About Us
Yoga for Everyone
Yoga unites the mind, body, and soul in a way that eases tension, reduces inflammation, and promotes health and well being. Regular practice will help you reach, improve and perfect poses, correct posture and positioning, and improve your breathing and outlook on life.
Enhance Your Wellness
Mindfulness series are offered throughout the year to assist you with the skills necessary to live the life you desire. From gentle movement to guided meditation, participants will learn new techniques to help them live in the present with awareness.
Calm Your Mind
Yoga not only helps improve your body, but also helps with mindfulness and meditation. It is important to take a break from daily life in order to focus on yourself and get clarity. Focusing on your breath during practice is key to staying in tune with your mind and body.

Who doesn't love a red barn? This one on Darling Hill has always been a favorite of mine and there's nothing like fresh snowfall to bring attention to its beauty.

What's New?
This pile of pine logs in currently buried under a couple of feet of snow, but it won't be long now before they get milled to be part of the new Sweetwater Studios STUDIO.
We hope to begin construction as early as possible this spring and it's an exciting time for us.
As retirement from our careers nears, we are looking forward to this next phase in our life journeys.
Located directly on the Kingdom Trails, we are excited at the possibility of meeting you. Perhaps you'll stop in for a yoga or wellness class, spend the weekend in our new apartment, say hi and introduce yourself, or purchase a jar of fresh honey.
Stay tuned!
