Who we are

Wellness has always been at the heart of what we do. As the owners of Dragonfly Yoga Studio, Anne and Jesse have spent years fostering a space for movement, mindfulness, and meaningful connections in the Fredericksburg community. Our passion for yoga and holistic well-being has shaped our lives, and Dragonfly has become more than just a studio—it’s a home for those seeking balance, strength, and community.

While stationed in Germany with the Marine Corps, we discovered the power of sauna culture. Traveling across Germany and Austria then—and continuing to do so today—we’ve experienced the time-honored traditions of heat and cold therapy, rituals designed to restore the body, sharpen the mind, and create space for both solitude and social connection. These practices became a part of our lives, and we knew we wanted to bring them home.

Element was born from that vision: a space where contrast therapy meets community, where heat and cold work together to rejuvenate and restore, and where the people of Fredericksburg can experience the same transformative wellness practices we fell in love with abroad. Combined with the spirit of Dragonfly Yoga, Element is our way of sharing these traditions with the community we love—helping people move, breathe, recover, and connect.
