We had the good fortune of connecting with Nicole & Gerry Wienholt and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Nicole & Gerry, what is the most important factor behind your success?
The most important factor behind our success is our passion and vision for this business of yoga. The transformative power of yoga is what drives us. Our incredibly talented staff and teachers are the key to creating the amazing culture and student experience that differentiates us from other wellness concepts.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
We articulated the vision for this business during our honeymoon in Italy 18 years ago. It took us five years to launch and establish our first location. It’s been a great challenge, but since we are so passionate about what we do, we’ve never looked back nor shied away from the realization of our vision. We’ve overcome the various obstacles by disciplining our thinking around the details of our Mission, Vision, and Values. These principles are the foundation of why we are and what our calling is in life, both personally and professionally. Our Mission, Vision, and Values are the driving force for all we do and how we achieve our calling. Our brand is best exemplified by the transformative power of our yoga class experience. Contributing significantly to the realization of this brand and vision is our amazingly talented, staff and teachers. Together, we embrace the challenges by dedicating ourselves to our vision.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Well. first we would attend a yoga class at Yoga Pod, of course. 🙂 Afterwards, we visit Beleza Coffee in North Boulder for some coffee or tea. Lunch would include a visit to Proto’s Pizza. Finally, we’d take a hike on the Sanitas trail.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
A special shoutout to our dedicated students and our loyal and talented teachers who have carried us through the years.
