Studio closings due to inclement weather

If you suspect a class is cancelled because of serious weather conditions, please call the studio. If there's a cancellation, we'll put a recording on the Cascade Yoga Studio phone line (616.464.1610) one hour before start of class. Cancellations are determined independent of school closings.

Because conditions can vary from one side of town to the other, a teacher may not be able to make it to the studio. In this case, CYS will try its best to find a substitute to teach the class. As weather conditions change quickly, please check periodically through the day regarding the status of later day classes.
