Steamtown Hot Yoga & Barre

💜 THANK YOU, FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS. 💜

Our entire SHY community has left us completely in awe of the overwhelming support shown for our fundraiser this past week for Reagan and her family.

The biggest gift of operating a business in a small town is witnessing how quickly a community comes together when someone needs a little extra love and support.

We saw that firsthand this week. 🥹💜

From everyone who donated, attended class, purchased raffle tickets and bracelets, donated baskets, shared our posts, and simply showed up—we thank you.

This is what community is all about.
This is what SHY is all about.
And we are so grateful to be a part of it. 💜

Thank you for reminding us just how powerful a small-town community can be when we come together. 🙏🏻💜

💜 2 YEARS AT LACE VILLAGE — AND WHAT A JOURNEY IT HAS BEEN 💜

As we celebrate 2 years of SHY at Lace Village, I’ve been thinking a lot about the journey that brought me here—and honestly, it’s one I never could have imagined when I first stepped onto a yoga mat.

My SHY journey began in 2017 as a student. I came to class simply looking for something for myself, never knowing that this little studio would eventually become such a huge part of my life.

A few years later, I became a SHY teacher, and my love for this community grew even deeper. I found so much joy in sharing yoga, creating connections, and watching students discover what they were capable of.

Then, in 2022, I became the owner of SHY. What started as a place where I came to practice became a place I was responsible for nurturing, growing, and protecting. It has been exciting, challenging, humbling, and incredibly rewarding.

And then came Lace Village. Two years ago, we opened the doors to this next chapter—and I could not be more proud of what we have created together.

SHY is so much more than a studio to me. It is a community. It’s the people who show up on the good days and the hard days. It’s the friendships, the laughter, the sweat, the encouragement, the celebrations, and the quiet moments on our mats.
To everyone who has been part of my journey—from the students who welcomed me when I was just starting out, to those who have supported me as a teacher and now as an owner—thank you. You have helped shape SHY into what it is today.

I truly believe I didn’t choose SHY as much as SHY chose me. 💜

From student… to teacher… to owner… to celebrating 2 years at Lace Village.

I am so incredibly grateful for every chapter and, most of all, for all of you who are part of this story.
Here’s to everything we’ve built together and everything still to come. 🥂✨

With love,
Christine

✨ Please join us in giving a warm Steamtown Hot Yoga & Barre welcome to our newest instructor, Brianna! ✨

Brianna's journey with SHY began in 2013 as a student, and what started as a way to stay active quickly blossomed into a lifelong passion for yoga. Over the past decade, she has immersed herself in hot yoga while expanding her practice through Kundalini Yoga & Meditation, Level II/III Barkan Method, and other healing modalities.

Now, she's come full circle—returning to the very studio where she first stepped onto her mat to guide and inspire others.
Brianna is passionate about creating a welcoming space where every student feels encouraged to challenge themselves, breathe deeply, and leave feeling stronger, more grounded, and more connected.

🌟 Join us for Brianna's first class!�
