We have had an action packed
spring and summer here at YBS - moving twice, never ending
renovations, running classes while working around
construction guys working with us in our space every day,
decorating, cleaning, more cleaning, designing everything
new, working out the kinks, giving tours of our new studio,
giving more tours, working out different kinks, and creating
our new fall schedule!
Our new space is located at 20 Grote St. across from the
Fairview Mall, behind Dairy Queen (in the old Fine Kettle of
Fish building). We now have two studios, so we can have two
classes running simultaneously. We have now named the
studios - the main studio is called Prana (energy, breath,
life force), and our smaller studio is called Shakti (power,
sacred force, creative actualization). Angela Cancellara is
lovingly working on painting their names above the doors as
I write this!
Our fabulous big walk in closet now has shelving for our
shoes, coats, etc – so please be sure to put your shoes and
belongings in the closet when you come in now! There is lots
of parking here, so be sure to come in and take a tour if
you haven’t yet seen our new space. We are working on
designing a new logo and should have signage on the building
within the next few weeks. In the meantime, you’ll see our
signature hot pink (temporary) A-frame signs outside the
building when we are open.
With the new fall schedule, we have added on several new
classes, as well as standardized and staggered the times of
the classes. With the luxury of two studios, we are allowing
more time in between classes, as well as timing things so
that two classes are not starting at the same time (avoiding
overwhelming/congesting the front desk and reception area).
Many of your favourite class times have probably moved by
5-15 minutes. Please be sure to check the times of your
favourite classes before starting back on September 8!
