Protea Movement Studio

Supporting Breast Cancer Awareness month all of October. Did you know that 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime? (Source: https://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/breast-cancer-awareness-month/)

We are taking donations both in the studio, with cash (in the studio) and online (through our Mindbody site / look for “Pink October Breast Cancer Donation” in our pricing options, or find three pricing tiers under “Charitable Donations.”)

Together we can make a difference. 💕

Chair Pose is a powerful foundational standing pose. Variations are encouraged and welcome depending on your body, your practice, and, quite frankly, the day you are having.

Variation 1: hands at hips.

Variation 2: hands at heart.

Variation 3: hands out in front, shoulders back and down.

Variation 4: arms up, palms apart.

Variation 5: gaze up, arms up, palms apart.

Final variation 6: palms together, arms up, gaze (dristi) up.

DON’T: tilt your tailbone back (this can put undue pressure on your lower back).

DO: direct tailbone down towards your heels to engage your core and protect your back.

Do you have a favorite variation? We’d love to hear it!

Did you know that our studio is attached to a naturopathic medical practice, Protea Medical Center? Founded by Dr Brendan McCarthy and our studio director Celeste McCarthy, the Protea Life campus incorporates movement, performance/recovery, bioidentical hormones and other services, nutritional counseling, IV therapy, and much more.

Whole body wellness is not one note. We believe in treating the whole person, from movement classes to diet counseling, to extensive lab work with knowledgeable and thoughtful practitioners.

Every student on our two-week intro receives a voucher for a FREE B12 shot in the welcome packet, and members enjoy 10% off all injections at all times.

The Protea Medicinary is right next door to our space, which makes it convenient to fuel up with some vitamin love after your workout or restorative session.

A movement class, community, and vitamin boost? Yes please!

Visit protealife.com to find out more, and, as always: DM us for more information.

At our studio, whether you take a yin class, hot pilates, barre, or vinyasa, we always start and end with grounding, breathwork, stretching and rest in savasana.

Why? We believe the most productive, nourishing movement requires the pause to begin and the integration to end.

Come see what our studio is all about, both the action and the stillness.

Two weeks for $25.

Calling all ghosts and ghouls! Come join us for a fun morning mommy and me pop up class 👻 this month
