Attention Yogi. Here is an interesting story about DC's gentrification's trend on Washington Post. Simple rule -- follow where new studios are heading to set up their shops.
Via Washington Post.
To track the economic transformation of Washington, here's a simple rule: Follow the yoga mats.
The march of yoga studios from west to east across the District dovetails with the development frenzy that began five years ago and is remaking long-stagnant neighborhoods.
And it's not by accident. Owners of yoga studios are drawn to the cheap rents of transitional neighborhoods, naturally, but some developers actively recruit them. They see the studios as symbols of safety for women and amenities for their target demographic.
Inhale...exhale.. it's about following the demographic trend. What an interesting concept! From now on, we should pay attention to new yoga places in a neighborhood.
