Palestra Spa & Studio

05/28/2026

Today is National Senior Health & Fitness Day, and we want to be clear: this is a day that belongs in our studio.

Tai Chi, Qi Gong, gentle stretch, and restorative yoga are all practices where age is an asset. The longer you've been in your body, the more you have to teach it — and the more it has to show you.

Our classes are genuinely for every body. If you or someone you love has been hesitant to try yoga because of age or mobility, please reach out. We will find you the right class.

Also: wear your SPF today (and every day). Summer is here, Charlotte.

Save the date for June 6. 📅

Biomagnetic Pair Therapy & Sound Healing: A Nervous System Reset Experience with Katie Sutton and Kristen Mather is coming — and it's unlike anything we've hosted before.

Personalized magnet placement + immersive sound healing = a combination that calms the nervous system, reduces inflammation, restores balance, and releases stored stress at a cellular level.

Ideal for anyone feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or depleted (so: most of us in May).

📍 Palestra SouthPark
📅 Saturday, June 6 | 2:00–3:45 p.m.

Long weekend in the books. If your back is feeling it — from the road trip, the yard work, the patio hours, or just the accumulated weight of May — we hear you.

Correct Posture Month is a good reminder that most back and neck pain is cumulative. It builds slowly until something makes you notice it.

A therapeutic massage and a postural alignment yoga session can do a remarkable amount of good. Our therapists are trained to work with your specific patterns — not a generic routine.

Book a session this week. Your body is asking.

Today we pause to honor the men and women who gave everything.

Memorial Day is a day for remembrance, and also a reminder that rest is not the opposite of dedication. It's how we sustain the capacity to keep showing up for the things and people we love.

Palestra is open today. Come in for a massage, take a class, or simply find some quiet.

For any active military and veterans in our community: we are grateful for your service, and we always welcome you here.

International Tea Day is a quiet one we love, because it's really about ritual. About the pause. About the intention you bring to an otherwise ordinary moment.

At Palestra, we keep a tea bar in the studio for exactly this reason. A cup before class, or after a session, is its own kind of practice.

Slow down today, even for five minutes. Put the kettle on. Notice the warmth in your hands.

That's enough.

And if you want a little more than tea, our Friday Sound Bath starts at 6:00 p.m. tonight. Link in bio.

Halfway through May. How's your body feeling?

If the answer is "tense," "depleted," or "honestly, I don't know" — that's your cue.

A few of our most beloved recurring classes this week:
🌿 Monday 9:30 a.m. — Qi Gong with Patrick. Gentle, flowing, and deeply grounding. Perfect if you haven't moved in a while.
🌊 Wednesday 4:30 p.m. — $10 Yin. Drop in, no membership needed.
🎵 Friday 6:00 p.m. — Sound Bath. Lie down. Let the bowls do the work.
🕯 Thursday 7:00 p.m. — Candlelight Restorative & Yoga Nidra with Jenn.

New students: your first month is $59 unlimited. Link in bio to get started.

Today is National Employee Health & Fitness Day, and if you work in SouthPark, this message is for you (or your HR team).

Palestra offers corporate group yoga, sound baths, and on-site wellness programming for Charlotte businesses. Because a team that moves well, works better.

We also love "Turn Beauty Inside Out Day" — the idea that real radiance starts with how you feel, not how you look. Rest is beautiful. Ease is beautiful. A body that moves freely is beautiful.

DM us or email to ask about corporate wellness packages.
