A new yoga studio for Mountain Brook Village

A new yoga studio is coming to Mountain Brook Village. Jimi Yoga will be located in part of the current Linda Dobbins Dance storefront at 2414 Canterbury Road.

The studio will occupy about 2,400 square feet. The owners plan to add showers to the current changing rooms. In addition to yoga services, Jimi will sell yoga clothing items and accessories as well as bottle waters, juice, and blended fruit and vegetable health drinks.

Yoga is a discipline that enhances one's health and well-being by systematically stretching and strengthening muscles throughout the body, increasing circulation to internal organs and glands, quieting the nervous system and improving concentration.

“We hope to enhance and improve the lives of community members,” owners James Lee and Linda West said in the conditional use application that the council approved on April 27. “Yoga allows students to progress at their own pace and is suitable for young people and seniors alike.”

Classes will run between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m., with limited classes and sizes between 10 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Each will be 1.5 hours long, and will accommodate no more than 25 students.

Linda Dobbins Dance is moving to a new location near its current one in Mountain Brook Village. The yoga studio plans to begin its lease in August.
