Meet Yoga Your Way YYW

Yoga Your Way, we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.
Yoga Your Way was created by a diverse group of woman to empower people to stay healthy fit and well. We are a group of women from younger to more mature (After-all, age, the number is only a state of mind) who wanted to combine and share our journey to health and being active to encourage every body to feel better.Our purpose was founded in the midst of the pandemic and has grown to be an international wellness journey. Our philosophy is to stay active and we encourage families to work together to promote a healthier lifestyle.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
We are four very different women who wanted to share their experiences on health and wellness came together for Yoga Your Way. We were all unique and had a different story to share. Heather is our Co Founder and has been practicing yoga the longest. She is an experienced fitness instructor and yoga practitioner for over twenty years and  inspired Annie and I to get fit and healthy. Bella is the youngest and newest member of our group and is her deeply spiritual nature have inspired all of us. Annie and I were college roommates who wanted to promote a healthy and active lifestyle for our age group. We all share a love of the water so we were motivated to find a way to get the spread wellness and health and incorporate all we love. Yoga Your Way was initially an online platform that started with the pandemic to help people feel better at home and to learn healthy coping skills in those scary times. The premise for us then and now is to cater to every BODY and to be the most affordable program. We did not want price to be a barrier or people to feel that they couldn’t do our program. This premise still holds true today. We have made the most affordable online unique yoga platform that offers family annual memberships. Our platform is truly different in that is designed for every body with instructional videos to help everyone, an extensive library and as part of the program “live” virtual classes. That is how we started and we have grown adding Stand Up Paddle Board Yoga (Sup Yoga) classes and international retreats.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Never give up! Go into business with like minded people who share your goals and values but that are different enough so that you compliment each and add different perspectives to enhance your business. And you are never too old to get fit and stay active!

Who has been most helpful in helping you overcome challenges or build and develop the essential skills, qualities or knowledge you needed to be successful?
Each of our family has been the most helpful, supportive and inspiring for us. Yoga Your Way is a family and each of our family members has made us successful and pitched in and supported us though out our journey. Annie’s son Matthew Finch is our videographer he has been an invaluable asset helping us improve on our video content. He even helps pitch in on Sup Yoga Days hen we have a full class. Mary’s husband Phil has been supportive of this venture from the start encouraging our YYW family to branch out and we are now provide a Comprehensive Wellness Program for the Bahia Hotel and Resort in Mission Bay. Heather’s daughter is our next CEO in training We offer Sup Yoga in Carlsbad, CA and in Mission Bay CA and we even do sup yoga in the Sea of Cortez! Family is key!
