Yoga on Main Street, which will open in the basement of the same building that houses the Workingman's Store, has applied for the city's tax abatement.

Yoga on Main Street, a new business in downtown Butler, has applied for the city's tax abatement.

But that tax break has not yet been approved.

Yoga on Main Street will open in the basement of the same building that houses the Workingman's Store.

Heather Fahrenthold, who bought the building in February from ETWT Holdings, will run the yoga studio and teach yoga along with 10 other instructors.

Yoga on Main Street will offer regular yoga classes, hot yoga (with 90-degree temperatures), power yoga and restorative yoga.

“I just want to share my passion of yoga with others,” she said. “It's so good for your mind, your body, your soul.”

The city's tax abatement program that the company has applied for was amended in January 2013.

The current abatement allows for new or relocated businesses to be exempt from 100 percent of the mercantile tax for the first two years of operation. In the third year, they would be exempt from 16.5 percent of mercantile taxes.

In the fourth year, businesses would pay the tax in full.

A full story will appear in the Butler Eagle.
