Monday means FAMILY SHUFFLE at 6 PM with the wildly inspiring and super-fun Rachel Shuffles . Bring your kids of all ages and pop in for just 20 bucks as a family! Or come either way and simply pay what you can. Our generous teachers really do just wanna see you and help you stay in movement with your family, so please do not let money be a factor. One of the greatest gifts we can give our kids is the practice of letting go and having fun with them while we establish confidence, kindness, and good health in mind, body and spirit.

Give it a try. What do you have to lose?

WE MISS YOU and your YOGA MAT does, too! We don’t have much storage space (and by that, we mean really any at all 😂), so please reach out if you forget your yoga mat. Or even better, simply come back to the studio and your practice!

*** Remember, we’re pay what you can whenever needed. We’d just love to see you!***

Comment below if you’d like to be first in the know when heirloom chrysanthemum bouquets drop this week for pickup at The Monarch in Hart.

These beauties feature the joy of the outdoors inside on our tables as we begin to snuggle in for the season. Follow A Garden in the Woods, our family’s organic farm, to learn more about our sustainable growing practices or what’s coming next at the Farm Stand in the studio.

These amazing movers were the first to test out the new AC with their one-on-one Shuffle Dance class this fall. Join Rachel (on left) on Mondays and Wednesdays at 6 pm to bring the heat to the dance floor, while you stay cool and comfortable learning her fun and fancy footwork. Drop in for Family or Adult Shuffle any or every week and your heart will be so happy that it did. Just ask Jodi (on the right:) or the others who join her. And stay tuned here for more updates on the Match on Main Street grant that Michigan Economic Development Corporation so graciously granted us in our first year of operation to make substantial improvements to our beautiful midcentury modern studio space in the former Robinson Building at The Monarch in Hart.

November calls us to a quieter schedule as many friends fly for warmer lands, and as we prepare for colder weather. While you will still find eight classes to meet your Yoga needs and lots of dance for all ages, we hope you’ll also consider joining us on Saturday, November 21 for a special celebration of our first full year in operation as The Monarch in Hart, in our initial chapter as solely a yoga and movement studio for the community. Stop by to say hello during either Laughter Yoga at 11, or for our live music with Shelby Mason at 11:30 serving as the soundtrack for a DIY Yoga Mat Spray workshop and community gathering. You’ll have the chance to sign up for our newly forming micro school, cooking class information and women’s and community circles as well as meet many of our instructors.

Coming in early 2027, we are thrilled to share that our plans include opening the Pentwater brick church that we won as part of Pitch for Parcel as a community theater, workshop, retreat, and wedding venue. While the details of that sale are still underway, we hope that you can enjoy weekly classes and several special events celebrating both the November Full Moon, and our first studio Anniversary where we plan to share more of our exciting collaborations. Be sure to reach out if you can’t make it in person, but if you want to be kept in the loop!

Thanks for being a part of our ever evolving story. We wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for you and you help to keep us moving forward every time you step through the door. Thank you for all of your continued support!

This is so exciting to see! Thanks to the many folks who have helped keep the Hart Historic Preservation Group alive and now, to those building its future.

Help keep the heritage of Hart’s historic downtown alive and well by coming out for events and getting involved wherever you can and please tell your friends!

A new Hart Historic Preservation Group board hosted its first meeting with its current members in late September, reported Hart City Manager Nichole Kleiner at the Oct. 13 Hart City Council meeting.

The city is also moving forward with a grant application in hopes of funding future infrastructure improvements.
