Is BLU Really Closing?

NOPE!!—just launching a new chapter of who I am and what I have to offer!"

Whoa, that is a way to title a weekly newsletter, right? 

When you live in a small community it is hard to not have the rumor mill run wild. So, it has come time for me to share with you all some exciting news!

I’ll be stepping away from owning BLU studio + wellness, which will close at the end of March.

It’s time for me to embrace new adventures. The past nine months have been a journey of challenges, healing, and growth through my breast cancer experience. As cliché as it sounds, cancer truly makes you reflect on what matters most.

I discovered some really great things:

1. I LOVE LOVE LOVE teaching! I love teaching yoga classes, nutrition classes, working 1:1 with clients, and being there to support people. I THRIVE in that space…and will continue to teach!

2. I need to focus on myself and my own healing. My breast cancer journey didn't end with  surgery or  radiation. I’ve come to realize healing from cancer takes a lot of work and time.

3. Running a studio is not something I’m passionate about. And to be honest, I need to dig into what supports me mentally, physically, financially, and spiritually.

4. Number 3 leans right into this last one. Letting go of Blu allows me to focus on expanding my teaching and coaching opportunities beyond our local community. I'm working on creating more online offerings including functional nutrition courses, online coaching, and yoga programs.

With time, these new adventures will get rolled out and announced to you. I am not going anywhere, and in reality I am going to be more accessible to each and every one of you.

I like to think about it this way, the studio I created may be closing, I am not!

This is where I get to give you all a new launch of who I am and what I have to offer this community locally, and online into the rest of the world!

In the coming days, you will receive some emails giving you great information of what is to come! 

OK, so here is one of the best parts of this whole journey we are all on…

 A yoga studio will still exist in Bayfield!

Maria Russo, one of my incredible yoga teachers who has been with me for the last year is taking the HUGE leap to create her own magical and dynamic yoga studio! I’m so excited to share more information about this new space she will be creating for April 2025. Stay tuned the next email will have some juicy details.

Change is strange, hard, and uncomfortable. Sometimes we just don’t know how to process all the things and we can get into a space of confusion, frustration, and fear. I want every one of you to know this decision was not made lightly. Each and every one of you brought a light to my space. THAT IS THE GIFT! 

I invite all of you to bring that light to the space Maria is creating. We’re so very lucky to have a yoga studio in Bayfield! I get to keep teaching! I get to share my passion for yoga, meditation, and self care with all of you. I can’t put into words the gratitude I have for this opportunity.

Details for all of you:

• BLU studio + wellness will be open until March 17, 2025

• ALL services are still available! Yoga classes, Get in for your Holistic Facial, and Massage will still be available to book online until the March 17th.

• Maria will be opening her studio around April 1, 2025, we will keep you  updated on this transition as we move along.

• PLEASE reach out to ask any questions you may have. I am here to help in any way that I can. Email me at info@blubayfield.com or reach out via phone or message.
