As told by Kroger, here is what they stand for!

"Every day we open our doors and welcome millions of hungry people. But they’re not just hungry for food. They’re hungry for something that can make their lives healthier, easier, brighter and a bit lighter. They’re hungry to feel good, do well, to go from anxiety to inspiration.

So whether we manufacture, market, stock, check, deliver, or manage, we all try to make their experience as uplifting as possible. Just like Barney Kroger did when he brought together the butcher, the baker, dry goods, and produce all under one roof. We’ve always been about value, convenience, and making customers’ lives simpler.

To lift them up, we keep our hands, hearts and minds open so we can be attentive to their needs and provide true Kroger hospitality and generosity. Because every time someone crosses our threshold we get a fresh chance to make an emotional connection, lighten their load and lift them up.

It’s a simple truth that our world is hungry for uplift. It’s a universal need, as powerful as our need for food or fuel.

That’s why our Purpose is To Feed the Human Spirit™."

"This place was meant to be. 

I could make a movie of the miraculous things that led to the opening of this studio.

We’re not talking one or two incidents. We’re not talking a season of life where everything fell into place.

I mean thing after thing after thing after thing over the past 25+ years that led to here.

I didn’t understand what was happening for most of the time, haha. 

It was a total walk of surrender and faith. I never ever ever ever EVER would have taken the path I did if God hadn’t so UNDENIABLY led me through every quark-level detail of every step.

From how I found yoga (before I knew it was yoga) to why I opened the studio (when the thought had not previously crossed my mind AT ALL) to how our programs and plans came into being (some of these ideas have been in my heart since elementary school) . . . these are stories that will be saved for another day.

Suffice to say I now understand ALLLLLL of the parts that didn’t make sense. 

And it 
BLOWS

MY

MIND 

how unfathomably, masterfully, PERFECTLY God was writing the story, 100% of the time.

From the huge dreams in my heart that I always knew would be my future to the tiny ones I was okay with never having . . 

The whole range of it is my reality now, in more abundant form than I ever knew to dream! Specifically because of the things I went through that were devastating at the time.

Yoga and the studio are not the only things I love in life or the only part of my future plans, but they satisfy a HUGE portion of what I’ve always wanted most. 

Even though while it was all happening it seemed like the OPPOSITE of everything I wanted.

My Mission is “to help people live lives of fulfillment and purpose, that allow them to fully be who they are”. 

That’s what yoga and the studio have done for me. That’s what I hope it will do for YOU, too!!

I have HUUUGE plans for this place. Come along . . . and stay tuned!!!"

"Gratitude is like a light. It can change a room, an interaction, or an everyday situation." Grateful to Oracle Netsuite's Carly Nesson for joining us on this show!

Imagine how it would feel when all the traditions and ceremonies of your high school senior year were halted in an instant. For Ally, Ella, and Michael, they were the "Class of '20" HS Seniors who had their lives turned upside down with the onset of the pandemic. Fast forward to today, as graduates and soon-to-be-graduates, is it possible they actually found something to be grateful for among the change and uncertainty? Find out here!
