In 2003 Anne did her Iyengar-based teacher training studies in Palo Alto, California with Larry Hatlett. She then completed the Yoga Alliance 200 hour certification at The Lotus Pond, followed by completion of the 500-hour certification in 2014. Anne is devoted to teaching each student with thoughtful attention and creativity. Anne's teaching style is a mixture of Iyengar, Kripalu, and modern dance, with a strong influence from functional strength training and physical therapy. Anne works to weave core strengthening into every class and tries to lighten things up with humor and to support her students with deep compassion and empathy. Learn more at www.yogawithin.studio
