On the first night of the January 2003 yoga teachers training course on Paradise Island in the Bahamas, that moment of fate, of nonsense but perfect sense, soul meeting came true . Twenty-one year old flower child, Jenay Martin of a small northern California hippie community crossed paths with thirty-two year old quintessential New Yorker, and advertising executive Andrea Fliakos. Upon seeing one another, they felt an instant connection,you know,that sense of having known one another for years. Sadly, Andrea had to leave the program due to a family emergency, coincidently Andrea only lived thirty minutes from Jenays college. A month later, Jenay had finished the program, flew back to New York, and the next day found herself in a strangers apartment feeling perfectly at home. The two became close friends, walking side by side along their separate paths, Jenay finishing school, Andrea feeling the grind of the corporate world. Until one day, their paths began to merge when their dream to start a yoga business together manifested in the form of two solid rubber balls. |
