6 GHP Active Lifestyle Awards 2025 Moncton in Canada is home to KUUMA Yoga & Pilates is a hot yoga and Pilates studio that serves as a home for movement, sweat, and emotional release. A place to not just work out, but also for people to come home to themselves, the studio serves a range of clients – from first timers to seasoned athletes, therapists, and teachers. Individuals visit for a variety of reasons: some to heal, some to build strength, and some to find a place where they feel seen. Founder Andie Moore was on hand following this win. A modern studio serving as the bridge between science and soul, everything KUUMA Yoga does is rooted in nervous system awareness, somatic education, and real human connection – from its 31.5°C infrared-heated classes to its trauma-informed teacher training. Its services include a full schedule of hot yoga, yin, Pilates, and breathwork classes, along with workshops, retreats, and even a 200hour KOULU Yoga Teacher Training programme. Every experience is designed to be both physically powerful and emotionally intelligent, or what the team call: “Functional heat with heart.” KUUMA Yoga’s holistic approach is something made possible by Founder Andie Moore, an experienced, registered Yoga Teacher and certified Neurosculpting® facilitator. Driven by loss in her personal life, Andie set out to understand both the brain and the body and how the two connect. This led her to develop a background in psychology, education, and neuroscience, with Andie spending 15 years studying movement, trauma, and the human nervous system. The establishment of KUUMA Yoga marked a significant step in this journey, allowing Andie to offer the world a space where it can heal. “I’ve always been someone who sees people deeply”, Andie shared with us, “it’s probably why KUUMA became what it is.” She continued: “Everything I’ve learned about regulation, autonomy, and connection lives inside this studio. I don’t see KUUMA as a business in the traditional sense – it’s more like a living nervous system. It breathes, it adapts, it learns. My job is to keep it coherent, connected, and aligned.” It is thanks to this unique ethos that KUUMA Yoga is able to differentiate itself in a highly competitive industry, seen further through its depth. Rather than establishing just another ‘cookie cutter’ yoga studio with pretty lights and playlists, Andie has created a space where neuroscience and mysticism converge. From this foundation, KUUMA Yoga has, over the years, evolved from a hot-yoga studio into a full-spectrum learning space that sees science, psychology, and movement brought together for maximum healing impact. Andie told us that his evolution has been propelled by client behaviour, something which has changed drastically over the last few years. The constant nervous system overwhelm of modern life has made people crave depth and authenticity more than ever, and a surface-level approach is no longer enough for success in the yoga and wellness industry. With the wider sector now playing catch up with what KUUMA Yoga has been delivering for years, the business and its leader strive to continuously remain one step ahead of the curve. “The industry has changed; our clients have changed and so have we. And honestly, I think that’s the best sign that we’re alive, paying attention, and growing in real time.” Diving into specifics of this, the next stage in KUUMA Yoga’s evolution is all about the ongoing alignment of the pieces already built by Andie and the team here, in the process paving the way for their big dream of opening a second location in San Diego. A place that is grounded, expansive, and famous for the nature and creativity it encompasses, this city is the perfect next step for this growing brand as it sets about creating spaces that go beyond yoga and which serve as hubs for nervous system education, movement, and artistry alike. Ultimately, by serving as a perfect blend of humanity, science, and soul, KUUMA Yoga & Pilates goes well beyond the yoga and Pilates its name suggests – it creates real emotional impact for those it serves. For its peerless efforts in building a wellness community through the power of nervous system literacy and emotional intelligence, it is our pleasure to recognise the company with an award in this programme.
