Let's celebrate

Ivory Howard

As we close the doors on our pop-up studio experience on October 15, my heart is overflowing with gratitude and joy for what we've created together.

What an incredible journey it's been. When I first opened this pop-up studio, I dreamed of building a welcoming community where students could deepen their practice, connect authentically, and find moments of peace in their busy lives. You didn't just help us achieve that dream – you exceeded it in every possible way.

Together, we've:

  • Shared countless hours of mindful movement and breath

  • Created a space where everyone felt welcome, regardless of experience level

  • Explored new poses, breathing techniques, and meditation practices

What made the pop-up truly special wasn't just the physical space – it was each and every one of you. Your dedication, openness, and willingness to show up authentically created the warm, supportive atmosphere that defined this studio. You turned a temporary space into a true sanctuary.

The conversations before and after class, the way you welcomed newcomers, your commitment to your personal growth, and the genuine care you showed for one another – these are the moments to treasure forever.

While the physical doors are closing, our community is stronger than ever, and I’m incredibly excited to continue growing together in our virtual space.

Virtual Live Classes: Experience the same quality instruction and community connection from wherever you are. Our interactive format means you'll still feel that sense of togetherness we've cultivated.

Online Course: Dive deeper into your practice with our comprehensive online program, designed to support your growth whether you're a beginner or looking to advance your skills.

The same heart, intention, and personalized attention you've come to expect will continue to flourish in our online offerings. Plus, you'll have even more flexibility to practice when it works best for your schedule.

Although pop-ups aren’t forever, this isn't goodbye. It’s simply the next chapter of our journey together. I’m grateful that technology allows us to maintain the connections we've built and welcome new students into our growing online community.

Your virtual mat is waiting, and I can't wait to see your familiar faces on screen and continue supporting each other's growth and transformation.

Thank you for making the pop-up dream a reality. Thank you for your trust, your vulnerability, your laughter, and your presence. Thank you for proving that yoga truly is about connection – to ourselves, to each other, and to something greater.

The memories we've created in our physical space will live on, and the community we've built will continue to thrive online. I’m honored to have shared this special time with you and excited for all the virtual adventures ahead.

I know change can feel uncertain, and I’m here to support you through this transition. Please don't hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for being part of this yoga journey. Your presence, energy, and commitment to your practice have made this pop-up studio experience truly special. I look forward to continuing to practice together online and supporting your yoga journey in new ways.



Welcome to Soda City Pop-Up Studio in Columbia, SC

Ivory Howard

The fitness industry has changed so much since I started teaching 18 years ago. It changed even more during COVID quarantine. And it continues to change to adapt to balance convenience and connection and meet diverse needs of clients.

As my clients feel safe again in public spaces again and crave social connection, my services have also changed. I’m welcoming back in-person classes … in my new studio!

This studio in the BullStreet District of Columbia, SC will allow me to continue to serve busy women and help them workout consistently and reclaim their health with ease.

I’m on a mission to make sure that more women know that exercise and a plant-based diet can prevent many chronic lifestyle diseases and leading causes of death in the United States - a must-know for women in sedentary roles. And if you have a chronic disease, I want you to know that it’s not hopeless. You can live a long, healthy and active life.

I can now provide a safe and welcoming space that clients desire. Pilates and yoga are practiced by many different people with different body types and that diversity should be welcomed, visible and celebrated so that everyone feels welcome.

Not only are we going to be able to meet in person but this studio opening will also allow me lower prices for in-person and virtual sessions.

If you’ve wanted to work with me now is the time to lock in the lowest price before the price raises in 2025.

I hope this is a place where many women find their studio home in person or virtually, workout consistently, and live their healthiest lives.

You can look forward to:

  • In-person, live-streamed, and subscription-based classes

  • Short, flexible workouts that fit into your busy schedule

  • Beginner-friendly, low-impact, and accessible workouts for all fitness levels

  • Personalized feedback to tailor your experience

  • Monthly live events to provide value beyond the workouts

  • Chronic disease prevention

  • Mindfulness, breathing techniques, stress relief, and mental health support

  • Supportive, empowering community where women connect, share goals, and celebrate progress.
