ON CONSTRUCTION

Hello BREATHE community!

We trust that the first days of the new year are off to a strong start.

We have lots of exciting plans for 2024 that we can’t wait to share with you soon, including: Teacher Trainings, Retreats, Workshops, Special Events, and more.

But first! We wanted to share a progress report on the construction end.

The historic Waugh Building that our cozy studio is housed within is in the middle of extensive renovations (as you may have noticed!).

The building owners are focusing on the building’s systems, as well as updating the ground floor lobby and improving the public and common spaces.

Many of these improvements will also benefit BREATHE, but as we’ve all experienced, construction can be slow and frustrating, and the construction schedule, as well as the scope, is out of our control.

Improvements to look forward to when construction is complete:

  • Re-pointing of the brick on the exterior, which will help with insulation and temperature control (completed)

  • Replacing old plumbing pipes and sewage lines throughout the building that were close to failure (completed)

  • Replacing the JFK St windows (there is still a little more work they need to complete in the hot room to completely seal the windows)

  • Installing fire sprinkler system throughout the building (mostly complete but will be closing in some of the exposed pipes)

  • Installation of a new Fresh Air System throughout the building (still in process. Will provide dehumidification to the hot room and clean, fresh air to the entire building)

  • A more open and welcoming front lobby (in process)

  • Improvements to stairs and hallways (in process)


The ductwork for the fresh air system is being installed this upcoming week, which means an additional 2-day closure on Tuesday and Wednesday (January 9th & 10th).

If you recently bought a pass, please reach out and we will add a few days to make up for our closure!

We will be holding a series of FREE POP-UP CLASSES across the street at Central Rock Climbing Gym. Classes are free, and we highly encourage all of you to keep your new year momentum going and come over for some Yoga & IHP classes!

We do not know if we will have to close again, but assure you we communicate as soon as we know of the building’s plans and are able to put alternative plans in place.

We appreciate your continued patience and grace as we continue to experience some of the inconveniences of the building work over the next several weeks. When it’s all done, our old building will be new(er) and improved!  LET'S GO!

Stronger together, every day.

xoxo,
TeamBREATHE
