Shri Yoga Opening Celebrates Passion, Purpose, Presence In Pawtucket

Written By Molly Messier

PAWTUCKET – Years of hard work to preserve an old mill and turn it into 15,000 square feet of thriving modern space came to a climax with Alison Bologna’s ribbon-cutting ceremony at Shri Yoga Studio on Monday.

The mill building at 390 Pine St. is now home to Shri, non-profits, and affordable housing. This fall, a café operated by workforce development group Life, Inc. will open and be operated by adults with disabilities.

“I’m holding back tears because this has been a long and beautiful process,” said Bologna. “Despite the challenges, we are here today, open and thriving with all of you.”

“This has been an under-utilized property that now comes to life for some non-profits, businesses, and affordable housing,” Mayor Donald Grebien told The Breeze. “It’s an awesome thing; Alison took a shell of a building and that investment will help us more in the city.”
