Thanks to our friends at Manduka for featuring us as their Studio Spotlight! Read more here!

Wow. It seems weird to be celebrating an award right now. I debated if we should even post that we won this year’s A-List Award for Best Yoga Studio in St. Louis. But ultimately, this award isn’t about the studio, It’s about you – our community. And, now, more than ever, we know we wouldn’t be here without you.

Thank you to our yogis. Thank you for showing up every day, whether it’s online, in the studio, or just to like a social media post. You are why we are here. And you are why we will continue to be here.

Thank you to our instructors. Thank you for making Brick City Yoga a welcoming, dynamic studio full of laughter and love every single day.

And thank you, St. Louis Magazine. We are so grateful that you and your readers recognized us as this year’s best yoga studio. But more importantly, thank you for highlighting the exceptional business community in our region!

I’ve made a lot of changes to get ready for re-opening on June 15th. At Brick City Yoga, I have always wanted our space to be as safe as possible. And, that goes beyond keeping us all as germ-free as possible – it means being inclusive, welcoming and accessible to all of the yogis who have rolled out their mats with us, and all who plan to. I know to fully support our Black community, I must continue learning, continue growing and continue investing financially in Black makers.

When we reopen, at least 25% of our retail vendors will be from Black-owned companies, and by the end of the year, at least 50% of our retail will be represented by Black-owned companies.

In addition, we will continue to offer, and expand on our diverse, inclusive and trauma-informed programming, as well as offer financial support through Brick City Yoga Foundation.

I can’t wait to welcome everyone back onto the mat, but in the meantime, if you want to talk, brainstorm, share ideas or suggestions, reach out!

If you are anything like me, you’ve already been inundated with sales, promos, class specials and gym memberships promising a brand new you for the new year. Some of the sales have been tempting, but the thought of the same workout class for 30 days was a bit exhausting to me.
