Hello, my dear friends and YogaVita family. I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who has patiently awaited our return to the studio over the past few days. We are delighted to announce that we have resumed our regular schedule. Today was a bit challenging, and I am truly thankful for the immense grace and support you have shown me. Many of our exceptional teachers have generously offered to assist the studio and support our members. Several of them will be subbing for me over the coming week. I will be at the desk for the next few days sometimes practicing and breathing with you. Then I will take a few days away to recharge before returning to fully support you all and to celebrate our friend and Warrior Missy.🙏🏻🪷

Hello YogaVita family🪷
It’s been a very long and difficult week. I’m filled with a heavy heart and have so many words to express my grief for our beloved Angel Missy. Saying goodbye to my beautiful and strong friend is one of the most challenging things I’ve ever had to do.
The memorial and funeral were beautiful and heartfelt and her family and friends want to express their deepest gratitude to all of you who attended and to those that sent such touching condolences.
We will begin with a soft reopening starting tomorrow, Saturday, March 14, Bridget’s and Lynn’s regular classes will resume.
On Sunday, in place of Yin we will offer a special Sound Bath yoga Nidra session at 9 a.m. for anyone who wishes to attend. We will simply lie on our mats together, allowing ourselves to heal and breathe and honor Missy. We will have that one class on Sunday so that people can share thoughts, words and take their time leaving their mats. On Monday our regular schedule will resume.
We are planning another special tribute class in the near future to honor Missy’s memory with the grace, dignity, and love she deserves. We will share words, thoughts, and memories about her and for her. The date and details of this tribute class will be announced soon.
Please be well and Namaste 🙏🏻

Hello YogaVita Family🙏🏻
After much back and forth in trying to figure out when to resume classes we have made the decision to respect our Angel Missy and to remain paused until Saturday March 14th after she is put to rest. The staff is still very much in shock. We are grieving and need a moment of silence. This was a very tough call to make but we know that you will all understand and we hope that you will continue to support us in this decision.
Much Love and Namaste🪷

Temporary pause@ Yogavita

It is with deep sadness that we need to inform our yogi friends of the "why" we suddenly had to temporarily pause our studio this week. Unfortunately, we have lost our dear friend and co-owner and face of Yogavita, Missy, on the early hour of Wednesday, March 4th due to complications of breast cancer.
Firstly, it is very important to her husband and family that you know what the studio and all of you meant to her. It was not a business to her it was a family. She loved and cherished each and every one of you. She was truly happy to see and know your faces, know your stories and to provide a safe, loving space and community for you to practice and find solace.
Secondly, it is important that you all know just how strong she fought to stay here and be with all of us right until the very end. She fought with a dignity and strength that is beyond admirable. There will never be enough words to honor her and a positivity that most of us would never be able to match. She is and always will be a true Warrior.

We are asking for your patience and understanding during this temporary pause as it has greatly saddened and impacted not only our Yoga teaching staff, but our Yogi community. Please understand we are at a loss for words and for exactly what to do at this moment. Further, please know we will make it up to you and hope you plan to stick beside us during this challenging time. Moving forward and when the timing is right we plan to resume classes as soon as we can. This tragic loss of our dear friend was unexpected! Please understand we are in mourning and plan to make periodic announcements on either social media or studio signage once more decisions are made. Thank you deeply for your understanding and patience at this time. We truly love our Yoga community 🙏🏻
Take good care and Namaste
