Christa QuattrocchiHead of Sales and Marketing Six months ago I sat at my desk on Park Ave, nose deep in marketing proposals and one toe dipped into the wellness pool. My days were spent mastering the marketing industry and any free time was dedicated to teaching wellness classes here, there and everywhere. Like a skillful pilot ensuring two planes do not collide, I was forced to redirect focus multiple times per day. My output was stretched thin across multiple teams, all pulling toward their varying, respective goals. Today, in the comfort of my hOM-office, I work alongside a team of incredible hOMies working toward one great mission to build community through wellness and event offerings. We are experts in our respective fields, bridging the gap between the pioneer and the product. My days are now spent upholding this mission through marketing work, backed by years of expertise in the field. Most nights I travel throughout NYC executing wellness classes. Prior to working at hOM, 86% of hOMies worked between 3-6 different jobs and taught upwards of 10 classes per week. This holistic work approach gives all hOMies the opportunity to utilize their many, many skills beyond yoga teaching to guide the company mission. Each of us have prior experience in various fields, such as corporate events, performing arts, and digital marketing. Though our daily responsibilities differ, yoga is at the core of all we do. Clean on a name below to learn how hOMies from each department apply the benefits of yoga yoga to their respective admin work beyond teaching. brie bednarski
Title/Dept: Graphic Designer / Marketing How long have you been practicing yoga: 8 years How does yoga influence your administrative responsibilities : Whenever I’m feeling creatively blocked, I get up from my desk/laptop to practice. Sometimes that means a full 30 minute flow, sometimes that means a simple child pose to calm my mind, and sometimes that means handstand hops to find a new perspective. I find that taking a break to let your mind expand is oftentimes the best way to reach a breakthrough. Some of my favorite creative concepts have come to me during savasana or in the midst of a deep meditation. Alternatively, sometimes I find myself in what I like to call a design time warp. I’ll be so in the flow that I’ll look up and notice several hours have gone by. Usually this is accompanied by a bit of back and shoulder pain. My first move is to get a full cup of water and then spend some time on my mat. Favorite Yoga Technique to practice on a busy day: Yoga Practice- any sort of side body opener.

Favorite Yoga Technique to practice on a busy day: Lay on the floor in supported bridge and send mad slacks and hope I don’t drop my phone on my face. christa quattrocchi
Title/Dept: Head of Sales & Marketing How long have you been practicing yoga: 7 years How does yoga influence your administrative responsibilities: Sales and Marketing are multifaceted in that they require a fair amount of both analytical and creative production. Yoga forces me to slow down and stay in tune with both physical and mental patterns and obtain a sense of total presence. It is easier to identify creative bursts and stay completely focused by integrating breath work into my periods of desk productivity. Favorite Yoga Technique to practice on a busy day: Forward gold with hands clasped behind back helps relieve some serious shoulder and upper back tension that manifests from many hours behind a computer and lugging bags around NYC. cassie coulas
