"People needed to find a way to get out of their houses but not to celebrate; we provided them with a spiritual place to do that," says Alan Ripka of New York Yoga. He and his wife, owner Shelby Ripka, offered a much-needed space where people "could do something for themselves while thinking of others," explains Alan. They also gave free yoga and meditation classes for Ground Zero volunteers and led a number of candle-light vigils in honor of those who lost their lives in the tragedy.
