Soulshine Yoga + Fitness

A new week means a new opportunity to move, breathe, and reset.

Whether you need strength, sweat, or stillness, there's a place for you on the mat this week.

Check the schedule and grab your spot!

Which ones are you coming to?

This week we want to introduce you to Bailey and we think you're going to love her story.

Bailey has lived in Adel for almost a year, having grown up in northwest Iowa where she spent her whole life before making the move. Last summer she married her husband Cade, and together they have a mini Goldendoodle named Ruby who we assume is the best dog in Adel 😉

Outside of Soulshine, Bailey stays busy coaching an AAU basketball program, going on walks, cheering on her younger siblings at their sports, and spending time with family on both sides- including two nieces and a nephew on Cade's side.
Her favorite indulgence? Coffee. Specifically finding new places and trying new drinks. We respect that deeply.

She doesn't have a favorite yoga pose yet, but she loves strength training. Which means she's finding her way into this community exactly as she should. On her own terms, at her own pace.

Why Soulshine? We'll let Bailey say it herself: "The people at Soulshine are so kind, welcoming, and encouraging. They push me to be my best while making every class so much fun."

We are so glad you're here, Bailey. Welcome home. 💛

📣 Our locally owned Adel studio is now hiring!

We have the most AMAZING MEMBERS, and we are on the lookout for credentialed yoga teachers to join our dynamic team of talented leaders. Share your interest with [email protected] 💛

🎉🎉 It's a great day to CELEBRATE this extraordinary human! Kimberly Borgstede Mattes joined Soulshine's 2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ Class Club this morning at Amy Hockenberry's mat pilates class! Kim has been the poster child for consistent attendance since she joined us, and it's incredible to see the gains she has made in strength, balance, mobility and endurance. We're so proud of you, Kim, and can't wait to cheer you on to your next milestone! 💛✨

We live in a culture that celebrates intensity.

The hardest workout. The longest run. The class that leaves you barely able to walk the next day. We treat those as the gold standard — proof that we really worked, really tried, really earned it.

But here's what we actually see in this studio, week after week:
The members who transform — physically, mentally, emotionally — are not the ones who go the hardest. They're the ones who come back. Consistently. At a pace their body can sustain. Week after week, month after month, even when life gets busy and the motivation isn't there.

Three classes a week for three months does more than one intense week every few months ever could. The science backs it up. And we see it play out in real people every single day.

Consistency builds the habit. The habit builds the practice. The practice builds the life.

You don't need to go harder. You need to keep going. 💛

All levels welcome. Every class has modifications. Come as you are — just keep coming back.

This July, every free will donation from Soul Flow goes to an organization that means a great deal to us. Not just because of the work they do, but because of where they do it.

The Crisis Intervention & Advocacy Center is located right across the hall from Soulshine at 911 Court St in Adel. We share a building with people who show up every single day for survivors of domestic abuse, sexual assault, violent crime, and homelessness. Their services are free, voluntary, and completely confidential.

Here is what your donation supports:

A 24-hour crisis hotline available every day of the year. Emergency and transitional housing for people who have nowhere safe to go. Legal and medical advocacy so survivors don't have to navigate the system alone. Safety planning, trauma-informed counseling, court accompaniment, and support groups. Prevention education for all ages across Dallas County and the surrounding region.

All of it run by people who chose this work because they believe every person deserves to feel empowered, safe, respected, and free. (One of them is a member at Soulshine!)

We are honored to support them this month.

Soul Flow is every Wednesday at 6:30pm here at Soulshine. Free will offering — give what you can. All are welcome, wherever you are in your faith or your practice.

Come Wednesday. Move. Breathe. Give something that matters right here at home. 💛

Happy 4th of July from all of us at Soulshine.🇺🇸

Today we're pausing to celebrate the freedom we get to enjoy every single day - the freedom to gather, to move, to build community, to live fully.

We are deeply grateful for the men and women who fought for that freedom. And we are grateful for this community - for every one of you who shows up, week after week, and makes Soulshine what it is.

Today is not a day for the mat. (Even though there is one explosive class this morning 😉) It's a day for cookouts and fireworks and the people you love most. Enjoy every single minute of it. ❤️💙💛

🎉🎉 The best way to start the week?! With a DOUBLE CELEBRATION!! Two of our favorite SOUL SISTERS joined Soulshine's 2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ Class Club this morning! Michelle Jerry Jenkins hit this incredible milestone at Cara's Barefoot Bootcamp and Chassidy Butler hit this awesome milestone at Julie's Warm Slow Flow. Both of these exceptional women bring great energy, laughter, love and encouragement to our wellness community and we are SO PROUD of all they have accomplished on their mats.

Please join us in congratulating Michelle and Chass for their commitment to their health and well-being. Well done, friends! SHINE ON!! ✨💛
