BIZNOTE: Changes for SoundYoga

| Health | West Seattle businesses | West Seattle news

Longtime WSB sponsor SoundYoga wants you to know, “We’re still here!” despite one big change. Here’s the announcement, and a request:

On February 2, 1998, Chris Dormaier, Yoga instructor and author, founded and began operating the SoundYoga studio at 5639 California Avenue SW.

For nearly 25 years at this location, Chris and her fellow teachers have provided various levels of Yoga classes and Yoga teacher training to many of our West Seattle and broader Seattle-area residents. This past summer, Chris was notified by her landlord that the SoundYoga lease would not be renewed. Well, the time has come to close the beautiful SoundYoga studio space. However, like many businesses, SoundYoga had pivoted to providing online classes during COVID and we will continue to offer online classes after the studio space is gone. We will also offer a limited number of in-person classes near our former studio. If you have studio space to share, please contact us at info@soundyoga.com.

Our last day in the studio was November 30, 2022, and we look forward to continuing to serve the West Seattle community and beyond via our online classes found at SoundYoga.com.

Is this the same landlord who owns the buildings that housed the now-shuttered Pharmaca and Bin 41? Is it possible he didn’t do much about the upkeep but kept raising the rates? Will he tear down these buildings and replace them with more condos?

No, it’s not, I looked up the ownership. An LLC associated with another longtime WSB sponsor, Potter Construction, owns the site. They are moving their own offices into the space from the mixed-use building across the street where they’ve long been a tenant. – TR
