KAHULUI, HAWAII — The Dadow twins, the women who owned two successful West Palm Beach area yoga studios before they abruptly skipped town without paying employees and reimbursing membership fees, have turned up in Hawaii — and they appear to be in a precarious position.
A volunteer in a Maui homeless shelter, Family Life Center in Kahului, tells us Ann Dadow showed up at the shelter this week with all of her baggage.
Literally!
Ann, 37, who with twin sister Alison formed the ownership team of Twin Power Yoga on Clematis in West Palm Beach and off Donald Ross Road in Palm Beach Gardens for several years, seemed disoriented, the volunteer says, and tried to score some cash from the shelter.
“She had the craziest story about arriving in Hawaii a few days ago and getting robbed of her wallet and getting separated from her twin sister,” shelter worker Kahili Moniz tells us. “She gave us a false name at first. She claimed she had no ID, no money, no nothing.”
“She just wanted us to help her out with some cash. She claimed it was to buy a ticket back to the mainland. But we’re just a shelter, we don’t give out money.
“Plus, I had a feeling she wasn’t really telling the truth.
“She started flipping out in the office, so we tried to help her locate her sister.”

Moniz says Ann told her she was staying at the nearby Westin Maui Resort. When Moniz called the hotel, however, the operator said they had no guest by the last name of Dadow.
In time, shelter personnel managed to find Alison, and Ann left in a hurry to join her in a cheap motel.
Ann left her luggage at the shelter.

The twins made their mark on Palm Beach County in the early part of the decade with popular yoga studios that popularized an athletic form of the discipline.
In mid-2014, however, the twins vanished in their Porsches and returned to their home base in Utah to open another yoga business.
Since then, they’ve been arrested several times on charges ranging from DUI to resisting arrest, filed for bankruptcy after running up credit card debts of more than $200,000 and, obviously, got to looking for more exotic locales.
