Meet Ari
My name is Ariana Hornkohl, but you can call me Ari for short. Growing up in the deserts of New Mexico and Arizona, I always dreamed of living in a lush landscape by the ocean. When I was 21yrs old, I took a leap of faith and moved to the island of Maui, where I discovered yoga. After only a few classes, I was in wonder of this ancient practice and realized that it wasn't just a physical exercise but a powerful tool for healing, growth, and self-discovery. I was hooked and would drive from the opposite side of the island 3 or 4 times a week to get my yoga fix!
Over the next decade, yoga would go in and out of my life, but after a ten-year relationship was coming to a close, I needed it more than ever. I felt tremendous grief and did not know how to cope. That is when I took my first yoga teacher training. I learned so much more than the poses; I also learned how to honor myself and steer my life in the direction I wanted it to go. That was a very transformational shift in my life, and I knew I wanted to share that with others and provide them with the same skillset to make positive changes in their own lives. And through us, the legacy of this ancient wisdom lives, breathes, and expands.
There are many times in our lives where we may feel lost, alone, or off course, and I hope to be a beacon of light that helps guide you back to the true essence that you are.
