Hi! I'm Annette. I founded Escape to Yoga back in 2012 when a
surprise career change and a crazy dream led me to start up the
first yoga studio in my adopted home town.
Back then, I had no idea about business and had yet to
personally experience the healing power of yoga. I just liked doing
yoga and I thought the yoga studio business looked easy!
It wasn't an easy awakening to what would become my life's
passion. The first years were really tough and my marriage failed.
That's when I felt true deep pain for the first time in my life;
and it was my practice at Escape to Yoga that saved me.
Yoga forced me to treat my body kindly, kept me connected to
humanity, and helped me heal my broken heart. It was then that I
finally understood the healing power of yoga.
Almost a decade later, after a grueling business education in
the School of Trial and Error and witnessing hundreds of healing
journeys, Escape's mission is clear;
WE HELP PEOPLE WITH
PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL ACHES AND PAINS GROW STRONGER, MORE
FLEXIBLE, AND LESS STRESSED SO THEY CAN STAY ACTIVE AND AGE
WELL.
As I get older, I feel incredibly blessed to be able to stay
strong and keep my joints moving by taking classes at Escape right
here in Sherwood, OR from a team of gifted and dedicated yoga
instructors.
I hope you will love our classes
as much as I do!
