It honestly feels like such a blessing to be part of the Encompass family. Michelle and Mark are invested in the health and well-being of everyone in their ‘extended family’ and are there to help with movement, diet, lifestyle, mindfulness- you name it, they’ve got your back. Can’t recommend them highly enough 🙏

I can’t say enough about this studio. The two sides complement each other. They have been with me through my life stages, Mark when I’ve wanted to focus more on strength and fitness and Michelle post pregnancy when I’ve wanted to decompress and work on stretching and flexibility. They are both very holistic, nurturing and supportive.

Absolutely loved our first stretch class and we'll be back. Felt great the next day and this class is very much needed to lengthened and loosen.

Michelle and Mark have created the most wonderful and all-encompassing (pun intended!) safe space for literally anyone and everyone to do their own thang! They just have health in a nutshell so right. No matter what kind of day youre having, they will always be able to cater to your every need. Two beautiful, fun-loving, cheeky, understanding, real AF, woke AF, no-BS kinda people running a yoga & movement studio; there is no place I would rather be! I will be following them wherever they go. Heres to a lifetime of health, happiness, knowledge and to moving out of our heads and into our hearts
