MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (March 16, 2026) &ndash; <a href="https://www.yogasix.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">YogaSix</a>, a modern yoga studio offering a fresh take on one of the world&rsquo;s oldest practices, announces new ownership of its Nokomis studio, located at 1624 E 66th St. in the Cedar Point Commons shopping center. The studio is now owned and operated by local entrepreneur Sarah Dietl, who also owns YogaSix Minnetonka.
Dietl officially took ownership of the six-year-old Nokomis studio in September 2025, bringing both personal roots and professional experience to the role. A Twin Cities native who grew up in Richfield, she comes from a family of small business owners. Her father operated a business in the area for over 30 years, which inspired her commitment to building a community-centered business.
With a background in marketing and experience working for companies including Yahoo, Dietl was drawn to yoga as both a practitioner and business opportunity. She opened YogaSix Minnetonka two years ago before expanding her ownership to the Nokomis studio.
&ldquo;As someone who grew up in this community, it&rsquo;s meaningful to lead a studio that supports local members and businesses,&rdquo; said Dietl, &ldquo;Our space is more than fitness, it&rsquo;s a place for connection, mindfulness, and support, especially during times when small businesses and community spaces matter most.&rdquo;
Under her leadership, YogaSix Nokomis has expanded class offerings, added new time slots and mobility classes, and introduced initiatives such as a &ldquo;Warrior Wall&rdquo; to celebrate members&rsquo; milestones. The studio is also actively supporting the DHH Church by collecting food and essential items for families in need. They are also working with organizations, such as the Richfield Public Schools and the Richfield Community Safety Program.
Starting April 6, YogaSix Nokomis will host Free Flow Week, inviting the community to experience the studio with three complimentary classes. The celebration will continue with a Grand Reopening Celebration, featuring a &ldquo;Meet the Owner&rdquo; event where attendees can connect with the studio&rsquo;s leadership and learn more about the vision for the Nokomis location.
The studio is also launching several community-focused initiatives, including a &ldquo;Mindful March&rdquo; challenge, a &ldquo;Love Your Mat&rdquo; drive collecting gently used mats for youth programs, and plans to pilot a Pilates-inspired class format along with a six-week &ldquo;Grow With Me&rdquo; Earth Day challenge.
YogaSix Nokomis features a spa-like environment with six signature class formats designed to make yoga accessible for all levels. Since opening in January 2020, the studio has served as a neighborhood wellness hub. With new ownership and expanded programming, the studio continues to evolve as a space dedicated to movement, connection, and community impact.

Promoting Wellness Through Our Wellness Retreats 

AnnapurnaBlue Health and Wellness 

AnnapurnaBlue Health &amp; Wellness: A Sanctuary for Renewal AnnapurnaBlue Health &amp; Wellness was created from a simple yet powerful belief: that true healing happens when we care for the whole person — mind, body, and spirit. Founded by Deborah Peteler, AnnapurnaBlue offers transformative wellness retreats and programs designed for individuals navigating life transitions, health challenges, emotional overwhelm, and personal reinvention. With over 30 years of experience in trauma-informed care and holistic wellness practices, Deborah blends ancient wisdom with modern therapeutic approaches to create safe, supportive environments where real healing can take place. Our retreats — held both locally in Minnesota and internationally — are intentionally designed to help participants slow down, reflect, and reconnect with themselves. Through gentle Qigong movement, meditation, sound healing, breathwork, mindset sessions, and meaningful group dialogue, participants gain tools to manage stress, navigate change, and build emotional resilience. AnnapurnaBlue is especially supportive of women ages 35–70+ navigating grief, life-altering illness, menopause, empty nesting, career transitions, and other profound shifts. We believe these seasons of life are not endings — they are powerful invitations to rise. Our programs are inclusive, nurturing, and deeply respectful of each individual’s journey. Many participants leave feeling restored, empowered, and connected — not only to themselves, but to a supportive community of like-minded individuals. Whether someone is seeking healing, clarity, rest, or renewal, AnnapurnaBlue provides a sacred pause from the noise of daily life and an opportunity to move forward with intention.
