One day, one breath at a time

Dear Students,
After careful consideration and daily reassessment, we’ve decided to close both Shala studios for at least 2 weeks, effective beginning Monday, March 16.
We feel strongly that connection and communication are of the utmost importance, especially now. We are here for you in whatever skillful form that has to take for the time being. We appreciate the overwhelming support you’ve already offered, and we need your continued support during this emergency closure.
We are working on setting up online classes, which will help us stay in touch and keep practicing together. Online classes will also help sustain our faculty and staff, and keep the studios afloat.
We encourage you to purchase gift certificates and class cards (6-month and 1-year cards would provide significant stimulus!) for the future. These class cards will go toward your class attendance when we reopen; online class payment would be separate. Of course, all current class cards will be frozen.
You can check our website, Instagram, and Facebook for updates. Please collect your mats today (Sunday, March 15) between classes, and if that isn’t possible for you, we’ll post times for mat pick-up during the weekdays.
Keep practicing! Take care of yourselves and others! We love you.
xo,
Kristin + Barbara
