A Studio Built on Passion, Love & Community

Our Story

We start with a shared dream to bring people together though the power of movement

Essence of Movement Studio was born from the shared passion of a husband-and-wife team, Juaquin and Yvette, who believe movement should feel welcoming, inspiring, and accessible.
