Yoga Studio Set to Reopen

Anxious Yogawood fans won't need to wait long for their next fix, as the popular yoga studio's replacement, YogaTree, is set to open this weekend. 

Yogawood owner Beth Filla announced in November plans to close the Riverton location and focus on Yogawood’s other location in Collingswood. Yogawood held its last class last week.

YogaTree owner Lynn Horan, a former student and teacher at Yogawood, said she's excited to launch the new business and has planned two open houses for this weekend: the first from 12-4 p.m. Saturday, April 6, and another from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, April 7.

As part of her preparations for opening YogaTree, Horan solicited ideas for new programs from the community and got a strong response, which she described as "very exciting and very encouraging."

Among some of the added offerings:

• A Pilates class
• Noontime yoga on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, for "people who will want to come on lunch breaks."
• A beginner's/basics class on Monday mornings
• A 6 p.m. class Monday through Thursday

Horan, a longtime Cinnaminson resident, spent a few years in Chicago recently, but after moving back, joined Yogawood last year to practice and teach.

“It’s a really nice yoga community with wonderful teachers and wonderful students,” Horan said.
