What year was your business established?
2001

What inspired you to start this business?
I was extremely unhealthy growing up. I had chronic asthma and by the time I was 25, I had a pulmonary specialist. My breathing tube had become the diameter of a toothpick, a normal breathing tube is the diameter of a McDonald’s straw. I was on 3 inhalers and prednisone. My Mom said she spoiled us because she didn’t know how long we would live.
Yeah, Yoga was a life changer for our family. I have not seen a doctor since I gave birth 13 years ago.

If it could turn my life around 360 …I knew it could help everybody!

So here we are 23 years later trying to convince people that Yoga IS the answer…no matter what the question, Yoga.

What’s your company’s mission statement?
Our Mission is to facilitate an environment where all people, regardless of their circumstances can naturally become healthy on a physical, mental, and emotional level through the time-tested practice of Yoga.
