💔 A Difficult Announcement from My Heart
Friends,
This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to share.
As many of you know, Rising Phoenix Yoga has been a place of connection, stillness, and healing — not just for my students, but for me as well. This studio has been my dream come to life.
But life has a way of calling us in many directions. My mom’s health has been declining, and she and my dad need more of me right now. I’ve tried to balance everything, but I can’t give my clients the attention and energy they deserve while also caring for them in the way my heart knows I must.
With that, I’ve made the deeply painful decision to close my studio space effective September 1st.
This is not the end for Rising Phoenix Yoga — just a new chapter. While I’ll no longer have a permanent space, I will continue to create monthly wellness and yoga events where we can still come together, breathe, move, and find stillness.
Stay tuned for announcements of who I’ll be partnering with and our first wellness event coming this October.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for every class attended, every kind word, every shared laugh, and every deep breath we’ve taken together. You’ve been part of something truly special, and I hope you’ll join me in this next chapter. Love always, Mel
