COME DOWN & BE A PART OF OUR 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION THIS MONTH!!!
 
NEW ADDITIONS/CHANGES TO THE SCHEDULE: Beginning this month, new visitors to studio receive 30 days of yoga for $30!! We also changed the names of the classes (shown on the schedule). The "all levels" class name has been changed to POWER 60 & POWER 75 which indicates the length of the class (60mins or 75mins).  An additional REVIVE & RENEW class has been added on Wednesday at 5.45pm.

The studio is growing & so many new things are taking place!  In the coming weeks, we will be moving to a computer check in system and adding changing rooms.  In order to make room for growth, the mats that are kept in the practice room will be taken out.  Unless you are a yearly or monthly card holder, you will no longer be able to keep your mat on site.  Please remove your mat by May 15th.  All mats that are not claimed by May 15th will be donated.  In addition, all items in the lost & found will only be kept for 2 weeks.  If you have left something at the studio, please check the lost & found, as all items will be donated on May 15th.
