Feeling Better is Closer Than You Think
Webster Groves, MO – November 22, 2024
OM Old Orchard warmly welcomes you to its yoga clubhouse—a space designed to support your journey to “feeling better,” whatever that may mean for you. Nestled in the vibrant Old Orchard lifestyle district of Webster Groves, OM is more than a yoga studio. It’s an urban retreat and gathering
space for meaningful connection, self-discovery, and personal growth.
About OM Old Orchard
OM Old Orchard is the flagship studio of the Yoga Underground LLC network, founded in 2017 by Erin Ford
(née Dittmer). Yoga Underground fosters spaces where individuals can explore movement, creativity, and
community. At OM, participants are invited to check in with their minds and bodies while enjoying thoughtful
and fulfilling practices.
Erin’s inspiration stems from her own journey of easing anxious thoughts through yoga, restorative practices,
and philosophy. OM honors rest and stillness as much as movement, providing a welcoming space for spiritual
nourishment, self-reflection, and holistic growth.
OM is uniquely positioned to welcome people new to yoga, those of all ages looking to re-establish their
practice, and families seeking meaningful experiences. At OM, the focus extends beyond parents
recharging—it’s about modeling values and mind-body practices for children and grandchildren, creating a
ripple effect of well-being across generations.
OM also reflects the legacies of Erin’s parents. Her father, Terry K. Dittmer—a creative spirit, speaker, and
artist—infused the studio’s mission with creativity and spiritual connection. Her mother, Cherie Dittmer, a
beloved early childhood teacher who nurtured multiple generations in St. Louis, inspired OM’s culture of care,
resourcefulness, and commitment to fostering vibrant community connections.

“OM is unique in that we aren’t trying to be a place you feel pressured to come to every day. Instead, we want

leave feeling better—whatever ‘feeling better’ means to you.”
