Help support De La Sol Yoga Studios

Hi, my name is Katie McClelland and I am the owner of De La Sol Yoga Studios, founded in 2007. The studio has brought together thousands of people over the years and is a space that fosters connection and community, personal development, healing, health, laughter and solace. Making it through Covid was hard and I had to close my beloved second location in Waterdown.

I have been shouldering a large amount of debt since Covid (just like so many small businesses). I pay monthly for the back rent owed from the Waterdown studio, as well as the buildout for that space. Now, as I face the third break-in at my Hamilton studio in under 12 months, (with everything of value stolen or damaged), I am hoping to find some support from the community.

I am launching this Go Fund Me as a grateful, and humble response to the De La Sol students who have asked me how they can support me during this challenging time.

My hope is to recoup some of the costs of the stolen and damaged goods, install a better security system and if possible, pay down some of my Covid debt.

I know De La Sol is well loved by so many, and continues to thrive from the love, loyalty and support from all of the students, staff, teacher trainees, volunteers and more. If you can offer a little bit of financial support, I would be deeply grateful.

As a token of my gratitude, I would like to offer donors gift cards in the following amounts:

$10 for $100 donation

$30 for $250 donation

$75 for $500 donation

$250 for $1000 donation

Lastly, I want to acknowledge and thank the amazing DLS staff that immediately rallied and have been tirelessly cleaning the studio and putting it back together, and the Hamilton Police Force for being so supportive and for dealing with difficult situations every single day.

Thanks for considering <3
