We received the kindest offer from Suzanne Hastings, owner of Body Balance Yoga and Wellness. Anyone with any remaining class passes on their class pack can utilize classes at Body Balance from now until the end of July. In addition Suzanne created a Welcome Month for just $25 for Studio South students. Hope to see you on your mat at Body Balance. Suzanne's message is below:

Hi Katy,

I am excited about the opportunity to invite the members of Studio South to come visit us at Body Balance Yoga and Fitness!

As part of the Williamsburg yoga community, it is important that we all support each other and Body Balance is happy to accommodate your members in whatever way we can. In order to help during this transition, Body Balance will honor any unused passes from former Studio South members from now until the end of July, 2022. For those of your members who don’t have passes, we will offer an exclusive deal for Studio South for an Unlimited Intro Month for $25 (the regular price on this $69).

Body Balance offers many of the same classes that Studio South had and your members will recognize some of their favorite instructors and the familiar faces of other members from your studio who are now at Body Balance. Your members can go to our website at www.bodybalancewilliamsburg.com to see our schedule and sign up for classes where they can register as unpaid, then we can work out the details on the passes at the studio.

Please share this email with your members and let them know they can contact me directly at 757-869-3554 or by email at the address listed below if they have any questions. We look forward to welcoming your Studio South members to Body Balance!


Much Appreciation,


Suzanne

When I started Studio South in the spring of 2013 I had the best laid plans but truthfully didn't have a clue. It's kind of like the women (myself included) who go into the delivery of their first child with a Birth Plan only to figure out that there are a lot of unseen factors that play a role in how one goes from point A to point B.

In the first few month of operation I experienced what many business owners or human beings do, I feared the unknown.I went to my Dad during this time and asked what to do about the anxiety and concern I had about whether or not the studio would work out as planned, whether or not anyone would actually want what we had to offer, whether or not we would be able to cover expenses. In that moment my Dad told me that I couldn't predict those things. But instead he said all I could do was do the right things for the right reasons. Go to bed and wake up the next day and do it again. I've carried his words and this intention throughout the years as our studio community has navigated our path.

It's no surprise that the studio has struggled through the Covid Pandemic. The world has struggled together. The landscape has changed for the business of yoga. In an effort to be completely honest and not just blankly put the responsibility on Covid, there is another factor that played a role. I'm in the middle of a high conflict divorce with my landlord's son. I find myself no longer able to give this business the resources that it requires. Please know that every measure possible was taken before reaching this incredibly difficult decision.

It is because of all of the above and I'm sure more that I close the doors to Studio South after tomorrow morning's 5:30am Class with Karen. Thank you. I will be forever grateful to all who supported, loved, and grown our community. I will carry all of the memories and relationships with me and an even greater love and appreciation of yoga. Thank you for sharing this community with me over the years. It has been the greatest gift and I know the spirit of it will carry on in us all. Stay tuned to social media as we will be sharing where you can find the amazing teachers you have loved so much.

I feel a lot of peace around this next chapter and feel in alignment with the words that have carried me through this journey. May we all do the right things for the right reasons. Go to bed and wake up to do it all over again.

Love and Gratitude,

Katy Speegle Henderson
