Christina Foster opened Sole to Soul Hot Yoga Studio on April 14, 2018 with one intention: to offer others the opportunity to follow yoga to higher ground and to truth, just as she has.

Life can be chaotic. It can be a challenge to find serenity. Harmony Fonseca, owner of Mystic Harmony Yoga Boutique in Prescott, knows this all too well. In her early twenties, she discovered yoga, which gave her strength, calm, and life.

But in her late twenties, Harmony experienced a neck trauma that immediately put a stop to nearly everything she did – hobbies, work, and worst of all, yoga.

Customer care and creativity lead the way for Jennifer Jividen DeWees in her role as sales manager for Ponderosa Hotel Management Services, which oversees revenue-building at Residence Inn by Marriott, SpringHill Suites by Marriott, and Quality Inn by Choice. She also works as a sales trainer for Marriott International’s bi-annual weeklong courses.

How do you decide what direction to go when you really don’t know where you’d like to be?  That feeling of being “stuck” when trying to choose whether to renovate your existing home or sell it and buy new is not uncommon.  It can be frustrating and scary trying to make the right decision for you and your family.  Don’t get bogged down.

What do you do when a major remodel of your home is so disruptive it’s hard to live there, or an unfortunate situation of a fire or flood leaves the home inhabitable until repairs are made? If staying with friends or family isn’t possible, the Residence Inn by Marriott in Prescott might be the perfect solution.  Spaciously designed guestrooms are ideal for extended stay guests who need accommodations for weeks, or even months, at a time.  Studio, one and two-bedroom/two bath suites all include fully-equipped kitchens with a full size refrigerator and dishwasher.  Every suite has ample drawer space and large closets and the kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes and utensils.

When I was a girl I would put on plays for my parents in the basement. I inhaled books constantly and loved creative writing. I had a wild imagination and would watch movies that captured my imagination, over and over again, like The Swiss Family Robinson and The Sound of Music.

I was born in Sacramento, California on McClellan Air Force Base and moved to Prescott when I was two. After high school I attended Grand Canyon University and graduated with a degree in Finance and Economics. I met my husband Joe McAnally in Prescott. He is a local graduate of Prescott High School.

I moved to Prescott 5 years ago from Gilchrist Oregon after graduating from Oregon State University with a degree in Business/Marketing.  Relocating to Arizona with my husband, Aaron, was supposed to be a short term reprieve from the snowy winters.  Prescott quickly became a home away from home with friendly faces, four wonderful seasons of weather and excellent outdoor life.
