The Movement Journeyman

08/15/2025

Dear Yoga Community,

We are excited to share some changes that will be coming to our studio over the next few weeks.

Lavender Lotus Yoga will be transitioning to The Movement Journeyman effective September 1.

Michelle will be stepping out of the owner and manager role to spend more time with her family, along with her new grandson! However, she will remain a presence at the studio, teaching classes and offering private lessons.

Matt will be taking the lead as owner and operator. He will continue to offer yoga, massages, and personal training in our wellness space.

Michelle and Matt will be working closely to continue offering the same welcoming yoga community that has always been present at the studio. We are excited about this change and hope you join us in this new journey!

During this transition please continue to support our studio! We will be here to support you! Your class packages and gift cards will be honored in the new booking software, Vagaro.

Lavender Lotus will no longer provide package deals, but drop-in passes are available through August 31st.

Starting September 1, you’ll be able to purchase class passes, book classes and learn more about our instructors and massage therapist through Vagaro. We will no longer be using the Mindbody app for booking.

Michelle would like to express her gratitude to the entire Lavender Lotus community for all the support over the past three years. She is very proud of the community we’ve created both on and off the mat. It is her hope that the yoga community will continue to support us during and beyond this time of transition.

In the meantime, please follow The Movement Journeyman on Facebook and Instagram for continued updates on class times, events, and studio news.

All the love and light,
Michelle and Matt

☀️😎 An update from Matt:

Thank you! I truly appreciate each and every one of you in the community that supports the studio now located at 120 E Simmons (right next to The Beanhive Coffee). If you have checked the online scheduler recently, you may have noticed that I am no longer an option online. In order to best serve my clients, I have closed my online availability for the summer.

My current clients can aways snag a spot by text message or IM here. Folks who would like to be seen may also contact me to be considered for any openings as they come available. I am currently booking into August and September.

Most importantly, check for availability with Aubree or Cheyenne! They may be able to accommodate an appointment much more quickly 😜

Thank you to all and cheers to summer!
