Yoga Stuff shop on Maltings closes

Words by Tristan Ovington

THE YOGA supplies store, Yoga Stuff, previously located in The Maltings, has closed. The owner Ilona Coryndon Burns didn’t give the reason for the closure when she announced it on social media.

“This post makes us very sad… but due to circumstances beyond our control, as of this evening, Yoga Stuff has ceased trading. Thank you so much to our fabulous customers and friends who’ve supported us. We love you all and it’s been amazing getting to know you and be part of your journeys. Namaste (the sound bath this Friday at Rafiki is still running).”

Salisbury residents expressed their sadness and sympathy, with one stating: “Devastated!! Salisbury is losing its best shop!” And another declaring: “Oh my gosh… no. I’m so sorry to read this. I wish I was just a little closer to having been popping in more often! Sending so much love. I know how much work you put into it all.”

A journalist from the Salisbury and Avon Gazette also observed many hopeful shoppers try to visit Yoga Stuff on Sunday, only to be disappointed by the sign informing them of the closure.

The decision came as a shock to many as the shop had proved popular since opening in October 2022 [Yoga Stuff open and already proving a serenely successful business]. More recently, the owner had recently opened up a studio space – as covered in a previous issue of the Gazette –that was proving very successful.

The owner was not available for comment.

The shop opened in October 2022, followed in April this year by the launch of Studio 1
