A Message from Kate & Cheryl – A Virtual Studio
Dear BPY Family, We are living through difficult times. It is hard to believe that we have shut down operations in Marlton to help stop the spread of a virus, COVID-19 and launching a virtual studio. I am sure that all of you are experiencing regular moments of disbelief as well. We are feeling a bit surreal, like we are playing parts in a movie. In the midst of all this, we realize how important it is to stay grounded. How important it is to keep up with our internal housekeeping – to mind our thoughts. We are in it deep too.

Cheryl Van Sciver is the co-owner of Balanced Planet Yoga. She teaches all-levels at the studio but has a special place in her heart for beginner classes.
