Dear Yogis,
As we enter the final week of classes at Yoga Haven, we find ourselves feeling especially grateful for the community that has grown here over the years.
There are so many memories to cherish—the interactive Ayurvedic cooking demonstration Kathryn hosted with a visiting expert, our International Day of Yoga celebrations, and, most importantly, the friendships we've created along the way.
These moments are what make a yoga community special, and they are what we're carrying with us into this next chapter.
Thank you, too, for all of your enthusiasm and encouragement as you've seen our vision for the new studio begin to take shape. Your response to the concept pictures has been so positive, and we are excited to continue sharing the progress with you!
Want to stay connected? You'll soon receive invites to connect to Yoga at Studio 260's social media. And if social media isn't your thing, no worries! We'll soon have a text message option you can opt into for Yoga at Studio 260 updates, including pop-up classes, community events, renovation progress, and opening information.
While we say goodbye to our last week of classes at Yoga Haven, we're not saying goodbye to our community. We hope you'll continue to gather with us at our upcoming community events throughout the transition.
We can't wait to welcome you home.
Until then, let's enjoy this final week together and celebrate all that Yoga Haven has given us.
With gratitude,
Heather & Jessie

Dear Yogis,
First and foremost, thank you for your encouragement, support, and enthusiasm. You are the reason we're moving forward. This community is truly something special, and our greatest hope is to preserve and nurture the welcoming spirit that has made it feel like home to so many.
We also want to thank everyone who has shared photos and memories for Kathryn's keepsake memory book. Your stories and snapshots are a beautiful reminder of the friendships, laughter, and shared moments that have shaped this community over the years. We can't wait to present it to Kathryn at her celebration on August 15. Watch for your invitation coming soon!
Now, keep reading below for the latest renovation updates and a peek at what's happening behind the scenes. We're excited to share this journey with you!
With gratitude,
Heather & Jessie

Dear Yoga Haven Community,
Kathryn has created a loving, committed, and deeply rooted community at Yoga Haven. Her vision of making yoga accessible to every body resonates deeply with both Jessie Skubna and me, which is why we are honored to partner together in creating a new studio that will carry that same spirit forward.
Before we share what's next, we want to say thank you. What Kathryn has built—with your support, dedication, and presence—deserves to be celebrated. Together, you have created something far greater than a yoga studio. You have created a community.
The building is not what made Yoga Haven special. It is the friendships we've formed, the shared breath, the conversations before and after class, and yes—even giving Kathryn feedback during Yoga for Osteoporosis so she doesn't make us do the "easy" pose again. Those moments of laughter, encouragement, and connection are the heart of this community, and they are exactly what Jessie and I are committed to preserving.
So, what does this mean for you?
It means your community is continuing.
Our teachers are staying and our schedule will be similar to what we have now. Pricing and class registrations will remain allowing for a smooth transition while we prepare our new home.
Our new studio will be located at 260 Avenue A SW, Winter Haven, FL, in beautiful downtown Winter Haven. The building is currently being renovated, and we're excited to welcome you there this autumn (fingers crossed!). We'll share updates along the way through email, social media, and conversations at class, so you'll always know what's happening.
During the transition, we hope you'll stay connected with us through community classes, pop-up events, and special opportunities to gather while our new space is taking shape.
And speaking of gathering, we'd love for you to join us as we celebrate Kathryn and everything she has given this community. Our first event will be a celebration in her honor on August 15, with more details coming soon.
We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to continue Kathryn's legacy and to help nurture the community that so many of us call home. While our address will change, the heart of this community will remain the same.
Thank you for being part of this next chapter. We can't wait to welcome you home.
With gratitude and appreciation,
Heather Brown & Jessie Skubna

Yoga has always been about people—not walls.
The studio space is changing, but our practice, our teachers, and our community remain together.
We are excited to share that current students and teachers are coming together to open a beautiful new space where we can continue practicing together.
You'll continue seeing the familiar teachers you know and love, many of your favorite classes, and the same pricing structure you've become accustomed to.
While our new studio is being prepared, we'll stay connected through special pop-up classes and community events.
Thank you for being part of this next chapter—we can't wait to welcome you home.
Letter from Kathryn
Dear Yoga Community,
Three years ago, Yoga Haven opened its doors with a simple vision: to create a loving and welcoming Yoga space where people could move, breathe, connect, and grow: a place of community. Many thanks to each of you for co-creating this exceptional space.
Together, we've shared countless classes, special events, moments of transformation, laughter, challenges, and accomplishments. We've built a community that extends far beyond the walls of a Yoga studio and for that I am incredibly grateful.
Soon I will celebrate my 72nd trip around the sun. Although I will continue teaching, this birthday will bring my retirement from owning and managing the Studio. As with all things in life, Yoga teaches us to embrace change with a loving and open heart. With that spirit, I am announcing that Yoga Haven will be closing after the classes on Wednesday August 12th.
But – as the saying goes - when one door closes, another door opens. Although Yoga Haven’s chapter is coming to a close, we are pleased to share that a new Yoga space will be opening in Winter Haven sometime this autumn with a new name and new location. We are delighted to pass the torch to a team that shares our passion for Yoga, wellness, community, and mindful movement. We believe this new space will continue to be a place where you can deepen your practice and make meaningful connections. And it’s made all the better because at the new space you will find the Yoga Haven teachers and class schedule, so the transition will be very easy. And I’m sure they will come up with some new offerings to keep you inspired!
Over the coming weeks, we invite you to celebrate with us. Join your favorite classes, reconnect with fellow students, and help us honor the beautiful community we've created together. Let's make these final weeks a joyful reflection of everything we've built.
You can use the passes you’ve already purchased until they expire or until closing.
And, to keep things simple as we approach our closing, these are the final pricing options:
-$108 Unlimited Classes for 30 days + Free T-shirt*
Available for purchase from July 8 – July 13
-$50 5 Class Pass + Free T-shirt*
Available for purchase from July 8 – August 1
-$12 Single Mat Yoga Class
-$10 Single Chair Yoga Class
My goal is to give everyone the opportunity to continue practicing together while ensuring all passes are used before we close after the classes on August 12th.
Most importantly, we encourage you to continue your Yoga journey with the new space when it opens. The practice we've shared is bigger than any one space, and we are excited to see this community continue to flourish in its next chapter.
Speaking for myself and the Yoga Haven teachers – We send you a big Thank You for being part of this incredible journey. Every class, every conversation, every shared breath has meant the world to us. We leave this chapter with full hearts and immense gratitude for the privilege of serving such an amazing community.
Here's to celebrating the past, embracing the present, and welcoming the future.
With love and gratitude,
Kathryn and the Yoga Haven Teachers
P.S. I will be sharing more details about the new Yoga space, its ownership and opening dates in the coming weeks. Stay tuned - we can't wait for you to experience what's next!
