Meet the founder, Crystal ✨

Somehow, I’ve spent months introducing the studio, sharing the classes, and telling you about everything happening at Axis, but I’ve never formally introduced myself.

Yoga has been part of my life for nearly 30 years, and I’ve been teaching for more than 17. I’m a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher and an 800-hour Yoga Therapy graduate, as well as a Reiki Master, sound healer, and certified Sculpt and Pilates instructor. I’m also currently working toward my doctorate in Metaphysical Psychology.

But The Axis Studio didn’t come from a list of credentials.

It came from years of practicing, teaching, learning, and wanting to create something different. A small, welcoming studio where people are known by name. Where classes feel intentional and personal. Where movement can be strong, soft, sweaty, restorative, or anything in between. And where yoga never has to look a certain way.

My teaching blends strength, curiosity, breath, and connection. I want students to trust their bodies, take up space, and leave class feeling more connected to themselves than when they arrived.

When I’m not teaching, I’m probably making a playlist, planning my next trip, falling down an astrology or wellness rabbit hole, or dreaming up the next thing for Axis.

Creating this studio has been equal parts dream, terrifying leap, and labor of love. I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who has walked through the doors and trusted me to be part of their practice.

If we haven’t met yet, I hope we do soon. 💜

Welcome to The Axis Studio

To help create a peaceful, comfortable experience for everyone, please keep the following in mind:

• As a small boutique studio, we ask that all purses, bags, shoes, phones, and personal belongings be placed on the coat hooks before class.

• Please silence all phones, smartwatches, and alarms before entering the studio.

• Out of respect for the privacy of our students, recording during class is not permitted.

• Massage sessions may be taking place during class times. Please gather your belongings quietly and be mindful of noise when entering or leaving the studio.

• Our doors unlock 15 minutes before class begins. Because we do not have a waiting area, we kindly ask that you arrive within that window whenever possible.

• If you arrive early, please be respectful of our neighboring businesses and keep conversations quiet while waiting in the hallway.

Thank you for helping us maintain the calm, welcoming atmosphere that makes The Axis Studio special.

Small studio. Big respect. Thank you for helping us create a peaceful space for everyone. taken in Massachusetts/Longmeadow by @axis_longmeadow

That’s what Find Your Axis has always meant to me.

Not chasing perfect balance. Not becoming calmer, thinner, stronger, more flexible, or more “spiritual.”

It’s finding the place inside yourself that still feels steady when everything around you gets loud.

Sometimes that happens through movement. Sometimes stillness. Sometimes strength, sweat, breath, sound, or simply an hour where nobody needs anything from you.

Your axis isn’t a perfect place you arrive at.

It’s the place you learn how to return to.

Congratulations @wendi.l.jamison on being the first to 50 classes! Your continuous support, dedication, and (most of all) amazing energy bring so much joy to every class you’re in!

“I started going to yoga to ease pain and tension from autoimmune disorders and wound up finding myself on my mat. My practice has grown over the past two years and I have found a home at Axis studio in Longmeadow. I am more comfortable and confident in my body and my mind and have found my best self.” ~Wendi

I’m honored to get to watch your practice grow 💜

NYC and LA have plenty of yoga studios. We’re holding it down right here in Longmeadow. 💜😂

Locally owned, thoughtfully designed, and bringing a little boutique wellness energy to Western Mass.

Yoga, Sculpt, Restore & Sound Bath, and a whole lot of heart.

Come find your Axis. ✨

There’s something about fall that reminds us we don’t have to hold onto everything.

The trees change. The light shifts. What’s no longer needed gets released.

Maybe we’re allowed to do the same. 🍂

A little less doing.
A little more listening.
A little more turning inward.

Find your Axis. 💜

And I’d use five hashtags max, with a mix of local + relevant:

One of the hardest parts of marketing a yoga studio when you have a strict no-filming-students rule?

Apparently you’re supposed to have videos of people doing yoga. 😂

Aside from a few photos from our free preview class—where everyone knew ahead of time that we’d be taking photos—I don’t film students during class.

No phones coming out in the middle of your practice. No wondering if you’re in the background of a Reel. No realizing later that your downward dog is now content. 😂

When you come to The Axis Studio, your practice gets to be yours.

Does that make marketing the studio significantly harder?

Yep.

Am I changing the rule?

Nope. 💜

So until I figure out how to market a yoga studio without actually showing people doing yoga… please enjoy this video of me driving to work. 😂

Find your Axis.

Sometimes I get so busy running the studio I forget to take a moment and enjoy the studio.
So here’s to the dreams that become reality. by @axis_longmeadow

Reiki Level I + II Certification is now available through The Axis Studio.

Level I introduces the foundations of Reiki, self-treatment, energetic awareness, hand positions, ethics, and your Level I attunement.

Level II builds on that foundation with traditional Reiki symbols, distance Reiki, deeper energetic practice, and your Level II attunement.

I require a minimum of 21 days between Level I and Level II, giving you time to practice, integrate, and become comfortable with the work before moving forward.

Certification is included with each level.

Trainings are offered privately and in small groups on select dates, rather than through my regular appointment calendar.

Interested in training? Send me a DM or email to inquire about upcoming dates. Once your training is scheduled, registration and payment will be handled through The Axis Studio.
