At Bloom, sharing Yoga Gems such as sequencing for nervous system health while including functional movements for practical life application are our priorities, not fancy choreography.

As a result of in-depth studies and lesson preparation, we are prepared to teach, learn and laugh “in the moment” instead of performing for the camera or audience.

As yoga professionals, this makes a huge difference in how Cristal and I are able to serve others. As wonderful as technology may be in some circumstances, it falls way short in others. During classes, being able to see and interact with those we are serving through movements, breathing techniques and energy management can’t be transferred as effectively through a screen. Community and relationships are not as directly or easily developed and nurtured on a weekly basis with “shards of light”.

We are blessed with the opportunity to be spontaneous and engaging teachers and learners not instructors. We want heartfelt interactions as we learn, discover, heal, grow and have fun together at our soothing studio. These are important aspects of the grace at Bloom Yoga & Wellness.

That said, we realize we have been compromising the profitability and sustainability of Bloom as an in-person studio by not going hybrid or all virtual as the yoga industry continues to rebound from the pandemic. However, the virtual yoga-verse can be a good adjunct to in-person yoga classes.

We feel blessed to still “Be” a yoga studio serving the health and wellbeing of wonderful folks in our community.

If you have been considering trying yoga at Bloom Yoga & Wellness or returning (we miss You!), we encourage you to start the New Year with us. We hope to be able to serve our area for years to come, however, if enrollments don’t increase in 2024, that’s not looking feasible. We wanted to give folks the opportunity to join us before another local small business they wished they had supported is no longer in business. Please help us by encouraging those you know who could benefit from Gentle•Mindful•Accessible Yoga to join us. PS…It could be You 😉💗🙏🏻

With Grateful Hearts,


Sharon and Cristal

PS….Bloom website has some pre-Summer Newsletters that have Free mini-practices with Cristal or Sharon!
