Here’s Where You Can Try Aerial Yoga in Denver
Share
I have always loved to workout, and I absolutely love trying different exercises, challenging myself to learn new techniques, and setting fitness goals. My fitness goals are pretty simple: enjoy the workout. If I don't have fun or like what I am doing, I have a habit of pushing myself less and less—which isn't good for me. That's why I was excited to start using the MINDBODY app in Denver. The opportunity to try a variety of workout classes, studios, coaches, etc. has set me up for success because everything is right at my fingertips, which means no excuses!
Get the swing of things.
So far, I have tried Air Denver, an aerial yoga studio in downtown Denver. Classes here are a blast! I knew it wouldn't be easy, and it's definitely a workout. Flying in the air and being active all at the same time is no simple task. I was also drawn to the atmosphere and instructors; they radiate such positive energy. Plus, there is zero judgment!

Finding what moves me.
Using the MINDBODY app has helped me easily find unique workouts customized to my busy schedule as a working mama. It's great to find new types of exercise at any time of the day—and even be able to bring my kids to the studio’s childcare facilities, so I don't have to worry about finding a sitter! I also enjoy being able to branch out and meet other parents through the “mommy and me” classes that allow the kids to join in on a workout with you!
I am looking forward to finding more amazing spots using the MINDBODY app and can't wait to share the fun opportunities I find around Denver. MINDBODY is in a lot of other cities so if you aren't in the Denver area, make sure to check it out and see if you can find something new to challenge your routine!

Black-owned Beauty and Wellness Businesses to Know
Share
February is Black History Month—a celebration of the achievements and contributions of African Americans in society. As the beauty and wellness industry becomes a more welcoming and inclusive space for all, we are taking this opportunity to continue to shine a light on the gap of inclusivity and diversity in our industry, and take action to promote, empower, and honor the Black community that shapes and grows wellness.
While the beauty industry is making improvements—it's important to showcase and support Black businesses and the creatives in this space every day. To honor them, we're shouting out some of our favorite Black-owned beauty and wellness businesses to support.
1. Beauty Bin
Beauty Bin is a full-service day spa and dry bar located in Asheville, NC. With a focus on inclusivity for people of all backgrounds, genders, and races, their MO is to match the outer beauty of every client to their inner beauty. From eyelash extensions and hydrafacials to waxing and massage, Beauty Bin is a one-stop-shop for all the spa services.
2. KIKA Stretch Studio
The KIKA Method® is a gentle assisted stretching process that loosens up tight muscles freeing your body from pain and stress. By practicing this method, clients can experience decreased muscle tension, increased energy, enhanced flexibility, a substantial reduction in stress, improved posture and relaxation, and increased mental clarity. While its headquarters is located in Las Vegas, NV, they have multiple locations sprinkled throughout the US, including Atlanta, New York City, and Dallas—just to name a few.
3. Kimberly Coleman Salon
At Kimberly Coleman Salon, their philosophy begins with promoting healthy tresses, elegant sets, unique accouterments, perfect pampering of hands and feet, and precision cuts.

4. Pressed Roots
Pressed Roots was developed with the simple concept in mind—that everyone deserves access to easy, and quality hair care. What started as a single pop-up shop in Boston, grew to a multi-city pop-up tour, and is now slated to be the largest national hair salon franchise specializing in the care and styling of highly textured hair, they launched their first flagship location in Dallas, TX.
5. SW3AT
Jersey City resident, Alyza Brevard-Rodriguez started SW3AT. The company began as a fitness apparel line in 2015 but evolved into a sanctuary catered to health and wellness now known as SW3AT Sauna Studio—the first infrared sauna studio in Jersey City. The healing power of infrared heat therapy is a phenomenal option for holistic health proven to strengthen the immune system and provide relief from joint stiffness and muscle pain. It is also supportive of any fitness program as it aids in weight loss (you can torch up to 900 calories in a 45-minute session) while also detoxifying your body from some of the most harmful toxins.
6. The TEN Nail Bar
Kelli Coleman and Anika Jackson opened The TEN Nail Bar in Detroit to address a void in their city. They saw a need for a quality, modern nail bar that could also serve as a fun social space for Detroit’s residents and professionals. They designed the TEN to provide their clients with a #Perfect10 experience—where you can relax, enjoy music, a drink, your friends, a clean and precise manicure, and a much-needed break from all your hectic days.
7. Bettye O Day Spa
