The new year brings a sense of reflection on the past and optimism for the future. It’s a time when individuals find themselves committing to growth and goals. But in today’s society of next-day deliveries, instant downloads, and such strong emphasis on productivity, it can be challenging to simply slow down and connect with yourself and each other.
Nestled in downtown Santa Ynez, SHiFT Studio is more than just a yoga studio—it's a nurturing space where the body, mind, and spirit come together to heal, rejuvenate, and thrive. This vision is driven by founder Brigette Braly’s passion for holistic healing, personal growth, and community.
We all share the common intention of finding balance in our lives. At the core of SHiFT’s philosophy is the idea of self-care and showing up for yourself. “You can’t pour from an empty cup,” says Brigette. “When you show up for yourself, you can better show up for the world around you.”
The space is designed to feel like a second home—comfortable, inviting, and filled with good energy. The deeply rich viridescent walls, delicate tin-tiled ceiling, and soft sunlight create a soothing atmosphere that sets the tone for what lies inside.
In addition to yoga and meditation, the studio provides holistic therapies, including:
Infrared Sauna: A deeply relaxing therapy that helps detoxify the body, reduce stress, and improve circulation.
Cold Plunge: A bio-hacking trend that helps to boost energy, reduce inflammation, and improve recovery.
Massage Therapy: Tailored to help release tension, promote healing, and restore balance in the body.
Brigette emphasizes, “Our goal is for people to keep returning because they’ve felt and seen the benefits in their day-to-day lives since having a practice. And to know that the collective group around you is here to do the same can bring a powerful sense of togetherness. A sense at our core we’re all longing for."
Take time for yourself in this new year—tune in, reconnect, and recharge…together. Whether you're navigating a tough week or celebrating a breakthrough, SHiFT Studio offers a peaceful space to explore your journey.
