Y7 Studio is the hip-hop yoga chain that defined candlelit vinyasa. It's now one of 11 brands inside a VC-backed fitness platform, and its founder stayed on only as a VP under new ownership.
The Big Picture
Y7 Studio was co-founded by Sarah Larson Levey and Mason Levey in 2013 and acquired in February 2025 by FitLab, a VC-backed 11-brand fitness platform that also operates Nike Studios. Levey stayed on as VP, but operational control sits with FitLab management and its investors. Y7 now answers to a leveraged platform funded by M13, Snoop Ventures, and a $65 million credit facility.
