareness — blending restorative yoga, somatic practices, mindfulness, gentle curiousity and creative expression to support your body, mind, and spirit.

Ataraxis is for those who are ready to release the need to do more and instead rediscover what it feels like to simply be.

For the women rebuilding balance, the seekers craving community, and the souls ready to remember their wholeness.

There’s no hustle here.

No need to perform.

No perfection required.

Just real people finding real peace — one breath, one movement, one mindful moment at a time.

Rest. Reset. Remember who you are.

Meet Linda Pitman
Founder of Ataraxis Yoga & Wellness

Linda Pitman is the owner and founder of Ataraxis Yoga & Wellness in Williston, North Dakota. She is a certified yoga instructor with a specialty in restorative yoga and somatic practices, helping others reconnect to the wisdom of their bodies and find balance in both movement and stillness.

Originally from Houston, Texas, Linda earned her Bachelor of Science in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin and spent nearly two decades in the oil industry. She worked internationally and across both major corporations and small independents, serving in leadership roles for over 15 years.

After years of climbing ladders and breaking glass ceilings, Linda realized that success without inner peace isn’t truly success at all. She made the courageous choice to step away from hustle culture and begin a journey of healing, presence, and purpose.

Today, she brings her deep professional experience and compassionate leadership into her work with individuals and organizations — blending mindfulness, somatics, and nervous system education to promote emotional resilience and workplace wellness.

Beyond her teaching, Linda is a wife, mom, daughter, and friend who believes that the most powerful work we can do is learning to rest, reset, and remember who we are — both on and off the mat.

Rest is revolutionary. Presence is power. Ataraxis is home.

A quick note from my heart — I absolutely love holding space for our yoga community and am always so grateful for whoever shows up, whether it’s one person or a full room. 🙌

That said, it really helps me to know ahead of time if you plan to attend our Monday night Feel Good Flow. Lately attendance has been unpredictable, and I find myself spending energy wondering if people will come. Knowing in advance allows me to prepare the space and my own energy so I can show up fully for myself and for you. 😊

So if you plan to join, please just send me a quick message or register online in advance whenever possible— it truly makes a difference. Thank you for your support, your presence, and for helping me keep these offerings sustainable and aligned. 🙏

Quick heads-up: tonight’s class (Monday, Nov 3) is still cancelled. For future Mondays (starting Nov 10), please reserve ahead whenever possible if you plan to attend.

With gratitude,
Linda 🙏

🙋‍♀️ Who likes pie?
Humble pie, that is. 🥧

Ah yes, that familiar flavor —
bitter going down, but a vital nutrient for growth.

What is humility?

It’s looking honestly at myself:
the choices I made,
the actions I took and the ones I avoided,
and the ripple effects I once couldn’t (or wouldn’t) see.

It’s feeling the tightness before the truth lands:
fear covered by regret,
regret covered by sadness,
and underneath it all — love wanting to show up better next time.

Humility is accountability without self-annihilation.
Courage without the costume.
Rigorous authenticity — in real time.

It’s breathing, accepting, repairing where I can —
and surrendering the outcome of what I can’t control.

Humility is not thinking less of myself —
but thinking of myself less.

Humility is hard.
False pride is harder.

When I eat my humble pie, I remain grateful for the tools I’ve gained through my yoga practice —
grateful for grace, growth, and grit.

If you want to grow, you have to be willing to do the uncomfortable work.

🧠 Resilient People = Resilient Business

High stress environments demand high emotional intelligence.
But when employees are stuck in constant fight-or-flight, performance suffers.

At Ataraxis, our signature program Nervous System Reset equips teams with practical, repeatable skills to:
• Reduce stress + burnout
• Improve communication + teamwork
• Strengthen focus + productivity
• Build confidence + emotional agility

This is science-backed workplace wellness — taught through experiential learning, not slides.

Let’s create a healthier culture where people can think clearly, connect better, and perform sustainably.

With over 17 years in the corporate America and 15 years in leadership roles, I am uniquely qualified to bring these practical tools into your organization.

✨ Balance lives in the little things ✨

Sometimes we forget to pause long enough to notice what’s right in front of us —
a floating flame, holding its shape in a near-perfect, imperfect triangle.

Fire doesn’t rush to be anything other than what it is. It simply burns — steady, warm, alive.

Balance isn't a grand transformation.
It’s a moment: a breath, a beam of light, a tiny spark that reminds you you’re still here.

Look closer.
The magic you’re chasing might already be glowing in your hand. 🕯️🔥

Steady, not perfect.
Balanced, not rigid.
Alive, not performing.

Nervous System Reset II is a six-week deep dive designed to expand your capacity for calm, connection, and self-trust. You’ll move beyond foundational tools into embodied resilience—learning to stay grounded, recover faster, and live in partnership with your nervous system. Stay tuned for details.
