At the beginning of this year, downtown Hapeville welcomed an addition to its series of storefronts: Sanskrit Moon yoga studio.
The studio was founded by Chandra Fowler, a mother of two and resident of Hapeville, which she calls “the jewel of the South.”
Fowler says she was motivated to open Sanskrit Moon after her community studio closed down.
“When it closed, my heart broke,” Fowler said. “I didn’t understand why it didn’t work, because I felt like so many people could benefit from yoga.”
Since its grand opening in February, Fowler’s studio added classes and instructors, such as Tuyen Nguyen, who offers courses specifically for the surrounding Vietnamese community.
