Amplify Medicine Hat – Yoga You4ia

Jan 3, 2022 | 2:00 AM

Local business is the cornerstone of Medicine Hat, that’s why we’re asking you to Amplify Medicine Hat by nominating local businesses we can highlight and support.

Yoga You4ia is a locally-owned yoga studio run by Salli Siewart. The studio is located on Southview Drive and was nominated for pivoting through the pandemic to continue providing support to the community by going virtual. “The owner, Salli Siewert, was able to run virtual classes as soon as the studio was shut down to make sure people could still practice. When allowed to reopen, virtual classes were still held for people uncomfortable with in person classes.”

On top of that, the studio is flexible for those with irregular or increased work schedules so they don’t miss out.

“There are several first responders who attend classes regularly. When the pandemic hit, several were not able to make it to the virtual classes because their work hours had shifted or increased. Salli made sure they still had access by recording the classes the first responders wanted to attend so they could have them available when they had time. It’s just one of the ways Salli helped keep her yoga community going.”

Thanks for your nominations, and thanks to Yoga You4ia for helping us Amplify Medicine Hat. If you would like to nominate a business that has made a difference in our community, click here and tell us how they Amplify Medicine Hat!
