However, it wasn’t until she found yoga that she discovered movement could be medicine. After navigating injuries and chronic pain, she learned that much of her discomfort was closely tied to stress and nervous system overload. Through breath work and mindful movement, Annie experienced firsthand how intentional practices can reduce tension, calm the nervous system, and restore connection to the body.Annie’s teaching style is rooted in vinyasa and shaped by her experience in dance, strength training, and injury-informed movement.

Her classes emphasize breath-led, fluid movement, and body awareness.With a strong focus on mobility, stability, and mindful rest, Annie’s classes are designed to leave students feeling balanced rather than depleted. She offers an inclusive and accessible approach, welcoming both beginners and experienced practitioners.Her teaching invites students to slow down, tune inward, and move with curiosity — fostering strength, resilience, self-trust, and a deeper connection to the body exactly as it is.
