Meet Kayla Hargett, a product of the Midwest. Raised as an Army Brat, today she’s a “student of the world.” Kayla is a friend, neighbor, pickleball partner, and my yoga teacher. Her latest venture is an eco-friendly shop, “Emerald Life Yoga & Refillery,” located in the Boho Beach Souls store in Pier Park. The shop is where wellness and sustainability meet. Emerald Life is a plant-based soap & cleaner refillery that also offers eco-friendly home, gift, plant and yoga goods. The refillery is an easy process. Bring your own bottles or buy them from the shop, then fill up with your laundry, hand and dish soaps, all-purpose, bathroom and floor cleaners, and just pay by the ounce. “Refill & Chill” is their motto. The Yoga part of the company is also headed by Kayla, a certified 200 hr. yoga teacher since 2015. She’ll be offering a 45-minute intermediate, but beginner-friendly, vinyasa class every Saturday starting May 11 inside of Boho Beach Souls, but is also open for bookings for private events, workplace wellness, etc. Join her in taking small steps towards living a greener life – one yoga class and one refill at a time.
The shop’s summer hours are Sundays 12-6 p.m. and Monday-Saturday 10 a.m.-8 p.m. You can shop and keep up to date with their off-season hours at www.emeraldlifeyogaandrefillery.com. Shop inquiries can be sent to emeraldliferefillery@gmail.com and yoga inquiries to emeraldlifeyoga@gmail.com. Follow on Instagram at @emeraldlifeyogaandrefillery and Facebook at ‘Emerald Life Yoga and Refillery’. Please note that space is limited to 10 yogis per yoga class.
