BIZNOTE: Spira Power Yoga closing Admiral location

Another West Seattle closure announced by email today (thanks for the forwards!) – Spira Power Yoga is closing its Admiral location after almost 11 years. Online classes will continue, and Spira Power Yoga’s Issaquah studio will remain open, but proprietor Dora Gyarmati is ending her business’s physical presence in West Seattle. In the email announcement, she says that “we did not make this decision lightly. I have been working, literally without a single day off, including weekends for two years now. We also carry a very large financial overhead. Something had to give. Closing West Seattle brick-and-mortar is the right step to provide financial stability and emotional balance for my family life.” And she notes that “it is not so much closure as moving the business online. Since 80% of current West Seattle yogis prefer online classes, truly, it will be business as usual.” She goes into more of the details behind the decision in this essay. Spira Power Yoga opened in the space at 2332 California SW in the summer of 2011. The announcement says the “last class in the brick-and-mortar West Seattle studio will be on February 28th.” (Image from Google Maps’ Street View)

    Change is inevitable and I wish Dora and the entire Spira family all love and success in the future.  Thank you for being an important part of my life in West Seattle and my continuing yoga-filled existence!  Love & Light, Tracy K.

    I read your essay and am saddened to lose another local brick and mortar small business. But Iā€™m so impressed with all you and your business accomplished – so big kudos from a fellow business owner šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘

    Spira meant so much to me, and as Dora states in her essay it was my church, a little spiritual sanctuary and community.  I am saddened they were hit so hard with the pandemic.   I was an annual member, but had to take a hiatus when the pandemic hit due to nursing some injuries.  I will definitely miss this yoga studio.  Glad they will keep on online presence.  Dora and all the teachers were phenomenal.

Sorry, comment time is over.
