Yoga studio · NYC, LA, Austin

Y7 Studio built candlelit hip-hop yoga into an eight-studio chain, then closed every one in September 2026. Staff say they went unpaid for weeks first, and the founder had already walked away.

The Big Picture

Permanently Closed

Y7 Studio closed all eight of its yoga studios in September 2026, confirmed that month against the company's own site and reporting by Inc. Founder Sarah Larson Levey had left weeks earlier. Staff went unpaid from late July after operations passed from FitLab to VM Fitness, and members lost prepaid packages. The operator has said some New York studios might reopen; none had by late September.
