She believes that Yoga is the antidote to the western way of life and her intention is to pass this knowledge on in the most practical way possible. Winning her over from the first moment she is a fan of detail, faithfully following the alignment of the Iyengar Yoga System. Anna's lessons have a spirit of self exploration with a detailed guidance in technique to ensure a safe practice and complete concentration.

"In a world where sitting has become the new smoking for health, Yoga offers tools for the understanding we all have deep within us for how awareness can teach us "to cure what need not be endured and endure what cannot be cured" (BKS Iyengar). Thank you is not enough to express my gratitude!
