How Five Peaks Yoga Built a Community-Focused Brand from Day One



When Five Peaks Yoga set out to open its new studio in Purcellville, Virginia, it faced a familiar challenge in the wellness world — standing out in a crowded local market while staying true to its mission.

The goals were clear:

  • Drive local awareness ahead of the grand opening

  • Build trust and authenticity through genuine storytelling

  • Convert community interest into class bookings and memberships

The Strategy: Lead with People, Not Promotions

SW Creative developed a strategy rooted in human-first storytelling — showcasing the heart behind the brand: the founders, instructors, and the culture they were creating.

We built the campaign around three pillars:

  1. Authenticity – Share the personal vision that inspired Five Peaks to open.

  2. Credibility – Secure earned media in trusted local publications to build authority.

  3. Connection – Repurpose content across digital channels to deepen engagement.

The Execution

To bring this strategy to life, SW Creative:

  • Secured feature coverage in Middleburg Life, Washington Business Journal, and Loudoun Times, spotlighting Five Peaks’ mission and community roots.

  • Amplified storytelling through social media and email marketing, ensuring consistent messaging before and after the launch.

  • Activated on-site storytelling during the grand opening — capturing live content and photography that extended the event’s impact well beyond opening day.

✅ An ongoing content pipeline fueling Five Peaks’ marketing well after launch

In Their Words

“So many are recovering physically, mentally and spiritually from the pandemic, which made me realize I could take the new studio beyond a yoga and group fitness center – and transform it into a sanctuary for those seeking true health, vitality and self-realization.”
— Lauren Christian, Founder of Five Peaks Yoga

Five Peaks didn’t just open a yoga studio — they created a sanctuary for renewal, connection, and growth.
