Horizon Healing was founded by Hannah Hutcheson, a Cherokee County native and entrepreneur, as a yoga and healing center that provides a safe space, like a warm nurturing hug, for people to find health in their mind, body, and spirit.
Yoga is a Sanskrit word meaning “union.” The practice of yoga focuses on the unity of the mind, body, and spirit. Oxford Dictionary defines it as a “spiritual and ascetic discipline, a part of which, including breath control, simple meditation, and the adoption of specific bodily postures, is widely practiced for health and relaxation. Yoga is a holistic approach that connects the mind and the body.”
Modern medical practitioners have long touted the physical benefits of yoga. In fact, multiple publications recently have documented the clinical research behind yoga’s proven benefits for a range of health conditions, including back pain, anxiety, depression, and insomnia. It has also shown promise for its ability to help reduce risk factors for cardiovascular disease and hypertension and the side effects of chemotherapy.
And in the hectic runup to the holiday season, when stress levels are at an all-time high and flu season is rearing its ugly head, we all need an opportunity to take some quiet time and relax. The knowledgeable bevy of instructors at Horizon Healing hope to take you on an empowering journey that will take you away from the little messes of everyday life.
Hannah knows firsthand the power of healing yoga offers after it saved her during a dark time in her life. “”I found it is so healing, that is the main reason I wanted other people to experience that. I found myself through yoga.”
Hannah and her staff hope to help us recognize how our fast-paced, unpredictable environment keeps our bodies in a stressful, “fight or flight” mode, with cortisol surging and a desperate need for self-care and downtime.

When you walk into Horizon Healing, the gentle lull of relaxing music suffuses the space. The studio in the brick storefront has clean, spare decor and plenty of natural light streaming through the windows. When you bring your mat and join the students, you immediately feel a sense of welcome and peace.
The yoga instructors at Horizon Healing show you how to disconnect from stress, from technology, form the constant barrage of emails and texts, and from family obligations. After you leave Horizon Healing, you’ll be in a better mindset and your batteries will be recharged.
Hannah says she chose downtown Canton because of the small town, community atmosphere and pace. “I thought it would be great to be a part of a community. I am friends with the owners of many of the neighboring businesses, and we all work together to make downtown a welcoming place.”
Horizon Healing offers classes for any skill level, so whether you are terribly out of shape, or a fitness aficionado, the instructors will work with you and give you a personalized fitness program. They have classes seven days a week and at various times of the day, so that you can get some exercise when you need it most.
Modern living has made us fragmented and scattered. The gurus at Horizon Healing hope to make us whole again.
