EMBER TN

🎉 HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLAN! 🎉

Blan Williams’s heart, joy, and grounded energy shine through every time he enters the studio.

Whether he’s helping students build confidence on the pole or creating space to slow down and reconnect in yoga, Blan has a way of making everyone feel seen, supported, and capable. His thoughtful coaching, encouraging spirit, and genuine care inspire us to keep showing up, trying new things, and celebrating every step of the journey.

We’re so grateful to have you as part of the Ember family, Blan. We hope this year brings you as much joy as you bring to our community.

Ember Fam, help us celebrate Blan by wishing him the happiest birthday in the comments! 🎂🧡

Stars. Stripes. Stronger Bodies.🔥

It’s hot outside. It’s hotter in Ember.

Have you heard the news? 👀

Apparently… we have house rules. 🙃

When you have as many modalities as we do - and hundreds of people moving through the studio every week - a few simple guidelines help keep Ember running smoothly, safely, and welcoming for everyone.

The biggest summer reminder? ☀️

The Tennessee heat and humidity are doing the absolute most. Fresh clothes and deodorant are your friends. We’ve stocked every bathroom with spray deodorant if you need it! And while we’re at it, please go easy on the perfumes and colognes - your neighbor in class will appreciate it!!

The rest is easy:
✨ Show up on time.
✨ Put your phone away (unless your instructor invites you to film or snap a pic).
✨ Clean up after yourself.
✨ Be kind.

That’s it. Thanks for helping us keep the vibes immaculate. 🔥

If you’ve been taking classes at Ember lately, you’ve probably noticed a few new faces on the schedule… and if you’ve taken their classes, you already know we’re pretty lucky. 🔥🖤

Meet (or officially meet) three incredible humans who have recently become part of the Ember instructor team:

✨ Jerik Vester (JVFitness)
Fitness specialist, personal trainer, community builder, and all-around hype man. Jerik has a gift for helping people discover what they’re capable of while making fitness approachable, empowering, and fun.

✨ Dana Howe (Dana Howe)
Adventurer, outdoor enthusiast, and lover of movement in all its forms. Dana brings positivity, encouragement, and a sense of adventure that makes everyone feel welcome from day one.

✨ Sam Jacqueline (Sam Jacqueline 🪩 💪 🪄)
Trainer. Performer. Professional hype girl.
Sam brings energy, creativity, confidence, and enough enthusiasm to power a small city.

Different backgrounds. Different stories.

Same fire. 🔥

What we love most isn’t just what they bring to class - it’s who they are. They show up for this community, they care deeply about people, and they make Ember a better place simply by being part of it.

And the best part? They’re every bit as amazing as humans as they are instructors.

We’re so grateful they found their way to Ember, and we’re even more excited that all of you get to experience what makes them so special.

Drop some love below and tell us:
👇 Have you taken a class with Jerik, Dana, or Sam yet?

In a season of new beginnings, this one is bittersweet. 🤍

Our dearest Shawn, and her equally amazing wife Kate, have been given the opportunity to begin a new adventure out of state.

While we couldn’t be more excited for them, it’s impossible to put into words what Shawn has meant to Ember.

She’s been part of the heart of this community from the beginning. Her belief in this studio, her encouragement, her laughter, her friendship, and her incredible teaching have helped shape Ember into what it is today. Quite honestly, Ember wouldn’t be Ember without her.

Before they head off to their next chapter, Shawn will be teaching her final classes this Saturday:

✨ Pole Circuit — 10:00am
✨ Pole 1 — 11:15am

There are only a few spots remaining, and they will fill quickly. If Shawn has ever inspired you, challenged you, made you laugh, or helped you discover strength you didn’t know you had, let her know (and grab a spot in class if you can!)

We’re not saying goodbye.

We’re saying see you soon.

Shawn and Kate, we love you both endlessly. Thank you for everything you’ve poured into this community. We are better because of you.

And just so we’re all clear… if you don’t come back often enough, we’re absolutely showing up at your front door.

Drop a comment below and tell us what Shawn’s teaching has meant to you.

And raise your hand if you’re ready to sign up for a Shawn guest appearance…

(or preferably, her permanent return). 🙋‍♀️

Have you heard the news? 💍✨
