A New Chapter for Gentle

When Gentle opened its doors in September 2024, it was the realization of a dream that Kate had carried in her heart for many years.

Built from the ground up, Gentle was created as a space for connection, movement, and community. What started as one person's vision quickly became something much bigger: a home for hundreds of students, teachers, conversations, practices, and moments of growth.

Over the past two years, Gentle has become a place where people come exactly as they are. Some arrive looking for strength, others for stillness, balance, friendship, or simply an hour to breathe. Together, we have built a community that continues to grow, and that is something truly special.

As Gentle enters its next chapter, we are excited to share that the studio has been passed into the hands of one of its own teachers, Alisa.

For Alisa, this transition feels deeply meaningful. Although yoga has been part of her life for many years, Gentle was where her teaching journey truly began. It was here that she taught some of her first classes, found her voice as a teacher, and experienced firsthand the power of this community.

When the opportunity arose to continue what Kate had built, the decision felt natural. Not because Gentle needs to become something different, but because what already exists is worth nurturing, protecting, and helping grow.

We want to take a moment to thank Kate for her vision, courage, and dedication. Creating a studio from nothing is no small feat, and the community that exists today is a testament to the care she has poured into Gentle from the very beginning.

The heart of Gentle remains the same.

We will continue to be a place where people can reconnect with themselves, move with intention, and feel welcome exactly as they are. At the same time, we are excited for what lies ahead. New ideas, new classes, new experiences, and new ways to support our community are already beginning to take shape.

Most importantly, Gentle exists for the people who walk through its doors. Your experiences, feedback, and wishes matter to us. If there is something you would love to see at the studio—a class, workshop, event, or offering—we would love to hear from you.

This next chapter is not just about a studio. It is about a community that continues to evolve, together.

Thank you for being part of the journey so far.

And here's to many more years of movement, growth, connection, and gentle moments ahead.

With gratitude,

The Gentle Team
