Greetings!

So many of you took the time and effort to fill out our survey. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate all of the constructive and compassionate feedback. The most important takeaways are:

  1. We are going to do everything we can to make the experience of coming to O2 as stress-free and nourishing as possible.
  2. We have some incredibly passionate and intelligent students and have so much to learn.
  3. We have some really dedicated students and will make every effort to prioritize your experience.
  4. We need to look forward not backward, look towards what we CAN do rather that we we cannot, and be patient with ourselves and others as we negotiate this new normal.

I feel inspired and motivated to keep building a stronger, more present, and compassionate community. I feel so lucky to be part of it! Please see below to see your feedback in action.

Big love,
Mimi
Putting Your Feedback into Action: Upcoming Changes at O2 Yoga

Wow! Thank you to all who took the time to give us such constructive and supportive feedback. We heard you!

Here are some of the things that we are working on, and plan to implement over the next month.

  • As of this Monday, November 22nd, we are changing the preregistration deadline for online classes to 10 minutes before class, instead of 30 minutes. We just want to give students attending enough time to receive the invite and get settled for class. That said, and this is important, you can email us at info@o2yoga.com up until the time the class starts to register. Honestly, we want you to make it to class even if you are coming in under the wire!

  • We will no longer require preregistration for in-person classes. Although preregistration is helpful to us, you can just walk in! That said, if you are brand new, please arrive at least 10 minutes early so we can get you oriented.

  • We will be adding more 45-minute Basics classes, including at 7 p.m. on Mondays, in-studio and online (hybrid) with Toby and at 7 p.m. on Wednesdays, online only with Carol. Start signing up now!

  • We will be offering a Back to Basics workshop each month, starting in January.
  • You can sign up here for Back to Basics with Tina- Saturday, 1/15/2022.

  • We will begin offering a restorative yoga class with Emily Sullivan starting in January.

  • We are adding other teachers to our pre-recorded classes! You will see classes with Toby, Jimena, Tina, Carol, and hopefully a few more! We are also working on easier access to these classes.

  • We are revamping our website to make all of the options so much easier to access and limit the inevitable confusion and frustration. We want this to be easy and stress-free!

  • We are now now on NextDoor Somerville which is a great way to participate more in the local community.

  • We will be offering a “Get Back to Yoga” special for both current and lapsed students, which will include some cool O2 Yoga merch.

  • We will be offering a free class every month!

  • We will be doing cross-promotions with local businesses.

  • We are also taking a closer look at the timing and dates of our upcoming retreat to Nicaragua to make sure that it will not be disruptive to our in-studio and online schedule.

ABOUT O2 YOGA... 
O2 Yoga provides students a place to grow in their practice, to be challenged, to work towards goals, and to be part of a community. Our Astanga-inspired, athletic, vinyasa classes all build on a theme — every month, a specific focus inspires our teachers' unique sequences — which gives students the chance to learn more about a posture or major tenet of the practice. Every teacher at our studio has gone through Mimi’s 200-Hour Yoga Alliance Certified Teacher Training Program, so the O2 style shines through in every class. Can't get enough O2? Visit o2yoga.com for more information on the studio, and always feel free to email us with questions at info@o2yoga.com.
