The Tallahassee Democrat reports that owner Brittani Whittington will lead a music session in the evening in the renovated studio that now has security cameras.
She said the breathe, movement and music will clear "space in our bodies and our hearts for the new year to come while honoring and remembering our losses."
Whittington said she considered closing the studio permanently but says the safety upgrades have brought her "needed peace."
