The BIN: Movement Studio

A Reminder From This Week ❤️

After hosting our grandchildren this week, I have a renewed appreciation for working moms and dads. The schedules, meals, questions, constant movement—and beautiful chaos—can leave very little time for yourself.

It also reminded me of something I’ve learned over time: taking care of yourself isn’t taking away from your family. Making time to breathe, move, rest, or simply be quiet can help you come back calmer, clearer, and more present.

So as you look at this week’s schedule, I hope you’ll find a little space for yourself. Even one hour can make a difference.

Come move. Come breathe. Come learn. Come connect. ❤️

I am feeling incredibly grateful today. ❤️

THE BIN has been voted #1 in Mankato! 🥹✨

What started as a dream to create a welcoming space for movement, mindfulness, balance, and community has grown into something far more meaningful than we could have imagined.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote, attend a class, encourage us, share our posts, bring a friend, or simply believe in what we’re building here at The BIN.

This recognition belongs to our entire BIN community. You are what makes this little granary on the farm so special. 🌾❤️

We are humbled, grateful, and so excited for what’s ahead.

There’s something incredibly special about being able to simply be present for someone.

Tonight, during Restorative Yoga, I was reminded what a gift it is to create a space where people can slow down, breathe, soften, and let go.

To witness someone settle into stillness… to hold space without needing to fix, change, or accomplish anything… is a beautiful privilege.

I feel blessed that The BIN gives me the opportunity to be present for others in this way. 🤍

Movement doesn’t always have to be about doing more. Sometimes, the most meaningful movement is learning to be still.

One year ago, I walked away from what I truly believed was my dream job.

It was a job I thought I would someday retire from. But when I found myself in a situation where my values and what I believed was right were no longer supported, I knew I had to make a difficult choice.

I had no idea what the next chapter would look like.

Thankfully, I had a husband who believed in me and supported me without ever pushing me to “find another job.” Then, as fall approached, a little friendly needling from friends planted a seed: Maybe you should open your own place.

Not long after, I walked into a worn-out building and thought, “That’s about the right size for a studio.”

And that was the beginning of The BIN. 🤍

A year later, I have no regrets.

Yes, a beautiful building was created. But what has been created inside those walls means so much more to me.

The BIN has become a place where people can walk through the door exactly as they are. A place to move, breathe, grow, laugh, rest, and reconnect. A place where you don’t have to be at a certain level of fitness, flexibility, or confidence to belong.

A place where everyone is welcome—no matter where they are on their journey.

Sometimes the ending of something we thought was our future is simply the beginning of something we couldn’t yet imagine.

One year ago, I didn’t know what was next.

Today, I’m incredibly grateful for where the path led me.

Happy one-year anniversary to the beginning of The BIN. 🌾🤍

And thank you to everyone who has walked through those doors and helped make it what it is.

As summer slowly winds down and fall approaches, it’s a good time to pause and ask: What do I want to make space for in the season ahead?

Maybe it’s movement, strength, rest, connection, or simply making time for yourself. Commitment doesn’t mean perfection—it means returning. 🤍

Take a look at this week’s schedule and choose a class that fits where you are right now. Come as you are, and keep showing up in whatever way you can.

Sometimes it’s the little things that tell the biggest stories. 🤍

If you look closely around The BIN, you’ll find pieces of our family farm’s history tucked into the landscape.

An old hand-painted sign.
A vintage license plate.
A weathered ladder that has a story of its own.
An old piece of farm equipment given a new purpose.
And, of course, a little mushroom-loving visitor who seems quite happy to make himself at home. 🍄

Not everything here is new—and that’s intentional.

The BIN grew out of a place that has been built, worked, loved, and cared for by our family for generations. We like finding ways to carry a little of that history forward while creating something new.

Movement, mindfulness, community… and a few reminders of where we came from.

Because sometimes the most meaningful spaces are made up of the little details. 🌾

Welcome to The BIN—where the past and present have a place together. 🤍
