The neighborhood’s budding commercial district, dubbed 10 East Main Street, landed Metta Yoga at 2807 E. 10th St. The studio offered its first classes Feb. 17.

Other businesses in 10 East Main Street include Pogue’s Run Grocer, a food cooperative selling locally grown and organic fare, and Made for Each Other, a community art space.
