The Who Behind "Harmony In Practice"
Our Story: Anne & Emma
Anne and Emma first crossed paths in March 2025 in Richland, Washington.
​
Emma had made a spontaneous trip from her home, Costa Rica, to visit her grandparents.
As she always does, she had to pop by her favorite local coffee shop, Novel Coffee and Teas.
​
Anne, also a Novel fanatic, was there hosting a marketing event for her work, Therapeutic Riding of Tri-Cities (TROT). TROT is a non-profit whose mission is to promote overall well-being through therapeutic animal-assisted practices, with a focus on horses.
​
A cute stuffed horse animal on Anne’s table sparked a conversation, and the two quickly discovered their shared love for yoga and teaching.
Months later, after meeting Michelle, a local travel agent, Anne reached out to Emma with a marvellous idea: to host a yoga retreat together in Costa Rica!
​
A spontaneous trip, a simple conversation, and a serendipitous connection set everything in motion
and Harmony in Practice: Yoga for Daily Living was born!​​​
Emma Jane Terry
Born and raised in Seattle, Washington, Emma is a joyful person who loves to travel, dance, and connect with people. She devotes herself to learning, teaching, and following her heart. This devotion has guided her to many different places and experiences, including the magical Costa Rican jungle. Here she completed her 200-hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training and has lived for the past three years.
Throughout Emma’s 11 years as a yoga student and 3 years of teaching, she has come to understand yoga as a transformational tool and a way of life. Like a key in your pocket, yoga unlocks a life that feels more alive, grounded, and in-tune with your mind, body and soul everywhere you go. Emma has taught Hatha, Vinyasa, and Children & Family Yoga. Across all her classes, she thoughtfully and lovingly supports her students to deepen their self understanding and discover what brings greater alignment and harmony to their lives.
Emma is honored to walk this path with you, sharing yogic practices that nurture self-awareness, support heart-centered living, and open the doorway to yoga’s transformative power, both on and beyond the mat.
Anne Pavetto
Anne grew up in the rural farmlands of Illinois, later moved to the mountains of Colorado, and now calls the Columbia Valley of Washington home, where she lives with her husband and two cats.
​
With over ten years of personal practice and four years of teaching experience, Anne’s yoga journey has been rooted in compassion, curiosity and heart. Her 200-hour training was strongly influenced by Baron Baptiste’s power vinyasa style, while her 300-hour certification through the School Yoga Institute earned during a month of immersive study in Peru deepened her connection to the philosophy and energetics of yoga.
​
Anne teaches vinyasa and yinyasa classes at local studios and is the owner of Igniting Life Yoga, a “travel-to-you” yoga business that brings customized yoga experiences to corporate teams, family groups, and special events.
​
She aims to teach with authenticity, humility, and compassion. Anne’s dream is to create a space where people can reconnect, heal, and grow both mentally and physically. This retreat is part of that dream, and she’s honored to share life-changing tools for bringing yoga into your everyday life.
