Float & Flow: Paddleboard Yoga & Sound Bath Experience

We’re continuing to take movement outside with our Float & Flow experience at Lake Mitchell! After our summer free flows at the Corn Palace, we’re excited tocontinue to get together and enjoy the outdoors with the community before the weather chages

We’ll start with a 30-40 minute paddle session on any floating device you prefer—no pressure, just a chance to get moving, settle into the water ans the group, and soak in the vibes.

After that, we’ll head to the beach for some optional balancing yoga poses, or you can just float and relax.

To end, we’ll unwind with a sound bath on the beach, guided by Erika or Karlee. It’s a simple way to find some peace and reconnect with nature.

Look forward to this toward the end of August as we all settle into new schedules and transitions.

This will be a great way to let the water help us relax and recharge.

Some of our Hot Spot crew had the honor of being instructors at the 2nd annual Sioux River Yoga Festival held at Good Earth Farms this past weekend — and what an incredible experience it was. 🌿

This festival brought together so many beautiful energies — each class, instructor, and participant offering something unique and powerful. It was a reminder of just how expansive and healing movement can be when shared in community, out in nature, and surrounded by intention.

These gatherings aren’t just about yoga. They’re about release. Reflection. Real connection. About remembering how freeing and cleansing it is to simply be — without judgment, without pressure.

We’re deeply thankful to have been a small part of something so meaningful. Our hearts are full

Sometimes, life brings moments that stop everything. Moments that leave you sitting in hospital rooms, praying for signs of healing, holding your breath, and wishing you could carry the weight for the people you love.

In the middle of those moments, it’s easy to forget to take care of yourself. To move. To breathe.

Yesterday, after days of waiting and hoping, I finally moved my body. I ran until my legs hurt, and in that simple, sweaty, painful movement, I felt the smallest bit of release. A reminder that movement is a gift. It’s a way to process the emotions we don’t always have words for. It’s a way to remind ourselves we’re still here, even in the hardest seasons.

Movement will never fix everything, but it can help us keep going when the world feels heavy. It can be the lifeline that grounds us when everything else feels out of control.

To anyone carrying something heavy right now, I see you. Take a walk. Step into a class. Move, even if it’s just a stretch or a deep breath. Let your body help you carry what your heart is holding.

I will never take the power of movement for granted again.

I do apologize for my absence during this time, and I want to say thank you to the amazing team for covering while my family is going through this. Your support means more than you know.

If you’d like to follow Tyler’s recovery journey, please read our CaringBridge updates on our facebooks. Your prayers and encouragement mean so much as we walk this road together. Also keep my sister in your prayers as she steps into a new journey as well. She is so strong 🫶🏻

Happy International Yoga Day 🧘‍♀️

Today we pause to thank the incredibly talented instructors who guide our community with so much care, heart, and intention. Your creativity, patience, and presence continue to inspire movement that goes beyond the mat.

Yoga isn’t about touching your toes or perfecting a pose.

It’s about finding steadiness when life feels chaotic.
It’s about breathing through discomfort—on the mat and off.
It’s about coming home to yourself, again and again.

Yoga teaches us that flexibility of the mind is just as important as flexibility of the body. That strength comes in many forms. And that showing up, exactly as you are, is more than enough.

✨ NEW EXCLUSIVE POP-UP! ✨

Sound Journey With

Details
When: Saturday June 14th at 9:30 AM
Where: The Hot Spot - Mitchell SD
Capacity: Only 12 people—limited spaces
Bring: A yoga mat, cozy layers, and anything else that helps you fully relax (blanket, pillow, water) we do provide as well

What is the Sound Journey?
Embark on a deeply restorative 60-minute Sound Journey with Erika, a licensed massage therapist who has expanded her practice to include sound as a powerful tool for releasing stored muscular and emotional tension. This intimate, exclusive class (just 12 spots) blends mindful meditation, gentle physical release techniques, and the soothing resonance of instruments like crystal sound bowls, tuning forks, and tingshas.

Using a carefully layered soundscape, Erika guides you into a deeply relaxed state. The crystal bowls emit high-vibrational tones that help clear stuck energy and encourage internal balance, while tuning forks deliver focused frequencies that interact with the nervous system to support muscular release and emotional regulation.

Why tuning forks?
Tuning forks are used both on and near the body to stimulate soft tissues, improve circulation, and entrain the body’s natural rhythms. The frequencies can help reduce physical tension, calm the mind, and create a sense of openness and flow—all without physical manipulation.

Why Crystal Sound Bowls?
Crystal singing bowls are made from pure quartz and resonate with powerful, high-frequency tones that affect the body on a cellular level. These vibrations are known to support emotional clarity, ease anxiety, and move stagnant energy. The tones naturally help guide brainwaves into a meditative state, inviting deep stillness and inner harmony. Many participants describe feeling both lighter and more grounded after receiving the calming resonance of the bowls.

Meet Erika
Erika is a licensed massage therapist, somatic trauma practitioner, and sound-based healing guide with advanced training in therapeutic frequency work. Drawing on years of hands-on experience with physical tension and stress, she began exploring how sound can unlock the same areas of resistance in the body that massage traditionally addresses. Her approach combines intentional breathwork, light movement or muscular cueing, and immersive sound to provide a whole-body reset.

What to Expect
You’ll begin with grounding breath and body awareness, preparing the nervous system for restoration. Then, as you lie comfortably on your mat, Erika will guide you through a sequence of tones and vibrations designed to support muscle release, emotional balance, and mental clarity.

We’re so proud of this town, this little family, and the way our space has become something uplifting, encouraging, and rooted in real connection.
