We are Michael and Alice - we moved to Leverett in 2020, and we are two humans who are very passionate about cultivating spaces for people to experience the best versions of themselves. We are thrilled to invite you to join us in opening this sanctuary for health and well-being!

We envision Resonance as a place to be in community with others who are making the choice to show up for themselves, to commit to breathing and moving into their best possible lives, and to making that change together.

Michael is a yoga teacher and massage therapist who deeply believes in the power of consistent yoga and meditation practice. Alice builds community through the intersection of art, people, and music. Earlier this year, after looking at a number of places that didn’t feel right, Mike saw an empty commercial unit for lease right next to the Big Y in the Amherst Shopping Plaza - 5 minutes away from where Alice works (at UMass Amherst). And he immediately knew - this is the place, this is the time. Fortune was on our side, and after months of negotiations, we were able to break ground on the build out in early June 2024. Since then, we’ve been hard at work all summer transforming the space from an abandoned clothing store into Resonance Hot Yoga + Massage. With the help of an amazing build team, we’ve installed heating panels, laid down the floors, constructed walls, and now have a beautiful space ready to be enjoyed by all.

Perhaps you’ll stop in for a class after work, or before doing your groceries…
Or maybe you’ll take the bus from campus and take a class before dinner…
Or decide to get a massage during a stressful week…

We want to make it as easy as possible for you to choose you.
Every day, every week. Every month of the year.

That’s one of the reasons we chose this location —
we know it’s so much more possible to choose to do something good for yourself if it’s not so hard to get there.
And once you get there, that it’s okay to be yourself, and move into a deeper understand of who that is.
This is our hope, mission, and dream for you and for us.

On our opening weekend, we’ll be hosting free yoga classes and the doors will be open for you to come in, hang out, meet us, and feel into Resonance. The doors will always be open every Monday-Friday morning for anyone to come and meditate before starting their day. And that will always be free and available for you.

We can’t wait to see you there!
