INWOOD — Nearly a week after a fire devastated nine Inwood businesses, one has managed to get back in action.

Bread and Yoga studio reopened its after-school program, which includes music, art and cooking. It will run temporarily out of Muscota New School, just a few blocks from the building which burned down last week.

“We're officially back in business [with] our after-school program. Thanks to Muscota & your donations,” tweeted Bread and Yoga on Monday afternoon, with a photo of owner Marcela Xavier looking over a table filled with smiling children. 

Xavier announced that the after-school program would reopen at the public school during a community meeting held Friday, where hundreds of uptown residents came out to offer emotional and financial support.

“We have been lucky that the principal at Muscota School has opened her doors so we can host our program there,” she said. “We hope to soon have a more permanent space.”
