Aware Hot Yoga

Happy weekend, yogis! Beginning June 15, Julia-Grace’s Unheated Yin class will move to Mondays for the summer schedule. This grounding, restorative practice is the perfect complement to your summer movement routine and a great way to reset, recover, and recharge each week. Sign up on Momence or at AwareHotYoga.com. See you on the mat!

May 31 marks the 151st day of the year, a gentle reminder that we are well into the journey of 2026 and still full of opportunity to begin again. Fittingly, it is also National Smile Day. In yoga, a smile is more than an expression. It is a softening, a release, and a quiet invitation to be present. Sometimes the most powerful shift in a practice happens not in the deepest posture, but in the moment we unclench the jaw, relax the face, and remember to breathe with ease. As we move through this season together at , may we carry a little more lightness onto our mats and into our lives, one breath, one posture, and one smile at a time.

Slow down and reset before a new week begins. ✨

𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗻𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝟭𝟬 𝗔𝗠 for a 90-minute Hot 26 practice designed to work your entire body — every muscle, joint, and organ — through 26 postures and two breathing exercises.

Ann’s classes are grounded in intentional movement, proper alignment, and honoring where your body is each day. Whether you are brand new to yoga or returning to your mat, this practice meets you where you are.

Expect to leave feeling stronger, clearer, and deeply refreshed for the week ahead. 🤍
All levels welcome.

Weekend energy starts here. ✨

Before the plans, the restaurants, the errands, and the late nights, give yourself an hour to reset. A Friday class at Aware is the perfect way to close the week and head into the weekend feeling lighter, calmer, and more connected to yourself.

Come sweat with us, Winston-Salem. Bring a friend or come exactly as you are. 🤍

A NOTE FROM NIKKI //

Dear Aware Community,

As Aware continues to grow (something me and the Aware team are incredibly grateful for), I want to send a friendly but clear reminder about changing room etiquette so we can keep the experience beautiful for everyone.

When I designed Aware, I thoughtfully created the changing rooms to feel elevated and spa-like - with organic, good-smelling shower products, complimentary shower towels, makeup removal towels, and little touches intended to make your experience feel special. It’s the kind of place I’d want to shower myself.

That said, two members this morning shared that they believed our 20-minute guideline meant 20 minutes of actual shower time. To be clear: it does not.

We ask that all members shower and exit the studio within 20 minutes of class ending. If there’s a line for the showers, we will allow a little wiggle room.

A few additional expectations so we can keep this experience working for everyone:
- Please shower efficiently and exit promptly.
- Please do not use Aware’s shower facilities for shaving, waiting for hair treatments or facial masks, or extended personal grooming.
- Please limit towel use to one shower towel, two maximum if absolutely necessary. If you regularly need more than that, please bring additional towels from home.
- Please be mindful with complimentary items.

Also, Aware has more members than ever before, and we are missing more courtesy items than ever before as well. Complimentary amenities are here for your use while you’re at the studio - not to stock your home bathroom. This includes items like tampons, hair ties, towels, and other courtesy supplies.

I created Aware to feel generous, welcoming, and a little luxurious. Please help us preserve that experience by using these offerings respectfully.

Thank you for being part of this community and helping us care for the space together.

With appreciation,
Nikki
