Protea Movement Studio

The body changes with age.
That’s normal.

But losing connection to movement doesn’t have to be.

Yoga can support balance, coordination, mobility, and body awareness in ways that help people stay active and independent longer.

The goal isn’t to move like you did 20 years ago.

The goal is to keep moving well for the years ahead.

☀️Summer Solstice classes this Saturday☀️Note the earlier start time for the 8:00 class… Sweat (Hot Pilates) followed by an extended, restorative, soothing sound bath.

Our morning offerings will end with a special ‘shifting of the seasons’ yoga Nidra after flowing and stretching in the 10:00 Steady Flow 90 minute class.

Bring a friend and come soak up some movement before welcoming the longest day of the year. 🍃🌞🌅

Teacher Spotlight: Rosa Cruz ❤️

A wife, proud mama of two, and passionate yoga lover, Rosa recently moved to Arizona from San Diego to begin a new chapter.

Rosa spent 18 years building a career in the banking industry. Her yoga journey began when she stepped into a class looking for a workout and discovered much more. Yoga transformed her mentally, emotionally, and physically, inspiring her to complete her Yoga Sculpt and vinyasa training to deepen her practice.

With the encouragement of a mentor, Rosa took a leap of faith into teaching. Today, she loves sharing movement, strength, and mindfulness with others while creating a welcoming space for students to grow.

Favorite Pose: Crow — a reminder to overcome fear, trust your strength, and lean into the unknown with confidence.

She can’t wait to move, sweat, and connect with you on the mat. 🙏

Join Rosa Thursdays at 4:15 for Shred (Yoga Sculpt) Express.

Some people come to yoga looking for flexibility.

What they often find instead is community.

A room where nobody expects perfection.
A place where slowing down is allowed.
A reminder that wellness does not have to be isolating.

Movement feels different when it happens in a supportive environment.

That’s part of the practice too.

Loving our Sweat (Hot Pilates) classes?

You’re building strength, stability, and a powerful core.

✨ But what happens when you add Flow?

Yoga helps you:

✔️ Increase mobility
✔️ Improve flexibility
✔️ Connect deep breath to deep movement
✔️ Move with more ease in everyday life

Think of it as the perfect complement to your Hot Pilates practice.

Look for Steady, Swift and Settle on the schedule to find a Flow class this week. 🙏

There’s a difference between exercising your body and listening to it.

One pushes.
One notices.

Yoga asks different questions than most workouts:
Where are you holding tension?
What movements feel supportive?
What happens when you slow down enough to actually feel your body moving?

That awareness carries far beyond the studio.
