Coming to Del Ray: Ease Yoga and Cafe

Ease Yoga & Cafe has announced plans to locate in Del Ray in spring 2015. The new business will be located in the Del Ray Commons building, according to a news release on its Facebook page.

“For years, this beautiful space at Mount Vernon and Commonwealth has been vacant, “ notes owner Tara Casagrande. ”Ease will be a community gathering spot where people of all ages can eat well and stretch every day.”

Casagrande has been teaching private classes in the area the past five years and has a total of 15 years experience. She is a 2009 graduate of the Nosara Yoga Institute in Costa Rica.

Ease Yoga & Cafe will offer yoga classes for all levels, as well as Chi Gong, Meditation, Children and Teen Yoga, Family Yoga, Infant Massage and Men’s Stretch and Breathe classes.

On the food front, you’ll see the following on the menu: Healthy smoothies, fresh-pressed juices, coffee and tea; also, expect to see vegetarian fare, artisan sandwiches and homemade kale chips.

The 2,600-square foot space will be filled with natural light from the large windows and there will be both indoor and outdoor seating.
