Rising Stars: Meet Kathryn McCann of Sorrento Valley
Hang Zen Yogis officially turns ten in 2025! It all began in San Diego with a simple idea: bring bespoke, pop-up wellness classes into local businesses to help teams de-stress and reconnect. The response was overwhelmingly positive. As more companies reached out, I brought on a team of trusted instructors, and Hang Zen quickly grew into a full-service corporate wellness company throughout the country.
In 2020, we pivoted to virtual classes to meet the needs of a changing world, and today, I continue to run the company remotely from Honolulu, Hawaii. We offer yoga, breathwork, meditation, and sound healing to corporate America—tools that not only reduce stress but also improve focus, boost morale, and create a more balanced and engaged workforce.
Our mission has always been simple: meet people where they are and make wellness accessible, impactful, and easy to integrate into the workday.

The Travel Wins
Kathryn McCann is my guest on today’s podcast. She is the owner and founder of Hang Zen Yogis based in San Diego, California. Kathryn founded the Hang Zen Yogis company after years of being a professional dancer. Contemplating “what’s next” after dancing Kathryn now works on bringing harmony to the corporate environment and has stats to back up why we should learn to relax while at work. I thought her yoga expertise and mindset would be a great addition for business travelers and maybe we could all learn to relax a little while on the road.
With her expansion to Hawaii this year and expanding the company to San Antonio, Texas this upcoming January, she will learn how to balance being a yogi, boss, mentor and business traveler.

Why Great CEOs Do Yoga With Their Employees
More and more, leaders are being told to step out of their corner offices and engage with their employees. But one CEO says simply hanging around the water cooler or hosting annual company parties isn’t enough to motivate employees. Instead, David Inns, CEO of GreatCall, a provider of mobile health and safety solutions, takes his employees surfing two or three evenings a week and organizes weekly Friday yoga sessions.
In addition to improving the health of his organization, engaging in fitness activities with employees had a number of benefits for Inns’s company:

HOW YOGA HELPED A TECH BUSINESS BUILD A HEALTHIER & MORE COHESIVE COMPANY CULTURE
I wanted our employees to live meaningful lives, both in and out of the workplace, and I knew from personal experience the impact that yoga had in helping me live my most fulfilling life. I was eager to share my practice with our employees and excited to see firsthand the benefits that my colleagues – and our company – could experience as a result of implementing it.
The idea quickly caught on, especially because of how accessible it is. You don’t have to be a great athlete, a certain age or body type to practice yoga.
