Help Darlene's Fight with Kidney Failure

In May 2023, Darlene Kiehl, owner of Some Like It Hot yoga studio in Novato, CA was abruptly sidelined learning she has kidney failure. Darlene opened the studio in 2013 and I was fortunate to be a student in her very first class. What was once her dream to open her own studio, this new chapter in her life, has presented life changing challenges as she fights to survive financially and physically. Darlene is being added to the kidney transplant waitlist and spends 5 hours a day, 3 days a week in dialysis. This new way of life has become what seems like an insurmountable set of obstacles.

To our extended Novato family, we are reaching out for any support to help Darlene navigate through this demanding time.
