Get Empowered at Pause + Purpose

Whether itโ€™s the stress of work, family, life or juggling all of the above, we could all use a sanctuary to process our feelings and connect. Thatโ€™s the kind of place Emily Vartanian-Tuttle, founder of the Westport, CT, mindfulness studio Pause + Purpose, was looking to create when she started meeting with friends in her home in 2019 for group sessions. Two years later, in December 2021, she opened Pause + Purpose, which offers classes like Flow, which focuses on yoga and meditation, and Release, which prioritizes rest.

One of their popular classes is the 75-minute Empower ($28), which includes a workout (think: elements of HIIT, pilates and other styles) with great music and a journaling session included. โ€œAll of our classes have some element of writing, and thatโ€™s something everyone should have in their tool kit,โ€ she says. She hopes students walk away with โ€œa sense that the world is a friendly place and weโ€™re here to help each other.โ€ She wants participants to feel safe and to leave the class thinking โ€œeverything Iโ€™m feeling is OK.โ€
