The Inner Shift: A Journey Into Personal Practice
🗓️ Monthly, starting July 13th
6 Month Program, w/ Whitney & Kara
This offering was born from something we were both craving—a space that didn’t yet exist, but felt deeply needed. A place to explore yoga beyond movement… to slow down, reflect, and reconnect in a meaningful way.
What began as a quiet idea has now unfolded into something we’re so honored to share with you.
The Inner Shift is a six-month journey into the heart of personal practice. It’s not a teacher training. There are no checklists, no finish lines. Just a space to breathe, to feel, and to gently come home to yourself.
Each month, we’ll gather at the YOGA loft with a theme to guide us—woven through breathwork, gentle movement, yoga philosophy, meditation, and time for journaling or quiet connection. We’ll hold space together for whatever shows up.
What to bring:
Wear something cozy, bring a notebook, water or tea, and anything else that helps you feel grounded.
We’ll meet: The second Sunday of each month, July through December, from 1–4pm Dates: 7/13, 8/10, 9/14, 10/12, 11/9, 12/14 Cost: $550 (50% due at registration; remaining balance before we begin)
If you’ve been longing for a deeper connection to your practice, your self, and your breath—this might be the space you’ve been needing too.
Kids Yoga Mindful Movement
🗓️ Tuesdays in July & August
2:00pm, 1 hour, w/ Elena Michael
Kids Yoga with Elena Michael
These engaging and playful classes introduce children to the foundations of yoga through music, storytelling, crafts, and games.
Each session incorporates age-appropriate movement, breathing techniques, and imaginative meditative exercises designed to spark creativity and curiosity.
Children will explore yoga poses in a way that supports both fine and gross motor development, while also building emotional awareness and self-regulation skills. Even at a young age, children are highly capable of participating in mindful practices.
These classes provide a fun and supportive environment where they can begin to develop a deeper sense of self-awareness and cultivate kind, respectful relationships with themselves and others.

Flowing for a Cure: Stretch, Breathe, and Fight Brain Cancer
🗓️ Sundays in May
We’re excited to share something close to our hearts with you.
May is Brain Tumor Awareness Month, and throughout the month, the YOGA loft will be offering donation-based yoga classes to support the GBM Research Organization — an incredible organization funding research for a cure for glioblastoma, a devastating form of brain cancer.
This mission is especially meaningful to us, as Catherine Johnson, a beloved member of our Yoga Loft community, is personally connected to this cause.
100% of the proceeds will go directly to the GBM Research Foundation.
No donation is too small — every contribution helps move us closer to finding a cure.
We would love for you to join us in moving, breathing, and giving back.
Together, we can make a meaningful difference.
Community: A Special Evening at the LOFT
🗓️ Sunday, May 11, 2025
6:00pm, 1 hour, w/ Whitney, Kara, & Sylvie
We’re creating a special evening at the loft—a calm, welcoming space to just be.
On a day that can mean something different for everyone, we’ll gather for one hour of gentle journaling, grounding meditation, soft sound, and time to reflect or share if it feels right.
After our circle, stay and enjoy charcuterie, light bites, and a sparkling toast (non-alcoholic) as we ease into community and connection.
Plus—a flower bar where you can pick and create your own small bouquet to take home as a simple reminder of the care and connection you shared.
Whether you’re a mom, honoring one, missing one, or simply craving a moment to yourself—this space is for you.
Come as you are. Let this be a pause in your day to settle, breathe, and reconnect.
Spots are limited. Save your space now.
