Nest Community Feature - Bertha Solorio

We recently had a lot of fun doing a yoga challenge at Nest. We like to think everyone who participated was a winner - including Bertha, who came in second as far as how many yoga classes she attended during the four-week challenge!

Tell us a little about yourself, Bertha.

I’m a salon business owner on Piedmont Ave. I have 2 kids (Naomi 25 and Chris 21), and they are the most important people in my life. I have a lot of cats but am not considered a crazy cat lady and 2 dogs. I love yoga, to dance and to cook.
