Wendy, Age 3 |

Get Bent's
founder, Wendy Williams has practiced yoga for 11 years
and taught for 8 years.
As
a child, Wendy learned to belly dance from her mother. Five years ago,
Wendy began sharing her passion by
performing and teaching professionally.
In January 2004, Wendy opened
the first Get Bent Yoga & Belly Dancing studio on Ellis Street
in Downtown Penticton.
Since opening, the studio has
experienced exceptional growth.
After only a year,
Get Bent outgrew its original 600 sq/ft space. In January
2005, the studio was relocated to a new 1,200 sq/ft space
in the Cannery Trade Centre in Penticton, BC.
 Currently, the studio
provides classes to over 200 people per week. Over the
past two years, Wendy trained three new
belly dance
instructors and three new
yoga instructors
who
graduated from Get Bent's year-long
Yoga Teacher Training
program.
Also in February 2006,
Get Bent produced and released their first instructional DVD
"Belly Dance for Beginners".
For her efforts, Wendy was nominated for the "Young Entrepreneur
of the Year Award" in 2005.
