😳 WATER DAMAGE 😳

Since May we’ve been dealing with the fallout of water damage to our suite from the tornado that hit Caledonia. 😔

We had a significant amount of water in our suite as a result of the storm and the roof to our whole building is being replaced due to the damage. 💧

Recently we’ve had several days where we have been unable to operate due to the noise of the roof replacement. We have not been given any notice by our landlords as to when the construction would occur and have had to make quick decisions to cancel and reschedule clients.

We apologize to those of you who have been impacted by a canceled massage or yoga class. 😩

This has been an incredibly stressful experience that has had a significant impact on our revenue. And it’s not over yet! Next week they start restoring and drying our walls which will impact the usability of the inside of our space. To what degree, we are unsure. 🥺

We are grateful that *soon* we will have a new roof and dry walls. We are also grateful to those of you who have demonstrated compassion and understanding when your yoga class or massage has been impacted by construction noise. 🙏🏼

Thank you to the members who have jumped in to help me dry water, clean up debris, and offer advice. Thank you to Donna for teaching my class yesterday while I had a breakdown. 😭

I’m looking forward to this period of time being over and done. Thank you for taking the time to read our update. 💚
