indigenous peoples day.
no sale today. no product. just this.
this shop exists because the plant knowledge survived. it survived boarding schools. it survived the laws that made our ceremonies illegal. it survived generations of people being told their medicine was superstition. it got carried by elders, a lot of them unnamed on purpose, and handed down anyway.
every jar on our shelf is there because somebody refused to let it die.
so today thank the ones who carried it. and if you're not native, learn whose land you're standing on and what they call it. here in mankato it's dakota land. even the name of this town is theirs.
we're still here. the plants are still here.
come see it for yourself today. mankato east high school, 2600 hoffman rd, starting at 3pm.

Okay friends, quick update!! 💜 All classes are unfortunately cancelled Monday AND Tuesday while we finish up renovations! Our building is undeniably a little bit old (we love that!!!!) which means things are taking a bit longer than we expected. We are hoping to have everything wrapped up on Tuesday, and we will keep y’all posted right here!!

Thank you sooooo much for being patient with us. We are very excited for you to see the new space when it’s complete. It is going to be worth the wait, promise!

Háŋ Mitákuye Oyás'iŋ,
October is National Women's Small Business Month and I've been sitting with what that means for me.
I grew up watching my mom run her own grassroots nonprofit out of pretty much nothing. As long as I can remember she was on the phone, writing grants, feeding people, showing up for everybody. I didn't know it back then but I was learning how to build something from the ground up.
In 2018 I started Lakota Made in my kitchen with six salves. Six. I'd be pouring at the table after the girls went to bed, wondering if anybody would even buy them.
Now we have a storefront on Riverfront Drive, just blocks from where the Dakota 38 were hanged. Being here, on this land, as a Lakota woman owned business is not an accident. It's reclamation. We were the first Lakota Winyan owned business in Mankato and I don't take that lightly.
What people don't always see is that I'm raising five daughters on my own, and this business is how I take care of them and a lot more of my family and community too. Most weeks I'm the CEO, the marketing department, the website person, the wholesale contact, and the one answering your messages at 11pm with a kid asleep on me.
We try to live by Wawokiya, generosity and helping. When one of us gets a door open, we hold it for the next one. That's why other Indigenous artists sell in our store, and why I'll always lift up other Native women in business.
So this month, tag a woman owned business you love. Buy from her. Leave her a review. Tell your friends. It means more than you know.
Wóphila Tȟáŋka for every single one of you who has supported us since that kitchen table.

🍂 GATHER YOUR STRENGTH. 🍂
Root down. Build up.

🤎 October new member special: commit the next six months to rooting deep and building a strong foundation, get one month free! 

There’s something about fall that naturally invites us to turn inward. The days grow shorter, the air gets cooler, and nature begins to slow down, shed what it no longer needs, and prepare for the season ahead.

In Ayurvedic philosophy, autumn is associated with Vata season—a time characterized by movement, change, coolness, and dryness. The balancing response is warmth, nourishment, grounding, routine, and stability. Rather than constantly pushing for more, this season can be an invitation to become more rooted in the things that sustain us.

And we think there’s a beautiful lesson in that for fitness. 🤎

This doesn’t have to be the season of punishing workouts or chasing quick results before the holidays. It can be the season you build your foundation.

🍁 Establish a routine.
🍁 Nourish your body.
🍁 Build strength and muscle.
🍁 Move with intention.
🍁 Prioritize recovery.
🍁 Create habits sturdy enough to carry you through winter—and into your next season of growth.

Strong trees don’t begin with what we see above the ground. They begin with deep roots.

That’s what we want training at GymShe to help you build: strength that goes deeper than a number on the scale. A stronger body, steadier habits, more confidence, and a foundation you can continue growing from.

A season to root. A time to build. 🌿
There are three months left in 2026. You don’t have to rush through them.

Gather your strength. Build your roots. Let’s prepare for what comes next. 🍂💪

🖤Our hearts are heavy. And we are angry.🤬

The story of the young woman at Cornell is a painful reminder of why so many survivors never report. She reported what happened—and nearly two years later, the criminal investigation is still unfolding. Two years of waiting. Two years of having to revisit it. Two years while she is simply trying to survive and move forward. Two years of being dismissed and not believed. Seven hours of r**e by seven men. And two years.

❗️Two years.❗️

🖤Two years in which this young woman has had to continue living her life while carrying what she says happened to her without any justice.

❗️Two years after she went to police.❗️

👉And this is exactly why conversations about sexual violence cannot begin and end with:

“Why didn’t she report it?”

❗️Sometimes, she did.❗️

So at GymShe, we want women to hear something else:

💛You do not have to report your story to us to begin reclaiming your own.

You don’t owe us an explanation.
You don’t have to tell us what happened.
You don’t have to justify why you stayed, why you left, why you froze, why you fought—or why you never reported at all.

You are welcome here.
We stand with you.
We believe you.
And we believe in you.

🤎Our self-defense classes are judgment-free. We cannot promise to prepare you for every possible scenario, and self-defense training never places responsibility for an assault on the person being attacked.

What we can do is train beside you.

💛We can practice breathing and thinking under pressure.
Self-defense trains more than your body. With practice, you can learn to recognize your stress response, regulate your breathing, think under pressure, and access practiced responses when adrenaline takes over.

👉We don’t train you to never feel fear. We train you to function through it.
We can train responses until movements become more familiar. We can help you reconnect with your strength, your body and your voice. We can give you a place to hit the pads, learn, sweat, get stronger, take up space and slowly rebuild confidence on your terms.

💛For some women, self-defense is preparation.

💛For others, it is reclamation.

To every woman carrying a story she has told—and every woman carrying one she hasn’t:

We stand with you. 🖤
