Rewrite

I rewrote the article based on existing and more recent sources. There was a lot of info that was promotional (cited only to the subject's website), based on non-verifiable sources (see below) and claims not supported by the sources cited. I've spent considerable time to bring it in line with WP guidelines.-- — Keithbob • Talk • 17:53, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This web site no longer exists. It has been replaced by Semperviva.com and although YogaWorks is mentioned on the site [1] it is only to advertise courses they are offering and I see the content as primary and non-notable.-- — Keithbob • Talk • 19:13, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You Apriltools (talk) 20:18, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Apriltools: I've functionally executed your requested changes, I believe. Your actual stated text for inclusion didn't include any actual note that part of the business was still active, under a new owner, which seemed applicable, so I added a couple of words to note that.

@Nosebagbear: Thank you for your edit, it looks great. There is not much published about future plans with the exception that it is now an online business, the goal here was to update that the business continues to operate and to hopefully keep the article out of AfD. Thanks again! Apriltools (talk) 15:45, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
