Art & Soul Experiences yoga studio now open in Gulfport

GULFPORT, Miss. (WXXV)- A new yoga studio in Gulfport is giving the community a space to focus on their wellness with classes designed for different ages, experience levels, and goals.

WXXV News 25’s Asia Ellis brings us along to see what Art & Soul Experiences has to offer.

Art & Soul Experiences is a brand-new yoga studio on Pass Road in Gulfport, offering classes that support both mental and physical wellness. For those ready to give it a try, your first class is free. Owner Hastings Weydeveld said, “Sometimes we have trauma trapped in our body, so when we stretch and breathe, we allow that pent up energy to be released. Sometimes it shows up as crying, laughter, and sometimes it shows up as a big sigh. We’re just a safe place that’s welcoming to everyone from all different walks of life and we have several different teachers.”

The studio offers a variety of classes, including yoga, strengthen training, and family flow with free ice cream for kids, along with free spiritual Sunday classes every week. Dr. Ed Mink said, “So much of the illnesses like heart disease, diabetes, that are the number one killer of people are what we call lifestyle illnesses. What this studio has to offer is not only yoga, but an introduction to lifestyle modification in terms of mindfulness and meditation that can help manage stress.”

Right now, one month of unlimited classes is just $100 with only eight spots left.
