Pressed with Intention

In a neighborhood fueled by ambition and long workdays, DRIFT Yoga + Juice Bar is offering a restorative change of pace.

Founder Vivian Duelli knows the performance mindset well. Before opening DRIFT in South Lake Union, endurance sports shaped much of her life. Long-distance running taught her that nutrition isn’t optional—it plays an essential role in performance, recovery, and longevity. Surrounded by athletes (and spending years as one herself), she saw firsthand how intentional runners are about hydration, inflammation, electrolytes, glycogen replenishment, and gut health.

That lens now shapes every bottle at DRIFT.

Duelli brought a deep understanding of functional ingredients to her juicing practice—anti-inflammatory roots, mineral-rich greens, and natural sugars that support recovery without spiking and crashing the nervous system. Clean sourcing and simple ingredient lists were non-negotiable from the start.

What she had to learn was the technical craft behind the scenes: shelf life, food safety certifications, flavor balancing and production systems. Greens need brightness. Roots need lift. Citrus needs grounding. Scaling without compromising quality required intention at every step.

Juicing, she says, isn’t just about taste. It’s about supporting the whole person, for everyone from athletes to yogis, corporate teams, new moms, and busy professionals looking to recalibrate.

Every juice crafted at DRIFT begins with a feeling or need. Is it for recovery? Immunity? Calm energy? A gut reset?

From there, DRIFT starts with whole, organic ingredients—greens, roots, citrus, herbs — and tests ratios until the flavor feels balanced and alive. Each blend is evaluated for anti-inflammatory support, digestive stimulation and natural mineral content before moving into small-batch, cold-pressed production in-house.

What began as a modest offering inside the DRIFT yoga studio has grown organically. Today, DRIFT juices are available for corporate wellness orders, retreats, weddings, baby showers, private events and studio pickup preorders.

Currently, juices are available by preorder with 48 hours’ notice (minimum eight 8-ounce bottles or one 32-ounce bottle), allowing the team to reduce waste and maintain freshness.

On the Menu: Tasting Notes + Benefits

DRIFT has recently shifted to a more intentional preorder model for both juices and its vegan, gluten-free baked goods. Offerings now include:

• Luxury juice preorders (48-hour notice)
• Corporate catering and retreat packages
• Custom event orders
• Vegan and gluten-free donuts, cookies and cakes
• Alternative milks made in-house

Beyond the juice bar, DRIFT continues expanding immersive wellness experiences, including sound baths, Reiki + sound events, seasonal workshops and retreats locally and internationally.

Duelli is clear: DRIFT was never meant to be just a yoga studio or just a juice bar. It’s a space to recalibrate—physically, emotionally and energetically.

In South Lake Union, where high performance is often the norm, DRIFT is carving out room for restoration.
