Holidays are magical, but let’s be real—they can leave you feeling sluggish and bloated. Ready to shake it off and feel human again? Here are my top three tips to bounce back fast (and laugh at the holiday overindulgence while you’re at it):

1. Hydrate!

Water is your secret weapon against bloat. Think of it as a spa day for your insides—flushing out all that extra sodium from holiday treats. Bonus points if you add a squeeze of lemon to your morning glass—it’s like a love letter to your digestion.

2. Move Your Body

No need to go full-on Rocky montage. A brisk walk or a Yoga Studio 90 class (wink, wink) will do the trick. Movement gets your circulation going and helps your body say, “Thanks, I needed that!” Feel free to throw on a weighted vest or HOT wrap to burn even more. Trust me, your future self will be doing a victory dance.

3. Eat Clean

It’s time to retire the cookies and casseroles for now. Bring on the fresh veggies, fruits, and lean proteins. Anti-inflammatory foods like leafy greens and berries are superheroes for your gut—cape not included.

Start small—even one of these tips will make a difference. Remember, it’s not about perfection; it’s about progress. When you’re ready for a reset, book a class at Yoga Studio 90. Search for us on Google using keywords like “Yoga Studio 90 near me,” “best hot yoga classes,” or “yoga for holiday bloat relief.” Let’s crush those post-holiday blues together! (Psst… Google us: “Yoga Studio 90 near me.”)

Meet me on the Mat!

As I sit down to reflect on 2024, I am overwhelmed with gratitude and joy. What a year it has been for Yoga Studio 90! This small hot yoga studio, built with the dream of bringing innovative workouts that renew the mind, body, and soul, has grown beyond anything I could have imagined.

This year, we expanded into West Feliciana Parish—what a milestone! Not only are we sharing our passion with a new community, but we’re also creating jobs and new roles, proving that even a small boutique studio can make a BIG impact.

For 14 years, you—our loyal members—have trusted us with your wellness journeys. That trust is not something I ever take for granted. Every class you attend, every goal you achieve, and every moment you spend with us fuels our mission and fills my heart.

To my amazing team, thank you for your dedication and your willingness to grow deeper alongside me. And to our members—thank YOU for letting us walk this journey with you. You’ve shown us that Yoga Studio 90 isn’t just a studio; it’s a family.

From my family to yours, I want you to know how deeply thankful I am for your support and trust. Together, we are building something truly extraordinary.

Whether you’re still adjusting to the new school year routine, ready to reset after a busy summer, or simply seeking balance as the holiday season approaches, fall offers the chance to refocus on what truly matters—your health and well-being. Just as nature prepares for renewal, now is the ideal time to align your mind, body, and spirit with your goals.

To help guide your fall wellness reset, we’ve rounded up a few trusted local resources, from nutritional experts to mental health support, that can offer the tools you need to thrive this season.

Our Trusted Wellness Tribe

We proudly seek out and build relationships with other local wellness providers that can be a resource to our members for this reason. Some that we’ve come to call our “Wellness Tribe” include:

Sync Wellness

Led by a team of seasoned medical professionals, SYNC Life is a trusted partner in optimizing health and happiness through integrative medicine. With treatments and personalized lifestyle plans from IV therapy and infrared sauna services to professional-grade supplements and regenerative aesthetic services, they don’t just treat symptoms – they uncover the root of the problem. When you to take control of your health, you can stop settling for normal and aim for optimal!

Arnold Nutrition

Kylie and her team at Arnold Nutrition help you look and feel your best, while still being able to indulge in a little jambalaya here and there, and during this time of year, we know you’ll want to make sure you can still squeeze in all your favorite Southern comfort foods while still working towards your goals! If you’re looking for clarity and confidence in yourself and your food choices, Arnold Nutrition can help, whether it’s by joining The Southernly Nourished Krewe for online access to courses, trainings and local food guides, or signing up for 1:1 coaching for a personalized plan and accountability partner.

Chaos Organizing

Chaos Organizing is a team of Professional Organizers in Baton Rouge with over a decade of transforming busy homes into peaceful spaces for families. If you’re tired of being overwhelmed with your home and feeling like you never have a chance to rest, taking control of your spaces with decluttering and organizational systems can be a life-changer! When we feel comfortable and at ease at home, we lower our stress from the inside out so our bodies can get the rest it needs to recharge.

The Well Clinic

The Well Clinic helps you find your path to wellness with comprehensive mental health services, from counseling to medicine and Neurofeedback. Their integrated approach treats you as a whole person – the physical, psychological, relational, cultural, and spiritual aspects of you who are – so they can provide mental health treatment as individualized as you are. Fall and winter can be some of the toughest times for those struggling with their mental health, so if you’ve noticed you’re not feeling like your best self or are fighting thoughts and feelings that are difficult to manage, there’s no better time than now to reach out.

These local businesses are meeting the needs of so many individuals who want to live well in every sense of the word. That’s why we want to encourage you to research and reach out to the ones that are speaking to you in this season – it just takes one small step to set big changes into motion!

