Dear Elk Rock Yoga Community,
After nearly 7 years of leadership, I have decided to step down as Director and Owner of Elk Rock Yoga (ERY). I am excited to announce that I have recruited colleague Krista Lennartz, a familiar face in the Portland yoga and Pilates community, to take over as Director and Owner starting September 1st.
Since acquiring Elk Rock Yoga in 2020, I have helped guide the studio from an online and downtown Milwaukie presence during the shutdown to where it stands today—one of the most beloved and respected yoga communities in the Pacific Northwest. Over the past 9 years, ERY has grown to serve communities, corporate partners, and yoga students across Washington, Oregon, and California. During my tenure, we expanded our membership, developed signature programs like the True Self Training Program, and explored online initiatives, philanthropy, retail wellness, partnerships, and retreats.
Serving the Elk Rock Yoga community has been the honor of my professional career. I am incredibly proud of what this community has accomplished together and grateful to the members, partners, and team who made it possible. I leave knowing the studio is well-positioned for continued longevity under Krista's leadership as I prepare for my next chapter.
Thank you for everything.
Fawn
