April Newsletter - Spring Has Sprung!
Welcome to April Yogis!
Guess what? It's Gather's 8th Anniversary on April 5th! We can not believe it has been eight years since we opened our doors. We are incredibly grateful and honored that you have chosen us as your yoga sanctuary over these past years. We couldn't have done it without you!
Please join us in celebration on Monday, April 5th! We will be having a one day sale in the boutique, 25% off everything! Also, we will have treats and juice from our local favorite spot, 5B Fruit! Stop by or hang after class to celebrate the amazing place that is Gather Yoga!
Are you ready for bigger classes?
As we fully welcome spring into our lives, we hope that we will be seeing more faces coming out of their winter hibernation! We're hoping to get class sizes increased soon so that we can enjoy our big community once again! Stay tuned for changes happening in the near future!
Mask Reminder!
Now that the Covid vaccine is going to be widely distributed throughout the state of Idaho, we expect that many of our yoga friends will start to feel more comfortable rejoining us in-person. Please remember, that even after you are vaccinated, we ask that you continue to wear your mask when you enter the studio and until you reach your mat. Once the city lifts its mask mandate, we will re-evaluate our mask rules in the studio!
Keep Registering Early!
With many friends returning, classes are once again filling up well ahead of time. Please remember to register for your class early, and if you can not make it to class let us know ASAP! If you need to cancel, send an email to gatheryogastudio@gmail.com so we can open up a space for someone else. If you do not show up for class or do not notify us 60 minutes before class starts, we will enforce our cancellation policy and you will be charged for class.
Stay Tuned!
With the warmer weather approaching, we are starting to figure out how we can offer outdoor classes again this summer. We will let you all know when we decide on location, dates, and times! If you have a favorite class that you would love to have outside, chat with your instructor, Kelsey, or Danielle! We are open to suggestions!

This month, we have a lot of bright, spring colors from Alo and Split59 in the boutique. This stuff is high quality and absolutely beautiful! Check out what we have before or after class.
Have you met our new front desk ladies?
Meet Flora Macgregor!
Flora is originally from Aspen, CO but has been living in the UK for the past 10+ years. She found Sun Valley after touring through the Sawtooths last summer. She fell in love with the area and decided to make it home. Flora loves yoga but also enjoys skinning up the mountain, hiking and swimming in the summer. She also can be found foraging for wild plants, home crafting herbal remedies, and taking photographs of nature.
Meet Lauren Cord
Lauren is a Sun Valley native! Yoga became a big part of Lauren's life after she left her competitive gymnastics career. She found that yoga really helps her to center herself and heal her chronic injuries from such a high impact sport. Lauren got her 200 YTT certification when she was 20 years old, and will be adding a class to the schedule starting April 15th! Join her for Power Vinyasa every Thursday at 12pm. When Lauren isn't at the studio she is hiking, cooking and exploring this beautiful place we call home!
Flora and Lauren are a HUGE reason why Gather is kept so clean. Next time you see them in the studio, thank them for all their hard work!
NEW CLASS ALERT!
Join Allie Johnson every Tuesday at 6:30am for Awakening Flow
This class is based on the vigorous vinyasa style classes by Patrick Beach. Patrick created the progressive Awakening Yoga system to develop arm and core strength, increases your range of motion, and promote deeper flexibility. This class is ideal for the intermediate yogi who is looking for accessible and creative sequences that take your asana in new directions while pushing you to overcome mental obstacles. Our practice will always close with a reflective savasana. This class is heated to 95 degrees.
This class is going to be the BEST WAY to start your day!
Awakening Flow will start on the schedule starting Tuesday, April 13th.
