CJ and Joanna, two passionate yoga teachers, are embarking on a remarkable journey to share their vision for creating a sanctuary of wellness, kindness, growth, and integrity.

Their story began years ago on their own unique paths to self-discovery and growth through yoga. Joanna, a former Corporate Generalist, found solace in yoga after the hustle and rigidity of Corporate America left her stressed, anxious, and desperate for healing. The practice brought a sense of calm and clarity that she had not experienced before. Early on, it was clear that her true calling was not just to teach yoga but to train and mentor others to become yoga teachers themselves, in order to expand the reach of yoga’s benefits to create a ripple effect of wellness, personal transformation, and mindfulness. In time, she left her previous world behind and dedicated her life to helping others find total mind-body-spirit health and healing through holistic nutrition, yoga, meditation, and stillness practices.

CJ, a successful IT entrepreneur, began her journey to yoga with a strong focus on fitness. As someone who had always been passionate about athletics, physical health, and strength, she turned to yoga to enhance flexibility and build endurance. It wasn’t long before she realized that yoga offered much more than physical benefits. It became clear that yoga was also about aligning with core values such as mindfulness, balance, and inner peace. Through yoga, CJ found a way to harmonize physical fitness with these values, creating a practice that nurtured both body and soul. Yoga soon became a passion that she knew she had to share with others.

Fate brought CJ and Joanna together and their yoga friendship has evolved into a beautiful partnership and vision to create a yoga space where people can not only practice yoga, but experience a community built on kindness and support. Their intention was clear: a hot yoga studio that would offer an immersive and transformative experience, blending the physical rigor of hot yoga with a nurturing and inclusive atmosphere.
