This name change reflects not only the business, but also its great location in downtown Springfield, she said.

Sara Brown had been a frequent participant and customer of Revival. The popular yoga location was set to close on March 1, but she said an opportunity to save a downtown business and open their own studio was a dream come true.

Revival owners Whitney Neal and Laura Jarzab will continue teaching at Fountain Yoga Boutique.

Brown will also receive help from her five children in operating the studio.

The new yoga studio will mirror the business model of Revival in yoga, but will eliminate the tea bar in exchange for an essential oils bar, natural health products and a second-hand store.

The majority of products sold in the store will be locally sourced, Sara Brown said, with the partnership of local businesses.

She believes this store will be a great addition to the people of Springfield. Brown launched a social media campaign asking customers what they would want to see in the new business, making sure that the studio is about helping others.
