About Toasty

We have been open for six weeks now, and already I’m seeing something inspiring take root in our students. There is a real desire to grow. Students are asking thoughtful questions, showing curiosity about more challenging postures, and looking for ways to deepen their practice beyond simply moving through a class. That has put me in a reflective mode as I think back on my own yoga journey. For much of the last 20 years, yoga was something I did because I knew it was good for

The last week of construction is complete… and I am full of emotions. Having worked in the architectural industry for the last two decades, the studio’s construction phase was something that felt comfortable and familiar. Sprinklers need to be redone? Sounds about right. Reception desk stuck on a boat in the Pacific? Don’t worry about it. But this last week of construction has been something different entirely. It’s been a wave of emotions.

We’re having fun with it, but we’re also so thankful we aren’t the ones doing the work (we have video proof that we tried , though). Below are some photos from our day one of construction, plus a little reminder of where we started and where we are going. Let's start with a reminder of what we started with: And here's where we were during day one demo: Lastly, a reminder of

An update on our studio build out progress!

We’ve been busy over here at Toasty Asana – and we are thrilled to finally share a peek at where things are headed! Our lease is officially signed, the design has been envisioned and stamped, equipment orders are underway, and once our permits are finalized… the sledgehammers will start swinging . This project has been years in the making, and seeing our ideas turn into real drawings and plans has been surreal. What was once an unused space sitting quiet for several years is
