Dear Friends –

We hope that all of you are doing well and staying healthy.

When we began planning to open the studio early last year, we were optimistic that the pandemic was winding down and that opening in July 2021 would align well with the reopening / relaxing of covid related restrictions. We anticipated that many who had been deprived the opportunity to practice in community would be ready to return to a studio environment. Unfortunately, we did not expect the subsequent waves of Delta and Omicron, nor did we fully expect the trepidation many would feel about gathering as a group once again. These factors dramatically slowed our ramp up phase and drained a lot of our funds, as we felt it was important to maintain a robust schedule and affordable pricing (in the spirit of building community and making yoga accessible to all).

We understood the process of building would take time, but did not foresee all of the challenges we would face.

Even though more yogis are finding out about the studio every week, we no longer have the financial capacity to continue investing in the business.

So with that reality, we are sad to announce that we will be closing the studio, our final day will be June 5th.

We are engaging in some discussions with individuals who may be interested / willing to move into the space. If any in our community are also interested, would be thrilled to connect with you. We still believe that with sufficient time and investment, the business does have the potential to succeed.

While we are personally very sad and disappointed to have to make this decision, we are so very grateful for the care and support each of you have brought to Firefly, we love you very much.

Please continue to come to class to support the studio and instructors as much as possible over the next two weeks. If you have unused classes (or time from a monthly membership) left on your account after the studio closure, we will be refunding you for the unused portion accordingly.

Please reach out with any questions and we will certainly be in touch with any further developments.

In Gratitude,

Heather and Adam

Treat yourself!! 💖 Join Melanie & Britt for RADIANT RESONANCE:
Reiki and Sound Healing Circle

Saturday, April 23rd, 2022 4PM-6PM 🌺

We will begin the journey centering our own energy with practices using breath, mantra and guided relaxation led by Meanie. From this open and receptive state, Britt will create a soothing sound bath where healing sound waves smooth away any residual tension held in the body. Throughout the session, both Melanie and Britt will share Reiki energy. Reiki is universal life energy. Reiki frequency is guided through the practitioner and flows throughout the body to find root causes of imbalance, and can initiate healing on physical and subtle levels. Upon concluding the experience, we will have community time to share tea and connect with each other. 💕💜💕

All are welcome! 😍

Hi everyone! We want to introduce you to Ege , who is now teaching Vinyasa Flow at Firefly every Wednesday, 4:30-5:30pm!! We’d love to see you in one of his classes, soon!!! 😍💜

A little about Ege:

Egemen (Ege) is a modern dervish carrying the flag of his sufi roots as he shares his unique voice in yoga and music with the world. Ege’s yoga journey started in New York City where he played live sitar in yoga studios. After moving to SF, he dove into asana and pranayama, finishing his 200hr yoga teacher certification at Yoga Tree in the summer of 2016 and studying further with Annie Carpenter towards a SmartFLOW certification. As a lifelong student of rhythm and vibration, Ege loves mindful movement and flow with a focus on breath and alignment. Ege teaches all-levels vinyasa weekly at Google and subs a variety of classes at Laughing Lotus. He also shares his healing, improvisational world music regularly in yoga classes around the Bay Area.

Happy Spring dear yoga community!! 💚🌞🌱 We are so happy to welcome our new teacher, Mario , to our wonderful Firefly studio! He’s teaching:

Vinyasa Flow
Tuesday 7:30-8:30pm
Thursday 4:30-5:30pm

We hope to see you in one of his classes, soon!! 😍

Here’s a little bit about Mario:

A long-time Bay Area resident who grew up in Lima, Peru, Mario took his first yoga class in 2014 and it was love at first sight. He quickly recognized that yoga was a powerful tool for helping him heal his body from old injuries and to overcome his long battle with depression - both through his regular practice and by joining a community in which he found a welcoming home. In the years since, he has been able to navigate life with greater ease, joy, and conviction. Mario completed his 200-hour training in early 2015. He is passionate about inspiring others to discover the physical, spiritual, and mental benefits of yoga - and, simply, to thrive. Mario continues to further his education through workshops and training and is currently pursuing an additional 300 hours with Janet Stone Yoga in San Francisco. His classes can be described as welcoming, grounding, and challenging, with a focus on building strength from within.
