founding memberships are now live!

The wait is over! With our West Hartford studio opening this September 26, 2026 we're excited to launch our exclusive Founding Memberships that are available now!

Only 50 Founding Memberships have been released, and once they’re gone, they’re gone. These memberships include exclusive founding rates locked in for as long as you remain an active member, plus access to our soft opening before our official grand opening.

Memberships can be purchased directly through Walla.

Best of all, your membership doesn't begin until you take your first class, so you can lock in your rate now and start when we're ready to welcome you to the mat this September.

rachel gerould

Rachel came to yoga in 2016 during a season of searching for a way to manage anxiety and find her way back to herself. What started as a personal outlet quickly became something deeper: a grounding practice that reshaped not just how she moved, but how she lived. In 2021, she joined the teaching team at Sweatfluence (formerly Soul Sweat), and what began as a few early morning classes soon grew into a management role, then a full-time calling, pouring her energy into the studio and discovering her voice as a leader along the way.

Now Rachel is opening her own studio, West Hartford Sweatfluence, a reflection of years of dedication and belief in this practice and the community it creates. For her, yoga has always been about more than movement, it's about connection, resilience, and showing up for yourself. She recently relocated to the Farmington area with her husband, Peter, and their two dogs, and is excited to bring that same energy to West Hartford.
