    A yoga studio is set to open in the former Laura Ashley shop in Harrogate after plans were approved.

    Harrogate Borough Council has given the go-ahead for the unit on James Street to be converted into a boutique yoga and pilates studio.

    Ebru Evrim, which lodged the proposal, currently provides classes in Skipton and sells activewear clothing.

    In documents submitted to the council, the owner said they wanted to replicate the business in Harrogate town centre.

    As part of the plan, the unit will be converted into retail and teaching space over three floors.

    The two upper floors would be used as yoga and pilates studios and the activewear would be sold on the ground floor.

    The owner said in its plans:

    “This diverse development will enable a small and local business to occupy a prominent unit on a struggling high street.
    “There are obvious economic benefits here to the town centre and wider district.”


    The Laura Ashley store has been closed for some 12 months after the company went into administration following trading concerns caused by the covid pandemic.
