What our Purpose looks like

David and Missy started their Yoga journey together in 2017, now they teach at The Live it Well Place in Gold Canyon Arizona. Once we met in person after talking online for just a week, we both knew we were made for each other. Both being divorced and having no kids we were focused on our careers and started making goals collectively. David just finished his first yoga teacher training from Lifetime fitness and he introduced yoga into Missy’s life, Missy dived head first into yoga classes and learned all about the different chakras and asanas which later transformed her whole way of expressing and understanding herself.
As time grew on we both found ourselves on the yoga mat together doing classes and learning how to communicate how we felt in and off the mat.
Our first Yoga retreat was at Anamaya Resort in Costa Rica for our Honeymoon in 2019, one workshop that sealed the deal in our hearts was the 45 minute eye meditation
For 45 minutes we stared into each others eyes reaching beyond the soul discovering who each other really was. 2020 came along and as we all know life turned a little counter clockwise. We up and moved to Arizona from Colorado and found ourselves seeking even harder for a place to stake our roots into the ground. Gold Canyon was our destination, tucked away in the Superstition Mountains away from the hussle we found our heaven on earth.
In March of 2023 we had the wonderful opportunity to be a part of a retreat with our lovely Yoga teacher Cristiane Machado from Costa Rica. We learned a lot about hosting retreats, seeing how she holds space for others, nurtures everyone in her yoga classes and sends out good vibes to the universe. A light bulb went off right there so we looked up a YTT training at Anamaya Resort and stumbled across one in July with Lola Rephann.
The day we signed up for the training was the same day we ran over a boulder/rock with our car and we were stranded in the mountains for 7 days. Need less to say we made it out but we learned a lesson. No matter what fear or distress is going on around you, you can stare down your fear and conquer anything you’re up against because you are powerful! Everything after than came to us, we met with the owners of our local yoga studio and simply asked if we could teach yoga there. They said yes. Formulated a plan and here we are in Gold Canyon teaching yoga to wonderful people just like you!

So come join us in a class, center yourself for some powerful uplifting yoga and we will see you on the mat!
