Dear friends, family, and community,
Β
Philip is a cherished part of so many spaces in Chicago, dedicating his time and energy to guiding and uplifting others. Whether heβs leading a class at Zen Yoga Garage, Midtown Athletic Club, Yodega, here at Movement, or simply offering a listening ear, he brings warmth, wisdom, and support to everyone around him.
Β
Recently, Philip has become aware of a genetic heart condition. Despite his active and healthy lifestyle, doctors discovered an abnormal presence of coronary artery disease. Other methods to intervene were unable to mitigate the severity of the disease, and it has been decided that he will require open-heart bypass surgery to prevent future complications. While this was not the outcome anyone expected, surgery became the best and most urgent option to protect his long-term health.
Β
As he steps away from teaching to focus on recovery, we want him to feel the same love and support he has always given to others. Philip pours his heart into his work, helping students grow physically, mentally, and emotionally. Now, we have the opportunity to show up for him.
Β
Thank you so much to our friends at @zenyogagarage for organizing a GoFundMe for Philip to ease the challenges of his recovery. Weβve tagged the link in our bio. Any supportβwhether itβs a donation, a kind message, or simply sharing his storyβmeans the world.
We thinking of Philip and canβt wait to see him back, stronger than ever. π
