Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. 

I’m Anna, a Yoga & Mindfulness Teacher and a Relaxation & Stress Freedom Coach and I help people find balance and ease within themselves through the practises of yoga, meditation, mindfulness, self compassion, breathwork and guided relaxation. I work 1:1 with people, teach group classes and workshops, work with corporate clients and schools and I also run retreats.

When it comes to yoga, my approach to teaching has been influenced by the styles I have mainly practised myself; the beautiful fluidity of Vinyasa Flow, the sweet surrender of a passive Yin practise and Satyananda’s holistic system of classical yoga. I bring a modern approach to the ancient practises and I believe that yoga is magical as well as practical. It helps us to live in a more authentic, conscious and connected way and a regular practise can have an incredibly positive effect on our entire sense of wellbeing; physical, mental, emotional, energetic and spiritual.

I am also a Relaxation & Stress Freedom Coach; I help people move away from the often debilitating effects of long term, chronic stress into a place of balance and ease. Relaxation is the opposite of stress and behind both of these experiences is the nervous system. Becoming embodied and addressing the nervous system is crucial for wellbeing; knowing how to create the experience of safety (instead of the almost constant state of threat/activation that so many of us live in), has been the most incredible discovery and it’s a joy to be able to share this work with people.

Stress is not something to be scared of – it’s actually just the energy that gets mobilised in response to a challenge or threat, and is therefore incredibly useful at times. We do need to manage this energy appropriately though and also teach our minds and bodies how to relax so our nervous system can regulate. Once this happens we can find homeostasis (balanced wellbeing) the state in which healing happens.

I’m a mama to 2 little boys, Bodhi and Axel, who more than keep me on my toes. Becoming a parent has facilitated an incredible spiritual awakening for me and every day is like a beautiful whirlwind. As a sensitive empath, I experience both the blessings and challenges that come from feeling my other peoples energy and emotions in my body and I’m grateful for all my practises that keep me balanced and sane!

I love connecting with people so naturally travelling has been one of my greatest passions. I’ve lived in 7 countries across 4 continents and my all time favourite place in the world is my beautiful homeland New Zealand where I am returned to live earlier this year.