Wellness Resources in Action

Have you ever thought you could use some help dialing in your nutrition? One of our long-time Yoga Studio 90 members reached out to Arnold Nutrition two months ago with a simple goal: to lose a few pounds. What she was doing in the studio was certainly helping, but she knew the missing puzzle piece was her nutrition. What she gained by connecting with Kylie at Arnold Nutrition was far beyond just weight loss. She discovered new insights about her body that have propelled her success, leading to incredible results. She’s down on the scale, but more importantly, she now has the energy to power through her days – no more afternoon slumps, and she no longer wakes up tired. She’s truly thriving from the inside out, and that’s exactly what our mission at Yoga Studio 90 is all about!

Coming Soon: Lunch and Learn

Personally, I’m a big believer in the power of time spent on the mat with our incredible classes combined with investing in the care of my mind and body. Making sure my hormones and gut health are in check, and staying eager to learn more about fueling my body, has been key to my own wellness journey. These ingredients – caring for both physical and mental health – are what help us thrive, and that’s why I trust our wellness partners so deeply.

If you’re interested in learning more about how these resources can help you live well, I invite you to join us for a special Lunch and Learn on Tuesday, October 22 from 11:30AM to 1PM. You’ll have the chance to meet the owners of Sync Wellness, Arnold Nutrition, Chaos Organizing, and The Well Clinic and learn how they can support your wellness journey. More information on this event will be coming soon, so mark your calendars and be sure to subscribe to our emails and follow us on Instagram and Facebook to get all the details!

Until then, let’s continue to prioritize our wellness and stay on this path of thriving together.

I’m April Hill, the proud owner of Yoga Studio 90, and today I want to share with you the incredible benefits of practicing hot yoga, especially during the summer months. Hot yoga can seem intimidating, but it’s one of the most rewarding practices you can incorporate into your fitness and wellness routine. Let’s dive into why hot yoga is a game-changer, especially when the temperatures rise.

What is Hot Yoga?

Hot yoga involves performing a series of yoga poses in a room heated to around 95-105 degrees Fahrenheit. The heat helps to increase flexibility, enhance detoxification, and promote greater cardiovascular activity. It’s a practice that challenges both the body and mind, leaving you feeling rejuvenated and energized.

Why Practice Hot Yoga in the Summer?

1. Enhanced Flexibility

The summer heat, combined with the warm environment of a hot yoga studio, makes your muscles more pliable. This increased flexibility allows for deeper stretches and poses, reducing the risk of injury and improving overall performance.

2. Detoxification

Sweating is your body’s natural way of detoxifying. During a hot yoga session, you’ll sweat more, which helps to flush out toxins and impurities from your skin and body. This detoxification process can lead to clearer skin, improved circulation, and a boosted immune system.

3. Increased Calorie Burn

Practicing hot yoga in a heated room increases your heart rate and metabolism, leading to a higher calorie burn compared to regular yoga. It’s an excellent way to stay fit and maintain a healthy weight during the summer.

4. Mental Resilience

Hot yoga not only strengthens your body but also your mind. The challenging conditions teach you to stay calm, focused, and composed, even when things get tough. This mental resilience can translate into other areas of your life, helping you handle stress and challenges more effectively.

5. Improved Hydration Habits

Hot yoga requires you to stay well-hydrated. This practice helps you develop a habit of drinking more water, which is essential for overall health, especially during the hot summer months.

Tips for Practicing Hot Yoga in the Summer

1. Hydrate Properly

Ensure you drink plenty of water before, during, and after your hot yoga session. Consider adding electrolytes to your water to replenish the minerals lost through sweat.

2. Dress Appropriately

Wear lightweight, moisture-wicking clothing that allows your skin to breathe and sweat to evaporate. Avoid heavy or restrictive clothing that can trap heat.

3. Listen to Your Body

Pay attention to how your body feels during the session. If you start to feel dizzy or lightheaded, take a break, sip some water, and rest in child’s pose until you feel ready to continue.

4. Gradually Acclimate

If you’re new to hot yoga, give yourself time to adjust to the heat. Start with shorter sessions and gradually increase the duration as your body becomes more accustomed to the temperature.

Happy summer y’all,

Embrace the Season with Outdoor Yoga

There’s nothing like practicing yoga under the open sky. Our outdoor yoga sessions are designed to help you connect with nature, boost your mood, and soak up some vitamin D. Imagine starting your morning with a gentle yoga flow on a serene beach or in a lush park, breathing in the fresh air, and feeling the sun’s warmth. It’s the perfect way to start your day with positivity and energy.

Refresh Your Routine with Our Summer Workshops

Summer is the perfect time to try something new. We’re offering a series of workshops tailored to women aged 35-45, focusing on everything from mindfulness and meditation to advanced yoga techniques. These workshops are not only a fantastic way to deepen your practice but also a great opportunity to meet like-minded women and make new friends.

