Writing on social media, owners said: “With hearts full of gratitude and emotion, Meadowlark will be closing on May 31. We’ve had many of you ask how you could help, which has meant the world. If we could ask anything of you now, it would be to please keep bringing your smiling faces and beautiful authentic energy into the studio as much as you can during May.”

Describing their loyal customers as ‘family’ they added: “Closing up after 12 years is expensive on so many levels, and we would be so grateful if you can shout it from the rooftops - book drop-in classes and use your blocks, bring us your smiles and let’s remember all the joy.”

Several Meadowlark regulars shared kind messages online - with many detailing what the yoga studio meant to them.

One said: “I’ve met some wonderful people and friends along the way being part of this community” whilst another added: “It will forever be a joyful memory in my heart and thank you for it all.”

Other expressed their sorrow after hearing the news with one describing the closure as ‘the end of an era.’ Another said: “It is going to be difficult to imagine Edinburgh without Meadowlark… for years this place was a second home to me. I send to all of you a hug and I wish you best of luck for the next chapter.”
