From Burnout to Balance
In 2021, Ana was a corporate attorney in Dallas working 80-hour weeks. Then she collapsed at her desk. The hospital stay gave her time to think — and to realize that the anxiety, the insomnia, and the constant tension weren't just stress. They were warnings she'd been ignoring for years.
A friend dragged her to a yoga class during recovery. That single hour on the mat was the first time she'd felt still in years. Within six months, she'd completed her 200-hour certification. Within a year, her 500-hour. She didn't just practice yoga — she restructured her entire life around it.
She moved to El Paso for the sunshine and the mountains. When she found that the nearest heated yoga studio was a 30-minute drive from central EP, she knew exactly what to do. Sunrise opened in 2023 in a renovated Stanton Street storefront — exposed brick, massive windows, and morning light that makes every practice feel like a fresh start.
