“We grew up with a mom who was ahead of her time,” says Vyda Bielkus (far left). As kids, she and her sisters, Aida, Siga and Zara, worked in their mother’s restaurant. When the matriarch developed her own certified wellness program, the girls pursued yoga and meditation as a family. Now, at the newly launched Health Yoga Life studio on Beacon Hill, all the Bielkus women lead a program of more than 30 classes and personalized life coaching. “We did everything to help our mom,” says Bielkus, adding, “Our company grew out of who we are and what we practice.”
