A longtime Leucadia yoga studio will shut down this month after its new owners say an unexpected rent hike proposal — nearly double their original rate — made a long-term lease impossible.
Yoga 101 co-owner Robin Gallo, who purchased the business with her partner Chad Delude in December 2024, said the studio will hold its final classes on Dec. 19.
The studio owners also cited ongoing building concerns during renovations below the studio, including alleged fire-separation and safety issues. In October, the studio filed a formal complaint with the city, which officials say is now under review.
The landlord disputes the allegations, stating that the rent proposal was negotiable and not intended to force the studio out.
“For me, it’s the loss of my entire life savings. Losing everything with the flick of a pen has been really difficult to swallow,” Gallo said. “I invested everything I had because I believed in this community and this studio. I feel awful for my students. Some have been coming here for decades.”
