A friend of mine brought me to a community education yoga class and it was the first time I could really relax,” Cohen says. “My mind slowed down.” After 9/11, Cohen decided to abandon her career and focus on yoga philosophy, leaving New York to study in India before opening a yoga training studio, CoreYoga, in Cambridge.
