Nestled between Mel’s and Taco Del Mar, the 2,100-square-foot space features two fully equipped studios and KidJoy, a child care room.

Cubbies for shoes, backpacks and purses line a corner of the entryway, and unique gifts and cards from “Inspired By” line nearby shelves. These are available for purchase courtesy of their retail partner, local author/speaker Deanna Davis and her team at Applied Insight.

Desautel and Douville hope this space will become an oasis of calm and serenity in rapidly growing North Spokane.

Yoga has long been part of Desautel’s life.

“Everyone in my family has arthritis, so I was always stiff,” she said. “I do yoga almost every day. It keeps me flexible and helps with balance.”

She introduced it to her daughter when Douville was a teen, but it was when Douville became a busy mom that she really began to appreciate the benefits of yoga.

“I did prenatal and postnatal yoga with both kids,” she said. Full story. Cindy Hval/SR
