A NEW yoga and pilates studio is being planned for Ulverston town centre.

Joanna Mason, of Lindal-in-Furness, is seeking consent for the change of use at 2 New Market Street.

According to plans, at least eight yoga teachers are interested in teaching at the studio. Mrs Mason hopes to forge with local charities such as St Mary's Hospice and the Alzheimer's Society, as well as offering classes such as baby massage and pregnancy yoga.
