Four years. Feels like just yesterday Kate and I was signing those papers, and here we are… ✨

🌊 2 floods
📚 Teacher training
🔄 A name change (Aug 21 — yep, today’s our birthday 🎉)
💨 Salt room
🔥 Sauna with infrared, red light therapy, chromotherapy, halo therapy + aromatherapy
💆 Massage room with Paul Wolff
🎶 Countless workshops & playlists
🧘 New teachers & endless memories

All this while raising a teen, a pr***en, and juggling a hubby who travels a ton. 🫠

But truth? I couldn’t do any of this without my team — the real backbone of Rise + Refine. People ask if I’m the owner and I always hesitate, because this studio isn’t about one person. It’s about the community, the students, and the incredible staff who show up every week bringing new ideas, joy, and love into this space.

And thank you for all the grace and patience you give me when I’m fumbling with technology 🙃 One day I’ll get it… until then, hang in there with me.

I’m so grateful for each of you. 💛 Now let’s celebrate — let’s do some yoga. 🧘‍♀️✨. .bility Anna McIntire and momma Deb

All in one wellness therapy … right here in Vestavia : Hot yoga, salt therapy, and infrared light create a powerful trio for total wellness. Hot yoga uses heat to deepen stretches, improve circulation, and detoxify the body, leaving you feeling both energized and calm. Salt therapy, also known as halotherapy, helps clear the lungs, boost immunity, and promote skin health by exposing you to tiny particles of pure salt in a relaxing environment. Infrared light therapy works on a cellular level, gently penetrating the skin to reduce inflammation, ease sore muscles, and support natural healing. Together, these practices not only enhance physical performance and recovery but also bring balance to the mind and body, offering a holistic reset for modern-day stress. Come check us out !

Memorial Day Mash -Up!!!
On Memorial Day, we come together not just to move, but to honor. Our Memorial Day Mash-Up is more than a class—it’s a celebration of freedom and those who serve to protect it. By blending all of our classes (Hot 26, Pilates, PIYO, Barkan, Yogatopia, Cocoon to Flight )
in one:
75 minutes
Monday 4:00-5:15
Each posture, breath, and drop of sweat is a tribute. We move in gratitude, we stretch in remembrance, and we serve by showing up—together.

From Fort Lauderdale to Birmingham to Costa Rica, Jimmy Barkan has been both a mentor and a friend. He has a YouTube channel, and this video in particular makes me feel so proud of our team.

It highlights the core reasons I love our studio: we’re a group of diverse teachers, each with our own unique style—but we all share two things:
1. We genuinely care about YOU.
2. We stay true to ourselves in every class we teach.

Exciting news—Jimmy will be at Rise + Refine this August! Mark your calendars! Shout out to all the Rise + Refine teachers and Karma crew and front desk ladies ! Love yall .bility https://youtu.be/IW7NmOg80v8?si=W19Ih7A5rZzSn7w1
