  • Outdoor yoga by the river: All levels welcome — an invigorating yet gentle practice set to river views and fresh air to open the body and lift the spirits.

  • Appalachian-inspired lunch in the studio garden: Savor a locally inspired meal — delicious flavors that honor the region.

Anne and Chrissy met years ago when their kids were little. Chrissy’s daughter joined an art class in Anne’s studio, and the two connected right away. Years later Anne took Chrissy’s outdoor yoga sessions...and the rest is history.

 

Together they inspire one another.

Their collaboration feels effortless: outdoor mornings flow into studio afternoons. They host workshops that blend mindful movement with hands-on creativity, believing that art. nature and movement nourish the same part of the soul. 

Anne and Chrissy invite you to join them. Whether you’re picking up a paintbrush for the first time or rolling out a mat to greet the sunrise, you’ll find warmth, encouragement, and a little bit of magic.
