She&#8217;s asking anyone who&#8217;s interested in taking over ownership of the\u00a0profitable 1,400-square-foot studio to submit\u00a0250 words on why they&#8217;re the right person for the job (plus a $108 entry fee). In addition to the keys to the studio, the winner will receive up to $2,000 in start-up cash.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a great opportunity for someone talented and ambitious to plug right in,\u00a0and it&#8217;s also a way to pay it forward,\u201d says Valentina.\u00a0For the past 13 years, she\u00a0has built a tight-knit community she calls a &#8220;family&#8221; at HMC and now she\u2019s looking to pass it on\u00a0to someone who is\u00a0aligned with her establishment\u2019s roots.<\/p>\n<p>In June, Valentina\u00a0will be graduating with a master&#8217;s degree in Integral Psychology and embarking on a new life path. Her goal is to offer\u00a0an\u00a0academic program for police based on non-violence communication and psychological process training.<\/p>\n<p>This decision left two options for the studio: sell or close. She decided closing would be devastating for the community and selling would leave her to blame if\u00a0a new owner did not fit the community\u2019s needs. The giveaway idea came to her in hopes of including everyone in the selection process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d love to see HMC go into good hands, and at the same time I\u2019m creating a great story for that person\u2014hopefully they will pay it forward to someone else in the future,\u201d she says.\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m looking for someone with teaching or business experience and passion for yoga as well as a positive outlook and vision for the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To enter (and read the full\u00a0contest rules),\u00a0visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.winhmc.com\/home.html\">WinHMC.com<\/a>.\u00a0The deadline to enter the contest is\u00a0June 30, 2015, and the winner will be announced\u00a0July 20.<strong> \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Photo courtesy of Valentina Petrova.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2014<\/p>\n<p><i><a href=\"http:\/\/live-wanderlust-fest.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/AshleyRoseHoward.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-23051\" src=\"http:\/\/live-wanderlust-fest.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/AshleyRoseHoward.jpg\" alt=\"AshleyRoseHoward\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a>Ashley Rose Howard is a writer and RYT 200 certified vinyasa yoga teacher passionate about helping people inspire, grow, and connect.
