With Love and Gratitude
Dear MBDY + be Community,
This is one of the hardest messages I've ever had to write.
For seven years, MBDY + be has been my heart, my second home. A dream come true. We've built something here that is rare and sacred, a place where movement, connection, and healing live side by side. A place where women of all ages and backgrounds have come together to grow stronger, feel seen, and come home to themselves.
And because I love this community so deeply, this next part is incredibly hard to share.
After much reflection and with the full support of my husband and family, I've decided to close the MBDY + be studio at the end of March 2026.
This decision comes with so many emotions. It is not sudden or reactionary; it's the result of long conversations, deep listening to my body, and recognizing that it's time for me to take a step back, rest, and realign.
But please know: I am not quitting the journeyโI'm rerouting it.
This isn't goodbye. I'm taking time for a sabbatical, a season of rest, renewal, continued learning, and profound discovery. I'm still passionate about helping women lead balanced, healthy lives. I'm still committed to cutting through the noise in the wellness space and sharing what's real, grounded, and healing. That work will continue, just in a new form.
Unlike many businesses that close without warning, I believe in transparency. I want to give everyone, clients, teachers, and staff, time to process, reflect, and most importantly, enjoy the time we still have together. This community means everything to me. Your well-being, your presence, and your trust are what have kept us going this long.
What this means practically:
No new memberships will be sold in 2026.
All autopay memberships will conclude on their renewal date in January.
Beginning in January, we'll offer a $99 unlimited 30-day pass and drop-ins only.
You may continue using your existing 5- and 10-class cards through our final day on March 27.
We kindly ask that you make the most of these next few months, take the classes you love, celebrate your progress, and enjoy the beautiful energy we've created together.
Though our daily classes will end, our community will not.
We will stay connected. We will find ways to gather, to share, to grow. The spirit of MBDY + be doesn't live in the walls of a studio; it lives in all of us. And that spirit will go with each of us wherever we move next.
Thank you for every class, every breath, every conversation, every hug, every ounce of support you've given me and this space. You've changed my life. And I hope, in some way, we've changed yours too.
With so much love and gratitude,
Elease
