Yes, dear yogis, the hour is upon us! We will be closed Dec 6 - 8 because...

... after many faithful years, the carpet is being removed from our Bikram studio.

Cue the applause!

We have made the decision not to replace it with new carpet, but rather something called resilient flooring.  It has texture like carpet, but that is where the similarities end. 

High-tech, anti-microbial, non-absorbent, anti-slip, odor-resistant, waterproof, cooks dinner Friday night and does the dishes, too.  And though we rarely close throughout the year, these 3 days will definitely be worth it!  Doors re-open December 9th.

There is a BIG SALE going on RIGHT NOW to commemorate the new Flotex flooring. Don't miss out on the hot yoga savings!

Back in the fall, we noticed that people were coming to class later and later, trying to sneak in with one minute on the clock. 

This was creating a feeling of stress and frustration for staff, teachers and students who do arrive on time.  As a team, we tried to kindly remind latecomers to arrive on time, which really means a minimum 5 min before class to allow yourselves time to be in the hot room before the teacher begins. 

We appreciate the awareness and extra effort, and to those who have been turned away, thank you for understanding our need to rope everyone in and make an important point.
