Boutique-yoga studio seeks to elevate daily living.
Boutique-yoga fusion studio ELVTD MVMT: Life Laboratory, is structured equally around personal and physical development to help members find purpose, passion and confidence to accomplish their goals. As a healing space, the company strives to optimize energy to help people enhance athletic performance and well-being through a mind-body balance.
“It [Elvtd Mvmt] was designed as a way to elevate life,” founder Jessie Syfko Ruof says. “It is not just the next level, but it is helping people to be able to enhance and expand their way of looking at the world of treating themselves and connecting themselves with other people.”
Creating connections through dialogue and movement, the studio ignites spiritual, emotional and physical change in members’ day-to-day lives.
“This is where you can come to experiment, to play with it and leave knowing what you are capable of doing,” Syfko says.
Located in the same facility as F45 Training, Syfko says having the two types of fitness services in one space allows for a better dynamic for an individual’s ever-changing body functions, because “different days call for different types of training,” she explains.
“It is the balance of yin yang in one space,” she says. “You can go from super peaceful, restored and calm to an ambitious, independent go-getter.”
As F45 focuses on the physicality of an athlete, ELVTD MVMT has an approach that unites mindset with movement.
Offering a variety of classes from slow-flow to peak intensity, each class has its own one-of-a-kind configurations combining meditation, technique and philosophy.
To create an inviting, yet intimate community, each class has a maximum of 10 members to enhance the personalized experience between active members and instructors.
Syfko hopes to continue solidifying the member community to build personalized experiences in the studio and eventually expand to larger workshop events. In addition, ELVTD MVMT is looking to develop an online membership to create the same inviting community for those that might not otherwise have access to the same resources.
“Intention is not enough to make change. Intention has to be put into action,” Syfko says. “Movement in the body creates movement in life.”
