Born in Colombia, Ms. Herrera Flórez immigrated to the United States in 1998. With a master’s degree in health care administration, she worked as a health coach for an insurance company, which she found to be extremely fast-paced and stressful. During this tense and high-pressure time, she turned to yoga to manage her own stress and found that she loved it. As Ms. Herrera Flórez became a mother of two and a loving wife to Henry, she found it hard to create time for yoga and eventually lost the habit amid the hustle and bustle of her life. She then resolved to write a book. After assembling her team and consulting a business coach, she published a book teaching others how to become exceptional yoga teachers. Among her professional achievements, Ms. Herrera Flórez considers producing as well as developing and creating her fun and innovative yoga method as her most notable accomplishment.
