Rustic Roots Yoga & WellnessRustic Roots Yoga & Wellness
About

Rooted in purpose. Grounded in practice.

Rustic Roots Yoga & Wellness is the manifestation of a lifelong commitment to discipline, community, and holistic growth. Founded by Michele Gaddis, the studio merges nearly three decades of high-level analytical expertise with a deep-seated passion for movement and equine-assisted wellness. The name itself, “Rustic Roots,” was envisioned by our partner and equestrian instructor, Katie Malanowski, reflecting our commitment to authentic, grounded growth.

We believe that true wellness requires both the focused precision of a consistent routine and the restorative freedom of nature. We offer a dual-environment approach to your journey.

The Studio

A dedicated, screen-free sanctuary for your daily practice. Here, we prioritize consistency and intentionality, offering small-group classes designed to build a sustainable, long-term foundation for your physical and mental health.

The Farm

Our philosophy

Resilience, forged in balance.

We built this dual-environment model intentionally. As a veteran-owned business, we understand that resilience is forged in the balance between rigorous routine and mindful connection. Whether you are a beginner stepping onto the mat for the first time or an experienced rider looking for expert instruction, you are walking into a space where your goals are supported by leaders who value your name, your progress, and your community.

Rooted in Routine. Rooted in Nature. Rooted in You.
