I'm Jesselle Peña, the owner of Yoga Shine. During an evening class this week, a fire broke out in our bathroom. Fortunately no one was hurt, the fire was put out quickly and there was no major structural damage to our building — but the fire sprinklers caused major flooding throughout the studio and our floors will need to be completely replaced.

Unfortunately our insurance policy did not cover our floors, and we had to take out an emergency loan to purchase new flooring so that we could get the studio reopened and back to business as quickly as possible.

Since the fire, many of you have already asked how you can help us get past this crisis. If you're a part of the Yoga Shine community, I would so deeply appreciate your support in covering the cost of this unexpected expense. Thank you in advance for any help you can give!
