An update on Soul Fire Power Yoga
I am writing this letter with tears in my eyes and love in my heart. I have rallied, loved, made bold requests, asked tough questions and made the most challenging decision I think I have ever made. At the end of May 2022, Soul Fire Power Yoga will close its doors. The final classes at Soul Fire will be Tuesday, May 31.
Quite frankly, the pandemic has drawn every bit of life from me. I have dug deep in creativity, pulled from pots of energy I didn’t even know I had and given the yoga studio my heart and soul. It deserved it and I wanted to do it. Period. My mental health is suffering, and in the big picture right now, this aligns with looking after myself and my family.
The lease expires at the end of July. I have looked at every option, spoken to my peers, checked my ego, and this is the decision that I feel in my bones is right for me at this moment (my ego really tried to convince me for months that I could keep going). Financially, it doesn’t make sense to sign another lease with ongoing uncertainty and predictions of the pandemic and the impact the last 2 years have had on the studio finances.
The Soul Fire teachers. Woah. These people are the kindest, dreamiest team to be surrounded by and I 100% would not have gotten here without them. Give them hugs and high fives repeatedly. They deserve it.
Of course a big question for you is around your membership. All autopay memberships will be pro-rated weekly after May 7 so you are able to attend classes until May 31. All memberships will be canceled as of May 31 and there will not be any refunds issued.
Class passes: We are not in a position to issue refunds. Please take the month of May to attend classes & use up your passes (class passes can be shared with others so bring a friend to experience Soul Fire Power Yoga before we close).
Please join us in this final month of classes. Our teachers would love to see you & you can share one final sweat with them, whenever that will be. Towards the end of the month, we will put some things in place so you too can celebrate the time you have spent with us.
I am so grateful - words I have said from the depths of my being often since March 2020. I truly mean it when I say this phrase and I hope you receive this gratitude. I am so grateful for the 10 years of being in business at 111 Fourth Ave. The people I have met, shared sweaty hugs with, laughed with, learned from & grown in graceful ways have left an indelible print on my being that will be part of me for eternity. Thank you.
With gratitude and love,
