About Us
Our Beginnings: A Seed Planted in Struggle
In 2018, Yoga Life was born not in a boardroom, but in the quiet chaos of two fractured lives. Anika, a neuroscientist, and Mateo, a former CEO, were drowning in the same modern paradox: a world that praised “self-care” but made it feel selfish, expensive, and out of reach.
Anika’s breaking point came during a 72-hour lab shift. Mateo hit his after collapsing from exhaustion at the airport. Both turned to yoga as a last resort—not for handstands, but for survival. What they found wasn’t just peace. It was a calling. Yoga Life began as a rebellion: What if wellness wasn’t a luxury, but a birthright? What if yoga studios felt less like exclusive clubs, and more like sanctuaries for the overworked, the grieving, the “not-good-enough”?
We ripped up the rulebook. No performative spirituality. Just science-backed practices, radical inclusivity, and a promise: You belong here exactly as you are.
