ICYMI: Inhales Wellness Opens In St. James: 'It's Very Surreal'

ST. JAMES, NY — Inhales Wellness is set to celebrate its grand opening in St. James on Wednesday. The hot yoga studio, at 529 Lake Ave., St. James, is owned by Ina Visich and Halee Ruggiero.

In addition to yoga, the studio also offers a matcha cafe, a plant lounge, a wine bar, and snacks.

Visich opened her first hot yoga studio, Solntse Hot Yoga and Barre in Wading River, in 2016. She added a matcha bar to that business a couple of years later and wanted to import the green tea leaves to the St. James business.

"I always dreamed about having a wellness center where it wasn’t just physical but acknowledged the mental," Visich told Patch. "Physical wellness doesn’t just lie in exercise. We are what we eat, and matcha is a huge part of that for me, personally. My health and wellness translated into business content."
