GROUND is 1 Month Old!

GROUND has been open for 1 month! And in that month we have grown to 35 members and have had 176 people take class! Plus we have people taking class not only from Putney and surrounding areas but also from Alabama, NYC, and LA!

And we are getting feedback like this….

"Thank you, Amanda and Nicole, for providing such a welcoming and inclusive studio for gathering with old and new friends while strengthening our hearts and bodies. The opportunity to have easy access to practice yoga and other grounding movement came at just the right time for me. I feel like I am getting physically stronger and more balanced (both physically and figuratively), and these attributes are improving aspects of my life off the mat." -Cheryl

GROUND comes from our hearts and from a deep desire to create a space where you can truly land, come home to yourself, get stronger in every way, build trust within yourself and be with community.

Thank you for welcoming us into your lives. We are beyond grateful to be here.

With so much gratitude,
Amanda and Nicole

Ground Movement Studio is already in it's 3rd week! Have you taken class yet? If not, what are you waiting for??? 🙂 We offer classes every day!

Joins us tonight for FLOW (5:30-6:45pm) with Tracy/Varada Donahue:

This class blends yoga and somatic awareness into a flowing practice guided by breath and body moving together. Each class weaves in mobility, strength, and flexibility while inviting a deeper connection to how your body feels from the inside. Movement is cued with somatic awareness in mind, so you're not just moving through shapes, you're learning to listen to what your body is telling you along the way.

For all levels of ability and experience.

YOUR PRICING OPTIONS:
1. Drop-In: $20
2. Get the Intro Week: (7 days of unlimited classes - for new students): $20
3. Three tiers of membership based on your financial situation ($55-$125)
4. 5 class pack for $85

07/08/2026

Over the last 20+ years, I've had a few yoga teaching businesses. The first one had me driving each week to schools, town halls, libraries, people's homes, studios, gyms - wherever I could teach a class. Then several years (and job jobs later), I opened a yoga studio in Putney, Putney Moves, which closed during covid and was followed by more job jobs.

Both of these businesses brought me a huge amount of joy. But there was this nagging part of me (ahem, society) that kept saying:

It's not enough.
This is a hobby.
This isn't a real job.
This is just a side job.

Hence the many job jobs.

That voice kept me from fully immersing myself in the work and loving it with every fiber of my being - which was my truth all along. Teaching was all I ever wanted to do.

After many years of talking back to that voice instead of letting it drive, and remembering - over and over - what matters to me, how I want to live, and what kind of impact I want to make, I'm finally living that truth unapologetically.

I am teaching in a deeply authentic way - creating classes that reflect my heart and my understanding of why we are here.

I am co-leading a studio with my business and life partner. We do life and work together from a place of deep trust in ourselves and the universe.

I am allowing the work of guiding classes and experiences to be what I love, want and need.

I am, without shame or embarrassment, fully committed to learning and understanding how to let our bodies be our guides so that we may fully come home to ourselves.

The feeling now is freedom. That nagging voice is in the back seat. It's not driving anymore, it's not navigating - it's just looking out the window, enjoying the ride.

So - is this just a hobby? Not anymore. It's the truest work I know how to do.

None of it happens without you. Thank you for welcoming Ground Movement Studio into your life. Thank you for taking classes, for sharing on social media, for buying a membership, a class pass, an intro week, a drop-in. Thank you for being here.

With so much gratitude,
Amanda and Nicole
