4th and Market

Today is Tara Poorman’s last day of personal training, be sure to give her a congratulations or a thank you if you see her around town!! 🥳❤️💪🏼 And she only has a couple weeks left of teaching at the Y!

We were lucky enough to receive a sample of what she has given to the health and fitness world within our community for over 30 years! She has educated, motivated and inspired many, and has been a real trailblazer. She earned her Master’s degree in Exercise Physiology from Miami of Ohio, and has worked in various wellness settings such as clinical and management hospital settings, cardiac rehab, group fitness, college teaching, senior centers, community education and most recently personal training!

Dakota and Rachel specifically were both very inspired and guided by her work! She has been the epitome of the saying, “do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.”

Enjoy this next chapter full of grand babies and new adventures! 😍

👀 There are a few new yoga opportunities this week!

1)For the month of September, you can catch Janelle Fila for a 30-minute meditation class on Tuesdays at 6:30pm and also on Fridays at 12:30pm! Janelle Fila
**Description~ This 30-minute mindfulness meditation is broken into three 10-minute sections of sitting, walking, and breathing meditation. It is the perfect way to start a morning or wind up a week, whether you have meditated before or are trying it for the first time.

Janelle Fila teaches English to college and homeschooled students. She is currently completing her 100-hour Meditation Teacher Training through Yogamu.org

This class is open to people of all faiths and beliefs, whether you have meditated before or are trying it for the first time. You are welcome to bring your own yoga mat or cushion. Blocks, bolsters, and blankets will be provided, as we will be sitting for a majority of the class. Please let us know if you would prefer a folding chair so that can also be provided.

2)A pop-up Hot Slow Flow this coming Sunday with recent new YTT graduate, Sydney Richards. Sydney Richards
**Description~ Learn to connect your body and breath~ Build strength, flexibility, endurance, mental focus, and deep calm. Hot Slow Flow will include slow moving yet flowing sequences for an active and intentional practice. This class is all levels friendly! The room will be heated with infrared panels to a range somewhere between 85-95 degrees. (Summer days are warmer, winter days are a little cooler...so it varies a little due to the nature of our old building!) The heat feels very cleansing and rejuvenating, and makes flexibility work a lot more accessible and enjoyable for tight, stiff bodies.

This girl has been a dedicated yoga student at our studio for a long time and now you can catch her teaching at our place 😍❤️‍🔥 Starting Monday August 24th Ashley Ferrell will be teaching a Yin Yoga class every Monday at 5:30pm!

Yin yoga is great for every experience level from beginner to advanced. It’s a very nice compliment to an active, busy lifestyle and a wonderful way to dip your toes into yoga without the fluid transitions of an active class. It’s kept close to the ground- lying, kneeling and seated- for the most part, and each pose is held anywhere from 1-7 minutes to give time and space for stretch, inner awareness and intentional breath.

Ashley also has such a sweet and welcoming presence~ making the more challenging poses feel calm. You’ll love the way she creates and holds sacred space for you!

🫶🏼 Weekly classes are sliding scale pricing~ $8-20, you choose. Sign up and pay ahead using the Momence app or our 4&M website.

Aside from Tuesdays evenings you can now catch this beauty Sammy Jo Henderson for Hot Vinyasa every Saturday 8:00-9:00am starting THIS WEEK! Get signed up 🙏🏼❤️‍🔥

|hot vinyasa| A flow style of class in an infrared heated room~ usually around 80-90 degrees depending on the time of year. (Charming old building perks) Students learn to link movement with breath and to create intention with transitions from one pose to the next, which builds strength and mindfulness. Classes include focus on balance, strength, flexibility and mobility...every class and week is different, and there’s always time at the end for a drop-in and rest in savasana to still the body and mind. This class is great for all levels of experience.

Congratulations to this group of nine amazing women who are now officially yoga teachers! Their journey began in January {but really from the moment they registered for the training} and it’s been a powerful year that’s difficult to put into words. What goes into a Yoga Teacher Training is way deeper than stringing a series of poses together to a catchy playlist to help people strengthen and stretch. The amount of courage it takes to see and be seen, and to walk the path of mindfulness and intention, especially when life gets heavy, is no easy feat. We are so proud of this group and privileged to have facilitated the journey. Isn’t it always beautiful how endings also become beginnings 🙏🏼🫶🏼

And so it is.

❣️ Please consider donating packs of pads and tampons (or any other period items you want to provide) to the box in our second floor lobby over the next couple of weeks in prep for back to school time!!

This campaign is led by Ali Hale ! Last year they were able to donate 100 bags to Foxfire School, and they hope to surpass that this year and include other schools.

Did you know that 84% of girls in the US report having to miss class and school activities due to not having adequate period products!?

Anyone who comes to the gym and studio (or anyone who just wants to stop by) is welcome to contribute! Every little bit helps 🙏🏼
