“This new space will be a really grounding space where you can gather with friends for a cup of tea and a snack and chat the afternoon away,” Abott said in a 2025 video announcing the new venture.
“It will be a peaceful space where you can come alone in the midst of a challenging day and meditate, read a book or just be present. It will be a space for movement with yoga and fitness classes; for practicing mindfulness with a free bilingual mental health library of resources; for learning and growth with workshops on nutrition, functional wellness and mental health; and for gathering and community with social events, dance nights, which I know my husband is really excited for.”
For this new business, The Yoga Loft is partnering with SimpliciTea & Co., offering herbal blends crafted to support wellness, balance and vitality.
The new venue features an abundance of live plants and a cozy seating area where guests can hang out and relax.
Abott is excited to open Oasis, which will be a welcoming venue and an accessible space for everyone in the community.
“We love our space here in south Bethlehem,” Abott said in the video.
“It’s beautiful. It’s huge. We’re grateful for it. But sometimes people can’t come up three flights of stairs to join us for what we have here. We’re excited to be on a ground floor and to make it accessible to everybody. We’ll have a very wide range of options and pricing and free resources.”
For its opening week, March 24-28, Oasis is offering a special promotion of $25 for an opening week pass to attend unlimited classes.
