It really is that simple! 

If you’re craving somewhere you don't have to try so hard, where you can slow down and just be yourself, come join us at A Slow Studio.

If you’re into astrology, healing work and care about the future of humanity, you’ve found your people.

We're here to empower you, to encourage you to create a bubble of safety and exploration, to give you a space to slow down and reconnect. 

At A Slow Studio we offer so many opportunities that call you into stillness, into awareness, and we are ready to hold your hand and show you what it means to be a sacred rebel.

About the Studio

A Slow Studio has no classes, 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 connect, each and every time. We want this space 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

    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

    Rosemary Barria

    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.
