YCSC Holiday Shop Open til 12/5

The Holidays are coming right up, and this year we have a special YCSC Online Holiday Shop! It’s only open now through December 5th, giving you two weeks to choose some cozy sweatshirts, tees, and tanks with our Yoga Center Santa Cruz logo. These are perfect for gift giving, treating yourself, and certainly for spreading a little cheer!

Every purchase supports our studio. After you order, Alice Kennedy will send you a link where you can vote on how you would like the proceeds used - like new yoga props or better soundproofing. Your opinion is valued and appreciated.

Since it’s a pop-up shop, time is limited. The shop closes December 5th so we can make sure everything ships in time for the holidays. If you’re local in Santa Cruz, please feel free to choose the group shipping / local pickup option. If you’re out of town or don’t want to come to the studio to pick up, please choose individual shipping. If you choose group shipping, you can pick up your items at the studio December 20-22 at 12PM. If you can’t come then, don’t worry — we’ll arrange some times in January too!

Just a heads-up: all sales are final, so double-check your order before you buy.
