In 2014, we became members of SLO Yoga Center after taking our first class at the studio…
We loved the community vibe and the spacious studios with beautiful views, and just knew that we’d found our new home studio. We’d recently moved from Washington state back to SLO, where we graduated from Cal Poly awhile ago… ;) About three months later, as fate would have it, we had the opportunity to buy the studio. We left behind our corporate careers to choose living with passion and purpose. It was the BEST. DECISION. EVER. It has truly been an honor and joy to be welcomed into this beautiful community, to have witnessed lifelong friendships form, watched families grow, and to have created new traditions.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As we reflect on where we've been and where we're headed, we think about the positive impact yoga has had on us personally. Discovering yoga created a new beginning on so many levels, it created a path for healing from past traumas and addictions and set us on a journey that we could not have imagined after our first yoga class. We are grateful for our teachers and the community that has so lovingly supported us. Our work now, is to bring yoga to those places, people, and situations where it might make a difference like it did for us.
The Center exists to make a positive contribution to our community through movement, connection, and mind-body wellness. Our vision is to continually celebrate diversity, strengthen community and empower people to live their best lives every day. We are excited for what's ahead and all that we're building together at The Center.
IN GRATITUDE,
the Stackhouse family
