We had the good fortune of connecting with Janine Martin and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Janine, how do you think about risk?
Risks are an easy way for each of us to grow. I think it’s smart to throw yourself into new business ventures, friendships and life experiences. If we aren’t changing and learning, we are not growing. Be versatile and take everything that comes your way as a sign for growth! We took a risk during the pandemic to open our business and we couldn’t be happier!

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
We own Get Bent Yoga Studio and it has been one of the greatest gifts to ourselves. We have built a beautiful friendly community where people enjoy being. For someone who is not a business person, there were a few hoops to jump through, taxes, bookings, website etc… We managed to get it all up and running and we couldn’t be happier.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my best friend was visiting sarasota, I would take her to Siesta key for a beach day, crop for lunch, Florence and the spice boys for dinner, and marina jacks bay front park for a sunset walk. Then I would take her to beer can island for a different beach day, maybe jump on the paddle boards and head to mar vista for lunch and selva grill for dinner. We would also check out the Ringling museum, have an incredible coffee at Palma coffee shop and an açaí bowl at Passion roots for a light lunch.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My husband is my greatest support. Joshua is always making sure I am organized and taken care of. Our marriage and partnership being so healthy, has really helped me keep moving forward. Whatever my ideas are, he supports and is ready to take the leap with me.
