Currently residing in Bloomington, Indiana with her husband, one year old son, and dogs Howie (6 year old beagle) and Rosie (11 year old lab), Anna is a southerner by birth and Hoosier by choice.
Through her love of rowing, Anna has experience competing as a Division I athlete as well as coaching Division I athletics. Anna holds a degree in kinesiology from Indiana University and has personal trained clients of all ages and backgrounds for the past eight years. She loves to make movement accessible and empowering which has attracted clients of all body sizes and ability levels as young as 13 and and as old as 84!
Anna began a regular yoga practice in 2008 to supplement her training for rowing and hasn’t stopped since. As Anna found freedom through her mind, body, and breath she sought out ways in which she could share these gifts with others. In 2017, Anna became a registered yoga teacher, certified by Nourishing Heart Yoga with Matece Skow and has taught studio classes, corporate yoga, workshops, and private yoga sessions since.
In 2019, Anna had the honor of becoming a faculty member for Nourishing Heart Yoga 200 hour yoga teacher training program. She is passionate about fusing traditional yogic sequencing and philosophy with western movement science. It is Anna’s goals for teachers to both honor the heart of yoga while also hosting safe and effective yoga classes.
Anna’s career in both movement and coaching is based off her love of empowering others and welcoming them home to their own body and mind to harness greater strength and peace.
