Dear Yoga Room Friends,
LIC CLOSING
After over a year of the government-mandated Covid shutdown, we were hoping to reopen our LIC studio back in April when NYC finally allowed indoor classes to resume. We have been trying to come to an agreement with our LIC landlord. Unfortunately, the landlord has just informed us they are not renewing our lease. We were also unable to reach any sort of interim or temporary agreement with them. So after 16 years of TYR LIC (12 years at the last location), we have no choice but to shut our doors permanently.
Obviously heart-breaking news, but there is nothing we can do. If things ever normalize one day in a future post-Covid world, we might look for another LIC space. We thank you for all your support over the years. It has been a lot of fun… We still have all the clients’ mats stored with us, we will organize some dates in the next few weeks so you can come pick up your mat and say hello.
ASTORIA CONTINUED REOPENING
Astoria continues to limp along post reopening. We are hoping life will start to return to some semblance of normal in the fall. A shout out to our Astoria landlord, Werwaiss Properties, they are awesome!
With the government capacity restrictions now removed, we will be offering unlimited memberships again, starting July 10.
- If you had a monthly membership prior to the Covid closure in March 2020, you can email us at info@yogaroomnyc.com to resume your membership. We will honor any unused time from pre-Covid, and new billing will restart at the last pre-Covid price of $149/month with the next billing cycle, if you so choose.
- If you had a prepaid annual membership, we will honor any unused time, just email us.
- If you had a class card that expired while we were closed, email us to reactivate your class card.
Memberships will NOT be restarted automatically, you will NOT be billed anything unless you specifically ask:
- Option A: Email us to restart your membership, as described above
- Option B: Email us to cancel permanently if you have moved away or you are never coming back to The Yoga Room
- Option C: Do nothing, default option, membership remains frozen
On July 10, we will also restart our towel service and mat storage for members. Please bring your own mat, as our mat rental / cleaning will be extremely limited. Props that cannot be properly disinfected after each use (blankets, blocks, bolsters, aerial silks etc.) will remain off limits until further notice.
COVID
As a reminder, the latest COVID policy remains in place: enhanced cleaning, showers and water fountains open, HEPA / UV air filters, masks optional for fully vaccinated people, masks mandatory for unvaccinated.
ZOOM
With limited demand, as some of you have asked to not drop online Zoom classes, we are continuing to run Zoom classes until further notice.
Hope to see you in Astoria,
Martin & Zhana
