Happy Birthday to our incredible instructor, Mel ✨

Since beginning her teaching journey in 2022, has brought such a thoughtful, compassionate, and uplifting energy to every class she leads. As a Nurse Practitioner at Cal Poly, she beautifully weaves her deep understanding of the body, nervous system, and whole-person wellness into her teaching, creating classes that feel grounding, supportive, and inspiring all at once.

Originally from California’s Central Valley, Mel found yoga during the pandemic through self-guided practice before discovering The Center Studio community in 2021. That journey eventually led her to become a 200-hour trained instructor, and we’re so grateful it did. Her emphasis on mindful movement, breath awareness, and self-study invites students to meet themselves exactly as they are, with kindness and curiosity.

Please join us in wishing Mel the happiest birthday🤍 Join Mel on the mat:

Thursdays 5:30 PM Fit Flow (heated)

Happy Birthday, Leslie ✨

We’re celebrating Leslie St. John, creator of , teacher, writer, and a deeply thoughtful guide in movement and self-expression. Through the modalities of yoga, Qoya, and writing, Leslie helps people release creativity, feel more at home in their bodies, and cultivate deeper self-intimacy and connection.

Leslie earned her MFA from Purdue University and is a certified 500-hour RYT dedicated to lifelong learning and continued study. Her teaching is shaped not only by her education, but by her lived experience, healing journey, and the depth and beauty she brings into every class she leads.

We feel so lucky to have her as part of our community and are endlessly grateful for the grounding, creativity, and care she shares with students each week. 🤍

Join us for this Qoya Inspired Movement event next Saturday, May 2nd 2-4pm! ✨

In Qoya, explore the freedom of moving without judgment, focusing less on how it looks and more on how it feels. Through movement, ritual, and connection, the practice invites you to trust your body’s wisdom, shift out of thinking and into feeling, and reconnect with movement as a way of remembering and honoring yourself. Qoya is accessible to all ages, fitness levels, and abilities.

Happy Birthday, 🤍✨⁠
⁠
With over 20 years of teaching, Niccola brings depth, tradition, and a whole lot of heart to every class she leads. Rooted in the Ashtanga lineage and shaped by years of study, including time in India, her teaching is both disciplined and deeply intentional.⁠ Her classes? “Hardly comfortable and comfortably hard.” Expect to be challenged in the best way, guided by breath, focus, and the powerful rhythm of a consistent practice.⁠
⁠
Yoga has been a lifelong journey for Niccola, one that began as a way to navigate life’s chaos and evolved into a daily ritual of connection between mind and body. When she’s not on the mat, you’ll find her in Arroyo Grande with her family, running her dog sitting business, playing pickleball, or out on the trails 🐾
⁠
We’re so grateful for the experience, authenticity, and passion she brings to our community every single day.⁠
⁠
Show Niccola some birthday love & come practice with her:
⭐️ Monday 6:00 am - Center Flow (heated)
⭐️ Friday 6:00 am - Center Flow (heated)
⭐️ Saturday 7:15 am - Center Flow (heated)

“Misperception is seeing things not as they are.” - Yoga Sutra 2.5
So much of our experience isn’t just what’s happening…
it’s the stories we layer on top.

The anticipation.
The assumptions.
The way we think things should go.

The Yoga Sutras call this avidyā—misperception.
Seeing through the lens of assumption instead of reality.

What shifts when we pause…
and meet the moment with curiosity instead?

Less control.
More clarity.
And maybe… a little more freedom.

Happy Birthday, Reagan! 🎉✨

From her very first Power Flow class, felt the spark, and we’re so grateful she followed it. What started as a search for feel-good movement quickly turned into a deep love for the practice (and yes, the heat 🔥), but it was the community that truly made it home.

Reagan brings that same feeling into every class she teaches. She creates a space where you’ll be challenged, inspired, and fully supported. Her classes are rooted in connection, shared breath, and that powerful reminder that we’re stronger together.

Practice with Reagan on the mat🧘‍♀️
✨ Mon + Wed 12PM - Power Yoga (heated)
✨ Fri 6AM - Center Flow (heated)
✨ Sat 10AM - Power Yoga (heated)
