Slow, breath-led practice in a sunlit room above downtown Carbondale. Small classes, warm tea after, and never a mirror on the wall.

The Week, Gently
Eight students at most. Every class ends with a long savasana — we do not rush the best part.
Wake the spine slowly as light comes through the east windows. Movement like water finding its level.
Forty-five minutes to undo the morning — shoulders, hips, and a mind that has been holding too many tabs open.
Unhurried holds and honest effort. You will be surprised what quiet work can build.
Long, supported poses in a room lit only by candles. Bring nothing. Leave softer.
Restorative practice, guided breathing, and ten full minutes of doing absolutely nothing, together.
Simple Pricing
Packs never expire. Share them with a friend if you like — we would rather the mat get used.
Once each season we close the studio for a single unhurried day: morning practice, a shared lunch, a walk by Campus Lake, and yin by candlelight to close. Next reset: Saturday, December 5 · $85, lunch included · 10 mats only.
Our Story
Stillwater began in 2019, in a borrowed dance studio with six mats and a kettle for tea.
Founder June Hartley had spent a decade teaching fast, loud fitness and wanted the opposite: a practice measured not in calories but in how you slept that night. Our studio on South Illinois Avenue keeps classes deliberately small, the music low, and the schedule spacious — because rest is not what happens after the practice. Rest is the practice.
Kind Words
“I arrived holding my breath without knowing it. By the second candlelight class, I could feel myself let go.”— Hannah L., Carbondale
“No mirrors, no competition, no one performing. Just a calm room and a teacher who notices when you need less.”— Priya N., Murphysboro
“The One-Day Reset did more for me than a whole vacation. I booked the next one before I left the building.”— Carol D., De Soto
