JP Centre Yoga Studio Opens
The brightly-lit studio occupied ample space on the third floor above City Feed. It is one of the few area studios to offer hot yoga.
The afternoon before JP Centre Yoga Studio opened, JP Patch took a tour and had a talk with cofounders Sejal Shah and Daniel Max. The new studio occupies a well-lit space on the third floor above City Feed on Centre Street.
JP Patch: JP has quite an ecosystem of yoga classes and studios. Why did you decide to join it?

What trends are you seeing in yoga?
Max: It's evolving. It's speaking to a lot of different people in a lot of different ways.
Shah: "I have the perspective of someone sitting at a computer for eight hours a day," said the radiologist, who said yoga helps her restore her body's normal alignment.
What classes do you offer?
Max: All classes are all level. [Meaning anyone can take any class. They also offer basics classes. They are one of the few area studios offering hot yoga. They teach a Vinyasa style that is more about flow, Max said, than holding certain poses.]
How will this place change in the next year?
Shah: We hope to develop the studio with lots of input from the community.
