After nearly 20 years in business, Hilltop Yoga in Old Town Lansing will be permanently closing. Our last day of operation at our 107 E Cesar E Chavez location will be Tuesday, July 30th.
If yoga has taught us anything, it is that nothing is permanent, and all things are temporary. But it has also taught us that endings are rarely ever just endings; they are also often beginnings.
While this iteration of Hilltop Yoga is coming to an end, we are not going anywhere! We are excited to announce that the space will continue to hold us and our students in a new form: Lovelight Collective, operated by Katy Joe DeSantis, Hilltop Yoga Trained E-RYT 500 and sangha member for over a decade.
We are excited to continue our sangha’s lineage through this transition: Katy Joe grew up at Hilltop Yoga training and teaching here, assisting in several teacher trainings, hosting workshops and special events, and eventually managing the studio and its various programs. She is committed to keeping our community and our mission alive, albeit in a different form.
The soft opening date of Lovelight Collective is Friday, August 9th. $5 classes will be offered all weekend and special events for the weekend are to be announced soon! Schedules, events, and other opening information will be posted on social media and sent in newsletters as the date gets closer.
Many of your favorite Hilltop teachers and their classes will stay on the schedule at Lovelight Collective with the addition of other teachers from different lineages. As a collective, we also hope to provide new opportunities for other types of events, workshops, and trainings in alignment with our longstanding tradition and values.
Existing Hilltop Yoga punch cards, classes, and studio credits will not be refunded or transferred to Lovelight Collective, so please use or share your remaining classes by July 30th.
To our sangha, thank you for your on-going support of the Hilltop community and your decades of dedication to your practices. Lovelight Collective looks forward to many more years of sharing space together.
