Anna did not understand the value of yoga till later on in life.  As a young girl she was always competing, whether in track, dance, or cheerleading.  She loved pushing her body to its limits but never took the time to nurture it.  She would participate in yoga classes but only as a way to help increase her flexibility.  Life slowly began to draw her more and more to her mat and in a world full of noise and busyness she found peace and surrender, a place to be vulnerable and humble.  “I love how every experience on my mat is different, sometimes I feel powerful and strong, other moments I’m falling apart and crying.”  Yoga slowly became a way of life, a way to deal with anxiety and loss, a refuge.  Anna has a bachelors in Psychology from Appalachian State University and PTA program graduate from GTCC.  She is a 200 hour RYT yoga instructor and a licensed physical therapist assistant who currently works at Murphy Wainer Orthopedics.  Anna uses her knowledge with anatomy, bodily ailments and physical impairments to help create yoga classes that challenge and benefit the body.  When she is not working or teaching yoga you can find her running outside, at sporting events with kids or spending time in the great outdoors.  

Anna is also available for one on one sessions, check out the one on one sessions.
