There’s a new business coming to the former Jenny Dawn Cellars space, sans wine

For the last two and a half years, Synthanee Humbert has had a traveling yoga studio, but now she’s found a home for it downtown that she hopes will become a home away from home for others.

She wants Inner Oasis Wellness Studio to be “like your little oasis in the city.”

The business will open this fall at Union Station downtown where Jenny Dawn Cellars used to be.

Inner Oasis is a lot more than simply a yoga studio.

“What we’re really doing is taking a holistic approach to health in general,” Humbert said.

There will be two yoga studios, one of which will be an infrared yoga studio.

There also will be a spa with infrared private sauna rooms, aestheticians and massage therapists.

Humbert said she’s open to a lot of possibilities for the almost 6,000-square-foot space.

“I’d love to get somebody who does scalp care. Oooh, that would be delicious.”

She’d also eventually like a nutritionist and a psychologist on staff.

Humbert’s day job is in cybersecurity, which she plans to continue, in part from an office within the studio space.

With her traveling studio, Humbert said, “My focus was getting into the community.”

She said she networked and spent time trying to figure out what kind of permanent space would make the most sense.

“I used to live downtown, and I absolutely adored it,” Humbert said. “This is something I would have loved to have had when I was a downtown-liver.”

She said there’s great parking at Union Station, but that wasn’t the biggest draw for her.

“Oh, my gosh, the windows,” Humbert said of her favorite feature.

Plus, she said, “Anytime you drive down there, there’s people walking.”

Charlie King of Occidental Management handled the deal for the space on behalf of Occidental, which owns Union Station, and Alex Ibarra of ReeceNichols South Central Kansas represented Humbert.

Humbert is rebuilding her website at www.inneroasisyoga.com, where she’ll eventually have information about classes and other offerings, including founding memberships.

Those memberships will allow customers to join early.

Humbert said she wants to be flexible in what she offers by listening to what the community needs, and she’s particularly looking for feedback from founding members and learning what they want.

“It’s just a really good way to be part of building something in the community.”
