In this episode, Ashley chats with Stephani Jungmeyer, owner of Trailside Yoga and Beyond in Fayetteville, Arkansas, to explore her journey of building and rebuilding a yoga studio rooted in community, resilience, and trust.

Stephanie shares the behind-the-scenes reality of opening her studio without loans, relying on friends, family, and a whole lot of DIY spirit to bring her vision to life. What started as a grassroots effort became a space filled with genuine love because the community quite literally helped build it.

After 10 years in business, Stephanie faced an unexpected challenge when her building was sold, forcing her to relocate. What followed was a fast-paced, high-stakes transition: finding, purchasing, and renovating a new space without pausing classes. In the midst of uncertainty, she leaned deeply into her yoga practice, learning to release control, trust the process, and step out of her own way.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that yoga isn’t just something we teach. It’s something we live, especially when things don’t go according to plan.
