Violet Lange grew up in the MidWest, an avid reader and lover of the sciences. She earned an engineering degree during her undergrad years and made a determination before graduating that she would attend business school. She worked for General Mills for five years and then attended Harvard Business School. She worked briefly in consulting before joining a non-profit called RIght to Play. After an injury from running a marathon brought her closer to yoga, she explored the operators in the space and eventually joined YogaWorks, initially running their retail operation and then heading up programming. She left to launch her own business coaching and consulting firm called Executive Sutra, expanding it to now assist her clients in creating healthy, lasting love in their lives.
