Ann Tonia began her journey in 2004 when she moved to France with her family and her passion for wine and chocolate exploded! They lived around the corner from a chocolate shop that she visited daily. While further exploring and enjoying the wine in France she became an enthusiast!
Upon returning home she knew she had to learn how to make chocolate and wine. So, she and her husband bought a wine kit in 2011 producing their first batch. In the spring of 2016 they planted 82 grape vines on their property! In 2019 they became award winning wine makers! Later she enrolled in a chocolate certification program which she completed in 2014.
With her newly acquired passion and education she continued to make wine and chocolates for 9 years! Finally, in 2020 she began her Yoga journey which brought it all together! She received her 200-hour yoga teacher certification in 2020 with IThrive and completed her 100-hour aerial certification through Yoga Hive at the end of 2020. The timing of her yoga training was a godsend! Learning the power of a healthy lifestyle and meditation in the midst of a pandemic made her realize she MUST bring this to as many people as she can, not just to cope with the pandemic but to teach how these tools can transform our daily lives, for the better!
Odd right? Wine, chocolate and yoga, how does that go together? In pursuit of her passions, and her desire for experiencing life she has combined all three elements to create unique experiences! Ann believes in not just “living life” but “experiencing” it. You may still be skeptical but once you come, you will see!!
* Yoga and aerial yoga experiences available now, other experiences to come in 2022!
