About the Studio

In a lot of ways A Slow Studio is the opposite of most movement gyms or yoga studios: no mirrors, no membership, no 30 day challenges, no high intensity classes and definitely no talk of diets or bikini bodies.

We are a matriarchal, collaborative community where healing is shared, self-defined and rooted in connection.

This is a place where we can all stop chasing the proverbial burn, sweat and hustle. Where we can slow down, be ourselves in a diverse, welcoming community.

Where we can find peace in our bodies and our minds.

We are not a typical studio. We are not interested in manipulating you into showing up. We refuse to manufacture urgency or put pressure on you to say yes before you’re ready.

We want you to make a conscious decision to walk through the door and show up to practice, each and every time. We want these practices to be accessible to everyone, no matter your financial capacity.

We reject hierarchy and exclusivity, embracing rest, authenticity, and mutual care for all, regardless of means. Every contribution sustains the spaces you heal in and the community you heal with. The space is sacred—and it is yours to explore and shape.

The Nest at A Slow Studio: modern, minimalist living room with white sofas, armchairs, circular woven rugs, and wooden walls illuminated by natural light through windows.

The Studio: studio with mats, bolsters, and cushions on a polished concrete floor, with wooden wall panels, a meditation gong, and a shelf with a Buddha statue and decorative objects, dimly lit.

Vivienne Miles

STUDIO OWNER
QUIET MIND PRACTICE

Vivienne is the owner and visionary of A Slow Studio. She self identifies as a rebel with a cause: to create a future that is fair and viable for all.
Childhood abuse led her to live a life of a victim until she started to wake up to her own agency and power. And while her repair work will never be fully complete, she is ready to share the fruits of her labor with you by holding space, inviting you to slow down and guiding you to your own genius… psst, you are your own guru.
Rosemary Barria

TAROT FOR HEALING
OPEN STUDIO
Rosemary believes healing comes from resonance between 2 or more people. At the age of 18, she left a restrictive cult and after years of healing, including through other childhood trauma, she decided to help others access their spiritual power.
Right now she does this through Tarot, energy work, archetypal embodiment, and listening. Rosemary has officially been serving others since 2017. She is committed to liberation practices and considers her healing work activism.
Betsy Hatch

SOFT STRENGTH
Betsy started her movement & strength training journey 15+ years ago in a tiny gym lifting heavy with her friends to pass the time and connect.
Her coaching focuses on showing up for yourself in whatever form that looks like and adding to your life, not subtracting. Her intention is to inspire a space that pushes past the "shoulds" and "have tos" to find something you genuinely look forward to participating in–ideally appreciating your body and all it can do for you.
Jes Robins

MINDFUL MOVEMENT
Jes is a leader and coach who weaves mace, mindset, movement, and a sprinkle of magic together to create an environment where you drop into your body, and learn to feel comfy AF commanding all their power.
In March of 2010, Jes was hit by a car going 73 miles per hour. This was the catalyst for many years of healing and change. She is a bold, direct and fiery person who leads with authenticity and is deeply rooted in helping others feel seen, heard and fu*cking unstoppable.
Andrea Freemyer

BREATHWORK
Andrea is a passionate, embodied somatic practitioner here to invite you back to your roots. Through a blend of Breathwork, embodiment exercises, nervous system education, and nature-based therapies, her focus is on strengthening and integrating mind + body, head + heart.
She is a homeschooling mom to a wild and curious Leo child and loves doing life with her partner. You can find them exploring nature, traveling, and hosting wellness retreats. Come journey with Andrea and find your way home.
Andy Venneman

BREATHWORK
Andy has been a breathwork facilitator for 4 years. He loves this for its simplicity and potential for profound transformation. His desire is to guide others into a deeper, more loving connection with themselves so they live more fully, freely and remember that they are Nature and belong here.
Andy has worked with children for 15+ years as tutor, teacher, and stage director; but his favorite way to interact with kids is self-discovery through playing, acting and venturing into the outdoors.
Tandi Hechler

QUIET MIND PRACTICE
Tandi is a nurse and space-holder for healing, a lifelong seeker, and a woman deeply committed to service. Her own healing journey has shaped the way she moves through the world, guiding her to create spaces where others feel safe, seen, and empowered.
She embraces life’s imperfection, knowing that we are all constantly learning and evolving. She believes the world needs more people in service right now, and she’s here to do her part—one grounded, heart-centered step at a time.
