Good news for Bend Yoga's future

Hi Bend friends,

I have good news to share with you!!! (and I know you’ve been waiting for it…)

I am so pleased to announce our very own Krissy Schulke as the future owner of Bend Yoga!

Krissy has been teaching at Bend since 2022. She’s a familiar face around the studio, a talented yoga teacher, and a core member of the team. I am positively tickled to have her step into this role and I know she’ll be a great success! Please join me in extending all your very best wishes to her as she takes this important step forward. You can reach her at krissy@bendyoga.studio

During this transition Krissy and I will be working side-by-side to make sure everything continues to flow smoothly ‘round the studio. There will be a point in the future when Bend passes officially and fully from my hands to Krissy’s; we’ll let you know when that day arrives. I know this wonderful community will be there to support and uplift Krissy in the same ways you’ve supported and uplifted me for over six years. 

Passing Bend on to a member of my team has always been my deepest wish. Thank you for your patience over the past few weeks as I navigated these waters. I appreciate all of the questions, care, and concern you’ve expressed to me about the future of Bend. I have received it all as evidence of your deeply held feelings for this place. Thank you for being here. Thank you for caring about here. You’ve made this such a wonderful place to be.

And so–now that the door has opened–it’s my time to walk through it.

This is the beginning of my goodbyes, Bend friends. 

Welcoming Krissy into this new role allows me the chance to step back and say thank you. To express my gratitude for all you’ve given me for the past 6+ years.  To give you all some goodbye hugs. 

On Tuesday, May 26 please join us for a special Open House and outdoor class on the Hibberd plaza. Krissy and I will be co-teaching the class to recognize this “passing of the torch” moment. Come for a visit, a hug, or a few vinyasas. I would love to see you there.

With lots of excitement(!!!) and deep, deep gratitude,

As always, namaste.
