The Ammayanni Yoga Center & School, located in Wyncote Commons, is closing up shop as of next month.

Owner Bridget Yanni is handing the business over to Chrissie Leech of Jenkintown Dance Arts, who will be stepping in as the new Director/Owner of the studio.

“Bridget approached me before Christmas to see if I wanted to move her yoga classes into my dance studio,” Leech said. “She wanted to step away but didn’t want to leave her longtime students without a yoga home. After some thought I decided to rent the AmmaYanni space myself and open it as a separate entity.”

The new studio is called Joy Movement Arts. The transition will take place on April 1.

“It has been an honor and a joy to practice and grow with all of you, and we are delighted that the community will continue to grow and expand in many new ways AND that we all still journey together,” Yanni said in a statement.
