Support One Key Yoga Studio

Hi Friends,

I'm reaching out for support on behalf of One Key Yoga studio in Chicago. Like so many small businesses, OKY has been impacted by the effects of COVID-19 and had to close its doors to in-person classes nearly two months ago in observance of national health and safety orders. For the past two months they have moved their classes and mission to the virtual world, with donation-based meditation and yoga classes. It's a big ask, especially with so many communities, individuals, and small businesses feeling the strain, but we are reaching out for community support so that they can re-open their doors and come back together when it's safe to press play again.  

Gina Fitzpatrick opened the doors to One Key Yoga in 2015 with the intention of bringing to union the workshops and classes she was hosting all over the city of Chicago. Over the past five years, the studio has grown into a community of teachers, students, artists, wellness and care-givers learning and growing together. One Key Yoga's core teachers have invested hundreds of hours in professional training and certifications to bring a therapeutic and trauma-informed approach to yoga within and beyond the physical practice. The studio hosts annual training for teachers with Innerpeace Yoga Therapy, and trauma-informed yoga teacher training. They also provides specialized classes for parents and caregivers, acupuncture, and workshops with instructors from across the country in Qi Gong, Sound Healing, and Grief Counseling, as well as community service donating the space to community fundraising. 

While online classes have proved an incredible resource for upholding One Key Yoga's core values, the physical space allows them to continue to expand on the many avenues of care. In order to continue to pay rent and utilities on the space, and support their teachers who are unable to hold regular classes, they're asking for donations to preserve the past five years of work until it is safe to reopen the doors. Anything and everything is deeply appreciated!

From the words of owner & operator Gina Fitzpatrick, 

"We are dedicated to the health and well being of our bodies, our
community, and our planet. All of the teachers and staff are here to help you on your path to becoming your wisest, most vibrant self. We hold this motto deep in our hearts. Open your door to  tend the body – and in the glorious process nourish your soul."

Thank you!!!!
