Endings and New Beginnings

After two and a half years of partnership at The Yoga Collective, Lisa Betz-Marquez and Desarie Joy Evelo have decided to move in different professional directions. We are proud of what we created together and wish each other well in our separate endeavors.

Beginning June 6, Desarie Joy Evelo will continue the studio under a new name: Radiant Joy Yoga. The studio will be temporarily closed June 1 through June 5 for rebranding, updates, and exciting new changes. Radiant Joy Yoga will continue serving the community from the same location with accessible, compassionate, and welcoming offerings for every body and every stage of life.

Before we close this chapter, we invite our community to join us for a free Farewell Closing Cacao Ceremony & Celebration on Wednesday, May 27 at 6:15 PM. This special gathering will honor The Yoga Collective, celebrate the community we’ve built together, and say farewell to The Yoga Collective. Please register online to attend.

Lisa Betz-Marquez will be focusing on local community leadership, including serving on the boards of Oregon Trail Days and Gering Merchants, growing her Peaceful Prairie Campsites business, and continuing to teach yoga classes at Anytime Fitness in Scottsbluff. Please stay tuned to Lisa’s page for her schedule updates.

Together, we are committed to a professional and supportive transition for our students and community. Thank you for your trust, kindness, and support as we begin this next chapter.

With gratitude,
Lisa Betz-Marquez & Desarie Joy Evelo
