Join Kelly Yonston and Stephanie Sawtelle for a Partner/Acro Yoga experience designed to collectively raise our vibration, have fun, support each other and create a feeling of unity. 

In this special class, we’ll come together and lift each other up - literally and figuratively!

Not just through our bodies in a playful beginner-friendly acro yoga practice - but also through shared energy, breath, and intention.

.

Kelly Yonston, travelling yoga and mindfulness teacher, will guide you through a fun and uplifting partner yoga and acro yoga workshop, where you'll learn to build trust, strengthen your body, and flow with others in creative and playful ways. NO experience is required to enjoy this light-hearted flow!

Stephanie Sawtelle, nature-based wellness coach, will enhance the practice by incorporating empowering wisdom from her allies- the horses; herd animals, who are natural mentors in the benefits of strength through unity. Like horses in a herd, we are stronger when we move as one. Just as a horse moves with grace, strength, and deep awareness, we will embody these qualities as we connect with ourselves and each other.

.

What to Expect:

• Acro & Partner Yoga designed for beginners, with a focus on connection, trust, and support

• Energy-raising practices to help you move in harmony—just like horses do when they move together in sync

• A safe space where we will lift each other up - you’ll be amazed at how strong you feel with the right support

• A shared intention to raise our vibration —creating a circle of support, strength, and collective empowerment

Whether you're new to acro or have practiced before, this class will help you experience the power of connection, community, and truly supporting each other.

Come alone, or with a friend!

Together, we can rise higher 🌿

Vocal Empowerment Workshop + Blanket Drive benefitting Boro Women & Family Services

.

Come lift up your voice while we uplift the community!

Begin this sweet and soulful morning with hot cocoa, connection time in community, and donation drop off.

Then we'll circle up to sing, chant and express ourselves with songs of joy, hope and empowerment. Songs will be a mixture of familiar pop culture, classic carols, and some yoga-inspired mantra. Led by Lori Burke and Monica Graves Garcia.

NO singing or vocal experience is necessary, and you don't need to "have a good voice" to participate.

We believe ALL voices are beautiful and ALL voices are needed, during this special time of year when lifting each other up is the most important thing we can do

About Your Guide:

Nicole VanTassel is a 5th grade teacher and a mindfulness explorer. She loves adventures with her family, winter walks in the woods, paddleboarding on the lake, and her morning coffee.

Since the unexpected loss of her sister in 2015 and her subsequent journey into grief and healing, she has been working on living with a little more presence, slowness, peace and intention, and is finding new ways to share what she has learned along the way.

You're invited to Studio 99's First Fridays September workshop in collaboration with StillPoint FarmASea for a dynamic blend of Mindfulness, Horse Wisdom, and Nature-Based Wellness!

While surrounded by nature and supported by the presence of horses, enjoy a guided mindfulness practice led by Teachers of Studio 99 Yoga. We'll connect with the energy medicine of Horse and help you cultivate a sense of inner peace and freedom from within. 

Then, spend intentional time with Stephanie Sawtelle of StillPoint FarmASea getting to know the horses and discovering how they can be intuitive, playful guides on your wellness journey.

No horse or meditation experience is necessary.
