New Yoga & Dance Studios Could Be Coming to Mentor

Two businesses -- a yoga studio/massage parlor and dance studio -- will ask the Mentor Planning Commission for conditional use permits during its meeting 7 p.m. Thursday at .

Awaken Yoga Studio, School and Healing Arts Studio wants to open a yoga studio at 7312 Center St.

The 832-sq.-ft. building has previously housed a bridal shop, pet grooming facility and a needlepoint store, according to the staff report the city of Mentor prepared for the Planning Commission.

Awaken Yoga operates out of Shore Cultural Center in Euclid for now.

If the permit is approved, it hopes to host yoga classes of eight to 10 students twice a day in Mentor, according to the staff report.

The location would also offer Thai yoga massage classes and sessions.

Also at the Planning Commission meeting, Tina Caniglia and Peter Santorelli are asking for a permit to run the Gotta Dance Studio at 8824 Mentor Ave. in the Mentor Town Plaza.

If approved, Gotta Dance Studio would offer both ballroom dance classes and private lessons.

The owners also want to host weekly dances on Friday nights.
