About Us

We are thrilled to announce our grand opening in downtown Apex, in April 2025, located at 510 Upchurch St, Suite 102 (the new building down the street from Utica Bakery)!

At our studio, you’ll benefit from a truly exceptional movement foundation. In addition to teaching yoga since 2015, Alexis and Frank Lech (also owners of nearby Ignite Fitness) bring a combined 35 years of strength and conditioning expertise to the studio. This deep-rooted understanding of biomechanics and fitness ensures a uniquely informed approach to every yoga class, blending strength, flexibility, and overall well-being.
