About the Grip The Mat Founders
Co-founders Christy Skarulis and Ashley Braun met during their yoga teacher-training course. Coincidentally, they were both from Florida and both former dancers. They were struggling to find a satisfying balance between their demanding jobs while nurturing a mutual passion for health and wellness, so they decided to quit their nine-to-five jobs and follow their love for yoga by sharing the practice with their community.
