Y2 Yoga Charlotte
After a tumultuous two-year expansion project, Y2 Yoga has successfully quintupled its size and opened the largest yoga studio on the east coast right here in the Cotswold Shopping Center.
More than once throughout the project, limited finances and construction snafus left the future uncertain, but the little yoga studio that could beat the odds and grew from a modest 2,500 square feet to a mature two-story tricked out 12,000-square-foot yoga oasis complete with on-site spa and cafe.
Here’s a look at how they’re running this massive operation with stats from Global Marketing Strategist Jennifer Decurtins…
