Dear SHPY Community, It has been a number of months since I last formally reached out to update you on the pause in our in-person classes and I want to thank you for your patience, words of encouragement and the many well wishes. I have spent much of the time since my last email working to ensure an eventual safe return to and a successful future for our beloved SHPY-Dormont studio. I believe I have a solid plan in place thanks to the enduring support of our current studi...o pass holders, the success of the Pay It Forward Pass sale back in April, some SBA funding that we finally received and your ongoing attendance at our virtual classes to continue to weather this pause until it is safe and responsible to return to in-person offerings. Since the science continues to show that being in a closed space in a group of people especially while working out and breathing heavily for long periods of time is still one of the highest risk scenarios for spreading COVID-19, I have made the difficult decision to keep SHPY’s in-person classes on pause until, at least, January 1, 2021 at which time I will reassess the situation. I believe this will give a bit more time to understand the impact on our area as schools attempt to re-open and a chance to continue to monitor the evolving best practices for yoga studios especially around offering heated indoor classes. (My hope is that we can safely be open in some capacity by the studio’s 10th birthday on April 15, 2021 so fingers crossed for that.) All studio passes remain on pause and will be fully honored when we reopen for in-person classes. In the meantime, I invite you to join us for our daily livestream classes. (Link: https://app.namastream.com/#/shpy-bfy-online/about/info) To practice anytime, try our on-demand classes and/or the FREE MP3 class page on our website. I hope you and your loved ones are doing well and I truly can’t wait until I can stand in the middle of the beautiful sun-filled SHPY-Dormont studio with all of you and confidently say, breathe in once again. My Very Best. ~Stacey Vespaziani South Hills Power Yoga - Owner

Yoga Churchview Farm Update: Due to the increasing number of COVID-19 cases in our area and the voluntary stay-at-home protocol issued today by Allegheny County through, at least, July 10 we have cancelled the July 8 farm class.
