Thank you Alison! Sending you all our best.

Dear Maven Community - The last few years have been unprecedented and challenging for all of us. Small businesses suffered through a roller coaster of unpredictable obstacles and risk. Many shuttered their doors. Maven has not only survived, but thrives again because of you. Your unwavering support through these uncertain times is beyond heartening and words fail to express my gratitude to each and every one of you.
These strange and terrible times have also been the most beautiful of my life. Last July, my husband and I welcomed our second baby girl. Despite being born into and raised in odd circumstances, our daughters are none the wiser and are flourishing. They fill our lives with joy and love.
Navigating these years as a small business owner with a baby (now toddler), through a pregnancy, and now as a mother of two, has also been incredibly difficult to say the least. As such, it is with a heavy heart that I am taking a step back from Maven to be a full-time mom. It is not just the best option for my family, but the only option.
I have known many of you through yoga for years, some a decade. I cherish our conversations at the front desk, the energy you bring to the classes, and our friendship. Seeing you all walk into the studio, chatting with you, and teaching yoga has truly been the most precious gift. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
We have worked behind the scenes to transfer full ownership to Kai. This process will be official on July 1st. I plan to sub whenever possible and as my girls grow, start school, and eventually need me less, I look forward to teaching regularly again. For now, Maven will continue on its path of thriving in Kai’s passionate and capable hands, and with the support of our amazing instructors, for many, many years to come.
Thank you all for being a part of Maven’s community. This is not “good-bye,” just a “see you soon.”
Peace & Love to you all.
-Alison
