Flexible memberships, guided experiences, and event hosting set it apart. Prepares users holistically (hydrate, consult MD if needed). Co-ed with clothing required; promotes resilience, gratitude, and non-judgmental self-talk per blog insights. Stands out for fostering intuition, connection, and peak performance in a welcoming Florida studio setting.
