It is with much sadness that I announce that Yoganics will be closing effective immediately. This decision has come after much deliberation and prayer. We highly value the friendships and associations with our instructors, employees, and patrons and wish them the absolute best of luck in the future. Unfortunately, we were never able to gain the traction in Wylie that is needed for a full-time operation such as Yoganics. While Kent was able to cut variable costs by 30% and instructors and employees kept a cheerful attitude and high quality instruction, we were still far away from profitability. We gave it a good 2 ½ year run. I wish we could have had a 100 more.

Refunds will be prorated as of today and should be received by the end of the week. If you haven't received it by next Monday (03/30), please contact us.

If you have any other questions or concerns please email us at [email protected] and we will reply. Thanks so much for everything!
