A June spent with our is a month spent very well. ❤️🧡💚🩷🩵💛

✨ Every yoga pose is a reminder that you are capable of incredible things. ✨

Within you lies the strength for extraordinary feats, whether it's more or less of a feat than the day before. It's still a "FEAT."
Show up on your mat as you are TODAY. Follow your breath and give yourself grace. Pat yourself on the back and remember you are capable of amazing things. 💛

Celebrating our members' milestones is always a staff favorite! The smiles and feelings of self accomplishment are just fuel to our fire! 🔥❤️
You are on fire ladies! And Congratulations to Carla (250 visits and climbing!), Caitlin (500 visits and climbing!), and Jill (500 visits and climbing!)
Whether at the Barre, lifting in the next Fusion class, or at the next yoga Flow, we will see you (and everyone else) soon!

Take a breath, hold at the top, then slowly exhale. 🌱 Continue that.

Give yourself grace in knowing that your body will tell you what it needs. Honor your body with the movement it is asking for each day. Whether that be a Yin or Restorative class, or a Power Flow. We are here to guide you back into your breath.

APRIL ENERGY ❤️💛💚💙

Spring is more than just a season.
It's a chance to refresh and lean into self-care. Commit to a daily practice, whether it be Pranayama (breath work) or your Asana (physical postures/movement). Nourish your mind with grace and peace for new beginnings.
Every action plants a seed to blossom in a stronger future 🌱. Give yourself time to realign, and reenergize mind and body.

❄️ Flow with your fam from the comforts of home. Every class on the schedule is also available via livestream ☃️ It’s not just convenient on snow-days… also travel days, sick kiddo days, squeeze it in days, and any day that making the trip to your second home just isn’t in the cards. We’ll see you on the mat! 💚

Greetings Latitude Family,

I want to start off with a resounding Thank You for all the kind words, hugs, and smiles since our announcement. Everything has been so warmly received and I am so excited to share this space with you on a new level.

While I know most of you, I want to take some time for you to get better acquainted with me. I grew up in a small Iowa town, just outside of Cedar Rapids. I studied Sociology and Psychology at a university in Dubuque before moving to Eau Claire in June of 2007. I have been with my fiance (AJ) for almost 15 years and we live near the East Hill with our siamese cat, Conky. You can find us outside as often as possible during the summers, utilizing our camper for our own little escapes and off-road adventures, or riding around town on our motorcycles (we have quite a collection!).
​
I started attending Latitude 44 in October of 2017. I was working through a recent loss and was still finding my footing on what exactly I was looking for. This place has a magic within these walls that none of us can deny and it accepted me as I was then and helped me find the footing I was looking for… helping me grow and heal. I became certified to teach the barre classes you hear so much about in March of 2019 and started my teaching journey the April after. I plan to add yoga to my offerings this summer as well; connecting with so many more of you all.

Latitude 44, you have bewitched me with your grace and acceptance, and most of all, love. Thank you all for the continued dedication and support.

Much gratitude,
Reese Wells
Owner of Latitude 44 Yoga Studio

Greetings, Latitude fam! As we near the end of our first decade serving the Chippewa Valley, I am excited to share of a positive transition that has been underway for some time. It is with great joy that I share Reese Wells has stepped forward to lead Latitude 44 Yoga Studio into our next season. Reese has been a valued member of our team for many years and has a deep connection to the community we collectively curate at Latitude.

Yoga, barre, and fitness will remain the studio's focus with key short-term goals to expand all of these offerings. (👉 We are hiring for all teacher positions!) And with Reese at the helm, I am pleased to continue my teaching journey and now also assume a role as mentor for Reese. I anticipate it will remain a smooth transition as we continue forward with many exciting things in development!

It has been an incredible run as a solo-preneur. With your love for what we do, we were able to pave the way and bring Eau Claire its first full-time/full-service + hot yoga studio. With your passion, we outgrew our space 3x. With your dedication, we beat the odds and survived the pandemic. With your trust, we are only getting better. To flow & plié with nearly 10,000 to-date... what a gift!

We appreciate your support and shared excitement for all that is to come. This new season is affectionately being coined 'Latitude 2.0' and oh, the places we'll go! While much will remain the same, Reese's vision and investments in our second home will bring notable enhancements to the member experience.

This journey has been the absolute peak of my past decade. I am forever transformed by our collective growth and eternally thankful to have built so many cherished relationships. This is far from a 'goodbye'... I will still be seeing you in the studio both as teacher and student.

With gratitude,

Amy Erickson

We’ll see you on the mat, 🥰

A clean slate gives endless possibilities. Beginning anything (yoga, a new career, a new hobby, acquainting with a new city, a new routine) is accompanied with an energy of being willing to listen, learn, and open to something not yet within conscious awareness. When we begin, we observe more closely, we are more aware of nuances as the mind attempts to piece together the puzzle. And as we get accustomed to the career, hobby, city, sequences of postures, etc. we naturally rely more heavily on our foundations of acquired knowledge and learned rhythms... and subsequently tend to become less porous and more immutable. It’s human nature and this innate psychological process is overall quite serving in life.

There is a great gift in the beginner’s mindset, however, that we lessen access to when getting accustomed and comfortable. Observation and natural curiosity become more distant when we feel we know our way around. If I can toss in a buzzword, being mindful helps offset this shift into unconscious operation.

Whether you’re beginning new or returning for the 1,000th time, a porous nature in your practice is encouraged. Both on and off the mat, harnessing the GOLD in a beginner’s mindset gifts us an expanded view for listening, learning, and building greater awareness. Linger on the guidance of the teacher, the tone of the frazzled co-worker, and the texture of the threads you’re holding so delicately. With a beginner’s mindset, we open ourselves to learning something new today. Maybe that arises through refined patience and compassion, or perhaps it surfaces through greater integrity in the most mundane of shapes. In all its varietals, gold is a medium of transformation.

As we head into the new year and the pressures to ‘resolve’ who you are, we just want to drop a note to say 👉 You’re doing great.

You can do anything you set your mind to when you back it with heart and a belief in your capabilities. As the year draws to a close and we start a fresh chapter in 2024, know that you are the author of your book. It’s written one letter at a time. When you stay focused on what it is you aim to create, stay dedicated to your routine and the things you know support you along this journey, the rhythm of intentional creation comes naturally. Set your intention and simply start to write it through your actions. YES, you can. 💪

According to Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, there is an eight fold path to liberation. This is known as the Eight Limbs of Yoga.

The First Limb of Yoga is the Yamas. The Yamas address moral discipline. The five Yamas highlight our interaction with the outside world. The fifth Yama, Aparigraha, speaks to non-attachment: Letting go of the things we cannot control can help bring us to a deeper sense of peace. Surrendering to 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙨 is part of the practice both on and off the mat.

✨ bringing that extra dose of magic to the today ✨

Sara, Cassie, & Becca offered an incredible sound session to 48 women at the Women’s Business Conference. Thank you for taking the pause and offering yourself a moment of complete peace. We look forward to seeing you for another session in-studio soon!
