Like every new year, we are and have always been excited to start the new year.  2020 was not any different.  Actually, we were more excited coming into 2020 because Yoga Journey was going to turn 5 years old.  We have set a date for our celebration months in advanced and a week before the day of our celebration, the chatter about a deadly spreading virus was getting louder.  We were struggling if we should postpone or cancel the celebration.  But we recognized how important this celebration not just only to us but also for everyone who helped us build our community.  Your teachers, fellow students, close friends and family, we all gathered and celebrated on February 8, 2020 in the studio.  We had so much food, laughters, conversations, hugs and lots of love felt in the room.  We were so grateful and blessed that the we had the celebration because we had a joyous occasion before we closed the studio the following weeks later.

On the eve of March 15, 2020, we had to make a difficult decision to close our doors because of the state and city-wide lock down and hoping that this would only last for a couple of weeks.  But the situation was getting worse and worse everyday.  Infection and death rates were going up by the thousands.  Having our students and teachers in our hearts and minds, we had to find a way to keep it going.  We first started with Facebook page posts and we eventually got on the Zoom class bandwagon.  Attendance was not the same like our indoor classes, of course, there was nothing like being in a studio with your fellow students and personal guidance from your teachers.  We are grateful for every student who show up for our Live Stream classes and we also appreciate emails from students who sent us emails who checked in with us from time to time on when we were going to re-open.

Later in the year, as we saw other businesses start to open in phases, we waited patiently for our turn.  We had the studio professionally cleaned, new MERV 13 air filters installed, ordered re-usable masks, and stocked up on cleaning products but our turn never came.  

We are now in 2021 and we are still waiting for our turn.  We, along with other yoga studios in Queens formed an alliance and sent a letter to the office of the New York City Mayor pleading to let us open and give us a chance to prove to them that we can operate safely and that everyone can benefit from the practice of yoga during this difficult time.  As of today, we haven't heard any response.

We know that our time is going to come, maybe not anytime sooner but soon.  We have a new leader governing and leading our country out of this pandemic and congress just passed the American Relief Bill that will help us all.  We also now have 3 approved vaccines to protect us from the virus and it's just a matter of time when all of us can be together again.  We are resilient and remain optimistic despite of.

To our students and teachers showing up every class, we truly appreciate you.  You keep up us going.
