Finding A Center Of Balance In A Rapidly Changing World
PAWTUCKET – The new watchword of Shri Yoga, which is dedicated to light and prosperity, may soon become “expect the unexpected,” striking a pose of flexibility and nimbleness, with the ability to pivot with the best of entrepreneurs in Rhode Island.
On Thursday, Jan. 30, the nonprofit urban outreach yoga studio had closed on buying its new location at 390 Pine St., an historic, two-story, L-shaped brick building constructed between 1880 and 1882, culminating a two-year effort fund-raising effort to secure a new home.
The building had been part of the former Conant Thread Co., once the largest textile mill complex in the Blackstone Valley that had served as Pawtucket’s largest employer for decades.
On Sunday, Feb. 23, Shri Yoga had hosted a tour of the building for its staff and teachers and supporters, displaying the architectural plans on the walls, a vision of positive change and transformation.
