zentrification

An occurrence wherein rich white people buy property and create yoga studios in depressed urban neighborhoods.
Man, ever since all this zentrification took over our community, I can't leave the house without bumping into a yogi.

You're studying at Inner Fire? That's cool. I've been going to Fire Inside. Don't you just love all this zentrification? Namaste!
