Although Yogaflow is currently in the last phase of construction and ready to open soon, it has been in the works for the last 5 or so years.
The first step was to find the right space. This took about 3 years of searching as we wanted to purchase the property rather than sign a lease. Too many studios have closed their doors due to lease and landlord issues which have caused members to lose their hard earned money on prepaid memberships. We wanted to own our own space to avoid such problems and make sure our business would be around to serve the community for a very long time.
We felt that the Milner Heights community was the perfect neighborhood to plant our roots. It is lively and vibrant with young families and professionals who could really use our service to bring balance into their busy lives. So when the new Lattice2 building announced the pre-sale of its ground floor commercial strata units, we jumped at the opportunity.
The property was a pre-construction so completion date was delayed for a half year. We finally took possession in October 2019. It took another month or so to get the proper permits to build. By this time it was close to Christmas and everything was slowing down. Construction of the studio officially began in January 2020. However about halfway through, Covid-19 hit the world in March. In April construction came to a sudden halt as businesses were shutting down all around us.
After a month of no activity, construction resumed in May when the worst of the Covid-19 passed and Phase 2 of the BC re-opening plan began. Although we have been experiencing delays due to trades and contractors being unavailable through the pandemic, we are excited to announce that our studio is finally starting to take shape and the vision that we had all these years are slowly but surely coming to life.
Although we have been through our ups and downs in the journey of bringing Yogaflow from dream to reality, we feel blessed to have made it to where we are. We are beyond excited to introduce our studio to Langley.
We hope to make a difference in our community and beyond and serve you for many years to come.
