While co-owners Karen Dagdick and Neil Bergen ran Yoga Central for three years, they also, respectively, kept another business going and managed the community radio station. Then in the spring of 2009, Karen and Neil sought unsuccessfully to sell the business. Yoga Central’s landlord increased the rent at the 8th St. location, so any potential new owners would have faced greater start-up costs than had originally been envisioned.
