Each brings a unique background and fresh perspective to the mat, and we can’t wait for you to experience their classes. To celebrate – and to encourage you to explore everything our growing team has to offer – we’re launching our Teacher Takeover Challenge! Your mission is to take class with every instructor on staff during the challenge window. This is your chance to step outside your usual routine, experience different teaching styles, and show love to every member of our instructor team.

Whether you’re a longtime regular or just beginning your fitness journey, this is the perfect time to shake things up, support our growing community, and maybe even discover a new favorite class along the way. Let’s move together, grow together, and take on July with intention and strength.

Meet Brianna and Lupe

Did You Know… yoga and Pilates can be seen as Yin and Yang pairing, especially when considering their energetic and physical qualities:   YOGA = YIN (Traditionally Speaking) Focus: Mind-body connection, flexibility, breath, inner stillness Energy: More introspective, meditative, and restorative (though this depends on the style of Yin Yoga vs. Vinyasa vs. Bikram) Goal: Union of body, mind, and spirit; cultivating awareness and presence Movements: Often flow-based or held poses, emphasizing lengthening and opening PILATES/YOGA SCULPT = YANG Focus: Core strength, alignment, muscular endurance, control Energy: More dynamic, strengthening, and externally focused Goal: Functional strength, posture, and efficient movement Movements: Repetitive, controlled, precise, often equipment-supported or mat-based Together, They Balance Each Other… Just like Yin and Yang: Yoga helps calm and lengthen what Pilates activates and strengthens. Pilates brings strength and structure to the flexibility and mindfulness of yoga. One builds heat and control (yang), the other promotes cool, surrender, and expansion (yin). This duality is why many people find that combining yoga and Pilates gives them a well-rounded, body-smart practice. =============================================================  WHY YOU NEED BOTH YOGA & PILATES Yoga and Pilates aren’t either/or – they’re better together. Here’s why adding both to your routine creates true balance, strength, and long-term results.  STRENGTH + FLEXIBILITY Pilates builds deep core strength and postural control. Yoga enhances flexibility, mobility, and balance. Together: You develop a strong, supple, injury-resistant body. CORE FOCUS + FULL-BODY FLOW Pilates targets stabilizing muscles with precision. Yoga moves the entire body with breath and intention. Together: You create body awareness from the inside out STABILITY + MOBILITY Pilates improves alignment and muscular control. Yoga increases range of motion and functional movement. Together: You move smarter, safer, and freer. DUAL MIND-BODY CONNECTION Yoga quiets the mind through breath and presence. Pilates sharpens focus through control and coordination. Together: You strengthen the body and the mind. RECOVERY + PREVENTION Pilates prevents injury with smart strength training. Yoga aids recovery, eases tension, and promotes relaxation. Together: You feel better, move better, and live better WHY CHOOSE ONE? DO BOTH! Yoga brings the calm. Pilates brings the fire. You bring the commitment. Try both and your body will thank you.  ============================================================== Teacher Takeover Challenge July 21 – August 17 | 4 Weeks | 16 Instructors | Fun, Fitness & Friendly Competition Challenge Overview: This is an individual challenge where participants must take classes from all 16 instructors to complete the challenge.
