Help us save Live In Joy Yoga & Wellness
Donation protected
Hi,
Live In Joy Yoga & Wellness in Audubon, NJ is a small little yoga studio that has been open in our community for over 12 years. We provide many creative outlets including various types of yoga for all levels, teacher training, workshops, continuing ed courses, massage therapy and other types of healing arts, events, small local business support, etc.
When Covid shut this business down, we tried to adapt in order to continue to provide online services. To keep our community going, some of our instructors offered free online classes to our clients in order to provide a channel through which people could still safely connect with others, and to provide a small amount of relief during an extremely stressful situation.
During the Covid shutdown, we had to use our financial reserves to keep up with my monthly expenses. After we were able to reopen, due to mandated restrictions, our small business never fully recovered. we were turned down for small business loans and Covid relief grants. Out of sheer passion, some of our instructors continued to work unpaid until this unprecedented time came to an end.
Business is beginning to pick up, however we are now struggling to catch up.
Live In Joy gives back through donation classes, supports shopping locally within our community, and supports small businesses. We believe in our community. It's what I'm asking for your help with.
Thank you for your time and consideration. Here's to moving onward and looking forward to better times ahead!
Sincerely,
Sharon Plower
