IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!
To our loyal student base,
Over the past 6 years we've had the distinct pleasure of running classes out of our extremely non-traditional yoga studio, equipped with a padded floor, UFO light fixtures, the sounds of heavy bags being smashed next door, and if you were lucky, you were serenaded by Black Sabbath during sun salutes.
All joking aside, in order to offer more to you and to grow Backbone Yoga, Morgan and I started looking for a new space for Backbone a few months back. We looked in the Clinton area for a proper spot, but we couldn't find something that fit just right.
As you all know, over the past half a decade, we've run retreats, workshops, events, parties, shenanigans, and teacher trainings with our friends at Yoga & Barre Haven in High Bridge. Interestingly enough, YBH was of looking to grow, as well. In order to continue to hold space for the best classes, workshops, and yoga trainings in Hunterdon County, the two studios have decided to partner together. Rather than split our efforts further and run two separate studios, a merger made too much sense to all of us!
Effective Friday, March 6th, Chris and Morgan will no longer be holding classes at the Backbone Yoga location in Clinton. We're going on a short vacation to recharge, and upon our return, we'll be teaching at Yoga and Barre Haven in our town of High Bridge. New offerings such as Mysore Ashtanga, more Led Ashtanga classes, and so more will be taking effect in the beginning of April. Also, there are more gentle/slow flow classes, and barre classes at YBH that you can take! The studios are merging MBO accounts, so you will start receiving emails and schedule updates from Yoga & Barre Haven. Please check YBH’s online schedule in the next week for March updates. A few of you will have your practice interrupted briefly while we are away, but this is only temporary.
The MindBody Merger will take place Tuesday, March 3rd. Please allow 48 hours after that for your accounts to be visible on Yoga and Barre Haven's MBO account. Some of you will receive email receipts as we populate your remaining classes to your YBH account.
To students holding Backbone Yoga class cards: Your class are 100% valid at Yoga & Barre Haven! We can't wait to see you there! Your classes will be on your account before or on Thursday.
To students with monthly memberships: No further billing will take place from Backbone Yoga. We certainly hope you'll join us at our new home!
To students with pre-purchased 6 month memberships: your membership will roll over at the new studio.
While the merger will be an adjustment for everyone, we truly feel it's for the best. The partnership will allow all of us to work together to continue to grow the yoga community in our area, which has its varying and expanding needs. We're extremely excited about all the new changes to come, and certainly hope you'll join us. The new schedule will start to come together during the last week of March and early to mid April. We look forward to seeing you all after our vacation! The last class at Backbone will be held this Thursday, March 5th, at 8:15pm.
Yoga and Barre Haven is located at 19 Main Street in High Bridge, NJ. Their website is https://yogaandbarrehaven.com/ Once the MBO merge is complete, please be sure to SIGN UP ONLINE for classes prior to attending. It’s best to reserve your spot for class.
I wanted to extend our sincerest thanks to our devout students, and to the teachers that taught and subbed over the years. You all filled the studio with so much heart and laughter. I am indebted to you all. Here's to many more excellent times together!
As always, please feel free to reach out to us with any questions!
Love,
Chris & Morgan
High Bridge, New Jersey
