A former supermarket site is being transformed into a health food cafe and yoga centre.

The development at the old Co-op, a Victorian building in South Parade, Summertown, is due to open in November and will include exercise studios, a sauna and plunge pool.

The Yoga Garden project is the brainchild of Oxfordshire enthusiasts Matthew Lebus, 42, and Antony di Pinto, 36.

Mr Lebus, of Stanton Harcourt, took up yoga while working in London and became so keen that he invested in a new yoga centre in Primrose Hill, North London.

While looking for a new venture, he was introduced to Mr di Pinto, a homeopath from Botley, and they decided to launch a yoga centre in Oxford.
