YogaCita

Our brightest wall in the studio 💙

Those of you who have visited the studio would recognise this lovely piece. Hopefully rehomed somewhere special so it can continue to be appreciated.

If you have any interest in any of the pieces we have in the studio, please DM us. We will keep our IG going if you’d like to get in touch. Over the weeks we’ll post pieces that are up for grabs so stay tuned.

Tonight is our last class before our doors close and we say goodbye to YogaCita.

Book into class for the last hoorah. It will be bittersweet I’m sure. Thank you again to you all for your support. Let’s keep in touch! 🙏🏼

For further info on memberships and passes, we are still here to answer any questions. We’ve teamed up with our friends and worked out a deal for you ✨

The little pieces we’ll miss once our doors close on the 24 December.

As the year ends, we want to remind you that life gives you what you need. Look for the lessons and beauty in the small things. Fall in love with this moment. An ending and a new beginning.

🌀Thank you for your support. It’s goodbye for now 🌀

With a heavy heart, I have to announce the closure of YogaCita.

I want to thank the community and teachers who have supported us for the last four years, for your energy, dedication and love.

We will not reopen after Christmas, with our final class on Sunday, Dec 24th.

The current economic climate, with rising inflation and interest rates, coupled with our increase in outgoings and decreasing revenue, with many students having to cancel/pause their memberships due to financial hardships, has forced this decision.

However, I have worked out a deal with another fantastic local Yoga studio, Yoga Tree in Elsternwick, where they will honour any remaining classes you may have left on your passes, and they will add them to any purchase you make there.

Any students currently on direct debit plans, please note that your plans will automatically finish on December 24th.

There’s nothing you need to do.

I have worked tirelessly seven days a week for six months to keep the studio afloat. I’ve taken out loans and maxed out my credit cards to the point of bankruptcy, but it hasn’t been enough.

Sadly, many Yoga studios have already been forced into closure every week under the financial burden of the current economic climate.

All the teachers and I wish you the best and hope you continue your Yoga practice.

Namaste, Paul.

It’s mid working week and getting closer to the Christmas rush (although some may feel like we’re already in the midst of it)

During this busy time of year we start to fallback on our routines and instead of sticking with our mindful practices we choose to step back from them to get a little more shopping in or rush off to another party.

As much as the festive season is one of joy and giving to others, we need to also remember to give to ourselves. Give ourselves the time to decompress and actually enjoy the festivities without overwhelm.

Move through your day getting from here to there without judgement. Stay patient and calm. Don’t rush.
