Anna is a forever-student of yoga history and philosophy and has an ongoing study with her teacher. She also serves on the faculty for the 200hr YTT at SYJ.
Anna’s classes are invitations to observe the tendencies and habits of body and mind without judgment, and to build strength, flexibility, and resilience. Anna’s classes are welcoming and fun, with intelligent, vigorous, alignment-based and anatomy-aware vinyasa sequences. Her classes afford plenty of opportunities to play with new shapes, to turn up the volume (expect offerings of arm balances and inversions!), as well as moments to turn within, go slow, and let go.
Expect to leave class feeling grounded, connected, strong, and with a new favorite song in your head.