Find Balance with Special Summer Classes

At Yoga Studio 90, we understand that summer can be a busy time, with kids at home and vacations on the horizon. That’s why we’ve created a flexible schedule with classes designed to fit seamlessly into your summer lifestyle. Whether you prefer early morning sessions to start your day off right or evening classes to unwind after a long day, we’ve got you covered.

Indulge in Self-Care with Our Wellness Programs

Self-care is essential, especially during the summer months when life can get hectic. Our wellness specialty classes  programs, including symposiums and workshops, are designed to help you feel your best inside and out. Take a break from the hustle and bustle and treat yourself to some well-deserved pampering.

Here are a few tips to help you get in shape for the summer:

Make a plan and lean on discipline, not motivation:

Let’s get right to it: through years of training countless members, we have seen that consistently showing up to class (in studio or online) 4 or more days per week will create the long and lean body you are looking for.

We know that’s a big commitment, and some weeks will be harder than others to step on the mat. That’s where your planning and discipline can kick in when motivation is lacking. Many of our classes are under an hour, and you deserve that time! Make a commitment to prioritize yourself and your health, and create routines that help you stick with it when you’re feeling tired or not in the mood. Pre-scheduling your classes for the week on Sunday evenings, laying out your workout clothes the night before, and keeping a water bottle in the fridge that’s ready to go are just a few ways you can cultivate a healthy and consistent habit of showing up on the mat.

Listen to your body when it comes to nutrition:

You’ll notice that your class attendance even begins to influence your food choices, and your body (if you are eagerly listening) will guide you: “drink more water! Less salt. Don’t choose the enchiladas – you know it’ll rise up in the middle of class!”  This self awareness helps you make better nutritional choices, which in turn will help you reach your fitness goals.

Don’t forget to take hydration into account as part of your nutrition, too. If you’re showing up for our heated studio classes, this is even more important. Proper hydration is about more than just getting enough water – it helps with muscle recovery, cell turnover, feeling full and even boosting your metabolism, so don’t skip out on it!

If you show up, choose fresh foods, get enough protein (which we can help guide you) and drink 75 + ounces of water, we promise you’ll see and feel the changes!

Keep a journal and celebrate small wins:

Speaking of listening to your body, we are big believers in tracking, and that includes your mindset. It doesn’t have to be complex, either. We love a good ‘ole journal for this, and we encourage keeping track of some key metrics as well as how you feel. If you’ve had a RECENTER session with April or you’ve been around YS90 for awhile, you may already know how much we love and recommend My Little Black Book for this!

Yes, it’s important to note the numbers like your starting weight and measurements, but documenting how you feel when you work out (or when you don’t work out!), the changes you’re noticing, the foods that make you feel good, and your mindset will all help you see how far you’ve come. Celebrating small wins is key to staying on track with your goals, and keeping a journal is a great way to do that.

Be flexible and give yourself grace:

It’s not easy to stay on track, especially during the oh-so-busy Spring season! All of these things are important to cultivating consistency and working towards your goal, but don’t forget to give yourself a little grace and flexibility too. We love our OnDemand library for those busy weeks when we just can’t get to the studio, or when we’re traveling and on the go. And if you miss a class or two in the process, don’t sweat it – just hop back into your routine and keep making forward progress!

While the calendar switching over isn’t a magic button, it is a great time to reflect, recenter, and renew priorities. Everyone talks about New Year’s Resolutions, but how can we establish healthy habits that really LAST this year? Read on to see a few of our ideas.

1.  Embrace a fresh start.  A clean slate is inviting like a good welcome mat.
2. Know your numbers. Be aware of important facts like your weight, cholesterol, finances, etc. These numbers don’t define you, but knowledge is power! Knowing your numbers gives you a baseline to measure against, keeps you accountable to your goals, and helps you quickly pivot if something goes off kilter.  
3. Watch your mouth! We’re talking about both what’s going in and what’s coming out. An awareness of both will help you make better choices. Here are a few things to consider: Is what you’re eating FUEL for your body? How will it make you feel in about 1-2 hours? Is this item moving you closer to my goal? What about your words that are coming out? Do your words beat you down or build you up? It’s up to YOU to build YOU up! Speak life. 
4. Care for your body & nourish your 5 senses. Celebrate the simple steps of each day – you are worth it! Even small acts can help nourish your mind, body, and soul. At the studio, we kicked this practice off on New Year’s Day! The first 20 people in class received a small gift including a powerful essential oils shower bomb. This was designed to pamper the body and the senses with the simple everyday task of a shower – it really is the little things that add up!
5. Sleep and stretch. These two important acts complement each other so well! We know we need rest, but stretching also helps the body relax, increase blood flow, and prevent injury or decrease stubborn body aches and pain. If you struggle to fall asleep, consider adding some simple stretches before going to bed. When you wake, start with a few light stretches to increase blood flow to your muscle groups and help prevent injuries.
