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.
