Soulshine Yoga + Fitness

This week we want you to meet Erin, and we think you’re going to love her.

Erin has lived in the Panora area for about 3 years, formerly from West Des Moines. She’s a mom to 4 kids- stepsons Quinten and Gavin, and her two, Andrew and Lainey. They live on an acreage with dogs, cats, chickens, and ducks. Her boys are active in the Panora Fire Department, and outside of Soulshine you’ll find Erin cheering on Lainey’s volleyball games, tending to her flock, or doing just about anything outdoors.

Her favorite thing at Soulshine? All the stretching and Pilates.

And why Soulshine? Her bestie Becky recommended it and Erin wanted to share the therapy and benefits that yoga can bring with her daughter.

That right there is exactly why we do this. One friend tells another. A mom finds something she loves and brings her daughter along. A community grows one person at a time.

We are so glad Becky told you, Erin. And we’re even more glad you came. 💛

🎉🎉🎉🎉 100 x 4 = 4️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ classes for Blair Winter!! (Keep in mind that this number doesn't include all the barre, bootcamp and sculpt classes Blair has led, and that she has grown and birthed a tiny human since she started at Soulshine, so this is an EXTRA BIG MILESTONE!) We love you to pieces, Blair, and we're grateful to have a SOUL SISTER like you! Keep Shining!!✨💛

Can we be honest about something?

Not every class is going to feel good going in. Some days you're tired from work, tired from the week, tired from just being a person with a full life. And the last thing that sounds appealing is driving to the studio and moving your body for an hour.

We know. We feel it too.

But here's what we've seen over and over again in this community: the people who show up on the hard days are the ones who build something lasting. Not because they pushed through pain or ignored what their body needed, but because they redefined what "showing up" means.

Showing up tired and taking every modification? That counts.
Showing up and spending half of savasana just breathing? That counts.
Showing up and doing 70% of what you normally do? That counts.

Consistency isn't built on your best days. It's built on the ordinary ones. The Thursdays when everything ran long and you came anyway.

We're here to be the place you want to come back to - on the good days and the hard ones alike.

Whatever today is for you, we're glad you're here. 💛

🎉🎉 WHOO-HOO!!! Michelle Crannell zipped her way to Soulshine's 2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ Class Club! Her very first class was at the end of September and she already has TWO HUNDRED classes under her belt! Michelle has quickly become an integral part of our Soulshine family - she is eager to learn, open to trying new things, and willing to step outside her comfort zone in the interest of growing deeper in her practice.

We LOVE having you at Soulshine, Michelle, and are SO PROUD of all the work you have put in! Shine on and cheers to the next milestone! 💛✨

Our golden birthday is almost here 💛

Three years of Soulshine ✨
Three years of movement.
Three years of growth.
Three years of showing up for ourselves and for each other.

What started as a studio became so much more than that 🤍
A place to breathe.
A place to grow stronger.
A place to find community.

To every person who has walked through our doors, taken a class, brought a friend, supported us, laughed with us, cried with us, and grown with us… thank you.

Soulshine wouldn’t be what it is without YOU.

And this year feels extra special because on June 3rd, we celebrate our GOLDEN birthday ✨

Join us all day for classes, giveaways, prizes, and fun surprises as we celebrate 3 amazing years together 🤍

We can’t wait to celebrate with our Soulshiners ✨

✨ Meet Kacey ✨

Kacey has spent most of her life in rural Dallas County, with stops in Des Moines and Lincoln, Nebraska along the way. She describes her family as "just right for me", loving, supportive, fun, local, and complete with a mini dachshund named BowJo and three pet Highland cows (yes, she's a rancher! 🐮🤍).

When she's not at SOULSHINE, you'll find her working to make a difference in the lives of others, painting, reading, journaling, or enjoying one of her favorite hobbies- baking. And if there's something sweet involved or an opportunity for a massage, she's all in! 🍪✨

One of our favorite things Kacey shared is that connecting with her body through yoga is still new for her. She doesn't have a favorite pose yet because she's still discovering what her practice can be and we think that's such a beautiful reminder that yoga is a journey, not a destination.

What brought her to SOULSHINE? The genuine community of care, encouragement, and support. As she put it, "Yoga has centered me every time I practice in my life. Cara has built a beautiful circle here and it's a gift."

We're so grateful you've found your way to our circle, Kacey 🤍✨
