We started the idea of a~pira more than a decade ago. Living in today’s chaotic world, we realized that balance was something that everyone wanted but that it’s also very different for every person. Caught in a rut, we travelled the world, experienced and learned from different cultures. 

What we found was that living in one place for a long time puts you into unhealthy (and stressful) routines and limits you. We wanted to create a life that joined together the zen, beauty and wisdom of Eastern philosophies, the active and vibrant communities of Europe with our very own hard work hustle of America to build a healthier and more sustainable journey. As we went from two to a family of five, we wanted to create a more diverse (and fun) future for our kids. 

For us, a~pira is about becoming the best (stress-free) version of ourselves with our own dynamic balance. Our hope is that a~pira will give what you need to create happiness through your own unique balance of elements. Stay active, be well and enjoy the journey!
