New Yoga/Juice Bar Business to Open in West Acton

As of Nov. 30, 2011, Village Art, a West Acton business staple since 2009, has closed shop. Owner, Amanda Sullivan, decided to focus more on private parties and moving her business into a home studio which she hopes to have completed sometime in the near future.

“It really was that we couldn’t maintain our enrolment throughout the whole year,” said Sullivan. “We were really only getting a large number of students during vacation time and for parties. I think the economy is number one because we are certainly not a necessity but I just think that these kids are very busy between sports and tutoring.”

One business leaves and another one comes.

Not a lot of time passed before another business moved into the Wave Project (West Acton Village Ecology). and Paula Blanchard, owners of , located on 282 Central Street, Acton, recently leased the open space at 537 Massachusetts Avenue and plans to run yoga classes and a juice bar. Revolution Community Yoga will officially open to the public on February 1, 2012 and the juice bar will open sometime in the spring of 2012.

According to Henson, from Feb. 1-5, Revolution Community Yoga will be offering free classes.

“What we do is a lot about lifestyle; from eating healthy, being active, exercising and the whole mind-body connection,” said Henson. “I love this part of Acton and I love all the people I’ve met so far and business is going really well.”
