What is Unity Studio? Unity Studio is a completely immersive yoga experience through a multisensory journey. It’s a place where you can melt into the heat, vibrate into captivating soundscapes, and become transported through stunning visuals. This unique experience derived from the vision of two entrepreneurs passionate about yoga and restorative health: here’s the story.

David Stockemer and Brent Montgomery have built a bond and friendship through their love of combining sounds and music with intentional yoga practices. David, a firm believer in sacred, emotional and powerful connections through sound and melodies, has focused on music production that he has evolved over time.  Brent, a passionate innovator, artist, and dedicated learner, has seamlessly blended his artistic background with his fascination for technology.

Before their current roles as co-owners, they each had unexpected passages to the yoga world. In 2015, David stumbled upon the practice of yoga asana (poses), and at the end of his first class, he knew there was something much bigger, deeply emotional, and spiritual that he needed more of in his life. From that day on, he caught fire for gaining knowledge and a deeper understanding of yoga which led to him traveling to the country of Nepal in October of 2017, to study at the Nepal Yoga Academy located in the sub-tropical Himalayas east of Kathmandu. He received his 200 hr Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) under Guruji Dr. Chintamani Gautam.

Eventually, David started to lead yoga classes in local studios which led to the vision of “Unity in Sound”, a project that would mesh the calm and healing power he found in music with his passion and love for practicing yoga. The name “Unity in Sound" was created from this hybrid concept. The vision was a yoga instructor leading an asana flow/meditative class where an hour-long soundscape would play allowing yoga practitioners to feel their bodies immersed into melodies, moving and breathing through the asanas, creating a truly unique, emotional/spiritual response. Things went to the next level when Brent Montgomery entered the project for our “Unity in Sound: 2.”

Brent’s passion for yoga was born from a deeply personal experience. In 2009, he woke up nearly paralyzed, seemingly without any explanation. Over the years, this excruciating and debilitating experience would come again and again, multiple times a year, worse every time. Desperate for a solution that didn’t involve medication or surgery, Brent explored various health and fitness practices, ultimately discovering the transformative power of yoga. Within weeks, his debilitating back pain was dramatically reduced, and he found himself on a path to share the healing benefits of yoga with others.

Meeting David by chance at a yoga class they attended together, they discovered they are both musically inclined and immediately began collaborating on the newly made Unity in Sound immersive yoga project. Already incorporating audio into the asana poses, Brent brought Unity in Sound to the next level through the intersection of sound, art visuals, lighting controls, and automation techniques. The vision had grown larger with each year that passed. This led to Brent and David working on a brand-new concept that only a stationary location could provide.

They embarked on what they called “Operation Godspeed” which involved creating a unique new concept for an immersive yoga studio that the world has never known. A sacred space where you can let go of your everyday life’s demands for a short escape. A space that comes alive, moves and breathes with you as you practice on your mat. A place where you can be present, forget who you are and be fully engaged in the moment, and be guided through a unique journey.

After the initial rollout of Unity in Sound at local studios, it became a sensation in the Wichita market sparking the idea of a permanent space. This space would be an immersive hot yoga studio that could provide a physical, mental, and spiritual experience unlike any other. This became Unity Studio.
