Are you ready for this? ... New Studio South App

Thank you.....thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support, love, and dedication to your practice. Because of you we have been able to vastly expand our offerings into even more unheated yoga and barre classes. Bringing you more than 50 opportunities to practice each week.

With so many classes, now is the time to download our custom, complimentary app on the app store listed under Studio South. You'll be able to see all of our classes in real time, purchase, and sign up for whatever you desire to attend.

You will now see several new classes on the schedule....


Yoga ...
this is an unheated class for most levels. Why do I say most? Let me share a little story. Years ago I was taking an ALL levels yoga class at a gym. It was packed and a gentleman came into class and struggled the entire class. I watched as the teacher tried to help but it was clear that there were better class options for him to truly have a positive yoga experience. Our most level yoga classes are designed for beginners and seasoned practitioners alike who are able to ability to move through seated, standing, kneeling, and reclined positions unassisted.


Chair Yoga ...
this class is designed for yogis who can not or do not want to get down on the floor. You will still get all the benefits of a yoga practice from the comfort of your chair. We will also utilize the sturdy bars located around the room to improved balancing postures. Chair classes will begin the week of January 17th due to a delay in the actual chairs arriving!


Restorative ...
is back! This slow, slow paced class allows you to rest in poses fully supported with blocks, straps, bolsters, and blankets for up to 5 minutes in each pose. Come relax, rejuvenate, and restore.


Unplugged ...
throw you worries, electronics, and stress to the wind. This one hour meditation class is perfect whether you have been an avid meditator for years or don't have the first clue how to meditate. Sunday mornings at 7:30am.


Flow ...
similar to Yoga only you can expect a little more movement linked with breath. A slightly more intense class than yoga but very accessible. Still a class geared for most levels.


Barre-dio ...
think Barre mixed with a low impact tabata workout. This upbeat class is bound to get your heart rate up and the toning of your body improved.


Yin Yoga ...
Slow down with this quiet Yin practice that targets the deeper connective tis sue with the aim of increasing circulation and improving overall flexibility. Poses are held for 3-5 minutes with the little muscular engagement supported by props. Settle into deep stretches in this meditative yoga practice. Beginners welcome!

With our new space we now have the capacity for plenty at the barre and even more for yoga.
And we're not talking about cramming you in, we're talking space! So grab your mat and meet us at the studio.

Here's to a great 2016!
May yours be filled with all the goodness life
has to offer, peace, love, health, and happiness!

With Love & Gratitude,
Katy & Crew

The Smaller, The Better


When in Barre Philosophy class, it’s easy to feel like if your move is the biggest or your pulse is the largest, then you are doing the best. In Barre Philosophy, however, smaller is actually better. Don’t be convinced that because your tricep dips are deeper than the Barre-bie next to you that you are having a tougher workout. Try to get deep into the pose to begin with, and make itty-bitty movements from there. The tiny isometric movements are what really get your muscles shaking. These super concentrated moves help to cultivate long lean muscles. Next time you’re in class, take the instructions “teeny tiny movements” to heart. You’ll feel the burn even more than usual.

Namaste y'all!

BarrePhilosophy



Barre is taking the nation by storm one pulse, burn, and inch at a time. One reason Barre-bies (our affectionate name for Barre students) love the workout is because of the accessibility of the sequence. I'm all for challenging but if rhythm is required then based on genetics, I'm out. BarrePhilosophy features the upbeat music that you would see in a dance class but the coordination of a ballerina on Broadway is not required. By sticking to simple, small movements that isometrically engage the body, BarrePhilosophy burns inches, increases strength, flexibility, and confidence. There is nothing more frustrating than being overwhelmed because you can't keep up. Barre allows you to do what you can, modify what you need to, and feel great at the end of it all! BarrePhilosophy offers a nonjudgmental atmosphere that allows you to do and feel your very best!

Namaste y'all!

Thoughts on Generosity


In this season, we spend countless hours being generous with those we love. It’s easy to get wrapped up in the frenzy of it all. Don’t forget to be generous with yourself as well as others. As flight attendants remind us every time we board a plane, you must adjust your own oxygen mask before assisting others. In order for you to be able to genuinely be generous with your time, talents, and treasure this season, you must care for yourself as well. Take a break from the cooking, the cleaning, and the gift shopping and treat yourself to an hour of quiet at Studio South. I bet you’ll leave feeling more in tune with the true spirit of the holiday season.


Namaste y’all!

Never Miss a Monday

Got a case of the Mondays? You’re not alone. Getting yourself up and ready for the first workout of the week can be a challenge, but it’s the essential first step to beginning your week on the right foot. Here’s why:


Mondays set the tone for the rest of the week.

If you make it to the studio on Monday, the rest of the week you’ll think, if I did it on Monday, I can do it today. Monday workouts get your momentum going for the week.


Mondays are a fresh start.

Every time you step on your mat, the instructor reminds you to leave everything outside of the studio behind. Let’s be honest, though, we all have baggage we bring to our workout. Mondays are a new beginning. Take this opportunity to intentionally focus on leaving the last week behind you.


And remember, just getting there is a success.


We have a new Monday class: 7:15 pm Flow & Sculpt. Meet us at your mat for a total body workout that will get your blood pumping!


Namaste y’all!

Start Your Day at Studio South



Morning workouts are underestimated. Yes, dragging yourself out of bed at 6 am (or earlier!) is tough, but each time I make the effort to do it, I feel better all day long. You have a couple of options at Studio South:


On Monday & Wendesday, we offer HOT BARRE from 6:30 am - 7:15 am.


Hot barre is a great morning option because it’s a quick 45 minute workout that, while tough, leaves you feeling refreshed. As soon as I finish hot barre in the morning, I’m always eager to start my day. I have more energy all day long. Like many people, I have the hardest time getting up on Mondays. I find that when I make the effort to get to class before work on Monday morning, it sets the tone for a great week.


On Tuesday & Thursday we offer HOT YOGA from 6:30 am - 7:30 am


Hot Yoga is great on Tuesday and Thursday because it refocuses you amidst a stressful week. While my biggest challenge on Monday is usually getting up in the morning, after the week has started, I already feel like I need a break. Early morning hot yoga is my time to clear my head. By the time I get to work, I feel ready to focus on the big day ahead of me.


And on Friday, treat yourself to a morning off :)


If you haven’t before, try an early morning class at the studio. It’ll start your day out on the right foot. I promise!
