What does
Sacred Tide mean?
Sacred Tide represents the natural rhythm within us—the constant ebb and flow of breath, movement, energy, and life.
Like the ocean, we are never meant to remain still. We rise, we soften, we release, and we begin again. Through yoga, movement, meditation, and mindful connection, we learn to honor each season of ourselves rather than resist it.
The Sacred is the space within—our breath, our spirits, and the quiet wisdom of the body.
The Tide is our movement—the rhythm that carries us through change, growth, release, and renewal.
Together, Sacred Tide is a reminder to move with life rather than against it, to honor the body we are in, and to trust that every tide eventually brings us home to ourselves.
Breathe with the tide. Move with intention. Come home to yourself.
Our Vision
Our vision at Sacred Tide Yoga Collective and Wellness is to be a welcoming sanctuary where every body, age, and story is embraced with kindness. We exist to uplift minds, nurture bodies, and offer space for genuine peace, connection, and renewal. We want each person who walks through our doors to leave carrying calm, strength, and joy back into their world when they leave us.

Sheila Cardinal
Certified FLETCHER Pilates

Bringing Pilates home, wherever you are.
Certified FLETCHER Pilates instructor, trained through Barbara Huttner Pilates. My teaching experience includes Mat, Reformer, Trapeze, Tower, and Chair. While this space currently has no Pilates apparatus, those familiar with Pilates know just how powerful and challenging a practice using only your own body can be. My philosophy is simple: Pilates is everywhere in you. Pilates is an innovative system of movement that transforms the way your body functions in everyday life. It builds strength, core stability, balance, flexibility, body awareness, alignment, and mental focus. It is a practice that supports your whole being, both physically and mentally. With decades of teaching experience, I have developed the ability to work with all levels, in a variety of settings. My specialty is discovering what you can do and building from there. Together, we explore how to bring Pilates into your body, creating movement that is both purposeful and empowering. My own home studio in Colorado inspired my passion for sharing Pilates with others. I named it Home Pilates because I believe that Pilates is not confined to a studio or a piece of equipment. It is something you carry within you. I love to travel and experience the world, and wherever I go, Pilates goes with me. Wherever you practice, you are home. Life has brought me through profound changes. Following the loss of my son in 2022, I stepped away from much of my life as I knew it. I spent time traveling and reconnecting with friends and family. Eventually, I felt ready to settle into a new chapter, moving to the coast to be near my daughter and to find my footing in a new community. With movement, meditation, and a connection with nature continue to nourish me. My personal practices include Pilates, meditation, hiking, and catching a beautiful sunset whenever possible.
In 2024, my best friend and I published: Breathe Be Give: Create a Moving Meditation to Light Your Soul on Fire. We were honored when it received a gold medal in the journaling category. This project reflects my belief in the power of creativity, mindfulness, and living with intention. My classes are about more than exercise. They are educational, engaging, and designed to benefit your whole being. We will explore movement, alignment, breath, and the power of your core, all while having fun and discovering what your body can do. I look forward to working with you, wherever you are on your Pilates journey. Let's talk about your goals and create a practice that helps you reach them. My all-encompassing Mat classes focus on movement, alignment, strength, and body awareness.
Private Sessions: Available by appointment I welcome you to call and discuss your Pilates goals. I look forward to helping you discover the strength, balance, and possibilities already within you.
