If you haven't attended one of Anya's somatic movement workshops, you better start moving in this direction! Anya's approach feels very expansive and inclusive. I feel very held and safe to explore my body in new ways. I hope to attend more of her workshops in the future, because I always feel like I leave more open and curious than before.

Anna is one of the best facilitators for yoga, somatic work, and body movement I have ever experienced. I worked with her through guided sessions, and she creates a space that feels calm, safe, and supportive. Her guidance helped me connect more deeply to my body, emotions, and inner state in a way I had never experienced before. She has deep knowledge and a very grounded way of teaching. I always left feeling more present and clear. I highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for meaningful movement and real inner connection.

Anna has facilitated somatic sessions for a variety of wellness/ connection based workshops I've attended.

I'm always surprised and impressed by how different I feel after. I sometimes feel awkward around body/movement based practices, but I've noticed that following her sessions I feel much less inhibited in the moment.

Once they're done, I feel way more present, every single time. She also makes it fun by incorporating music and art.

After experiencing many somatic movement sessions with Anna, I consistently leave feeling more in my body, regulated, and powerful. She's also helped me find more ease, inner attunement, and flow in moving, which is huge given that I sometimes judge myself for being awkward or embarrassing when I move. Hearing about her story as a highly trained dancer who has shifted to focusing more on inner healing and authentic expression is very inspiring for my own journey as well. Feeling very grateful for what she brings to the world.

I know Anna through my meditation group. Anna has a wonderful way of making you feel completely comfortable as she leads you through movement. She helps explore and connect to your body on multiple levels. I highly recommend Anna.

Anna is a dynamic and connective movement teacher. I have experienced her teaching after seated meditation. She seamlessly transformed the energy from meditation into a full-body mindfulness experience. The movements she leads feel spontaneous and appropriate for the moment. Anna teaches from a kind and grounded place, which made me feel welcome and able to share more of my experience.

I have a hard time not feeling self conscious about somatic movement when practicing in a group but I’m slowly learning with Anna’s help to practice it any way and pause when I’m not comfortable doing something. It’s helping me let go of some rigidity and get curious about being connected, with gentleness and awareness, to my body. I’m thankful for her leadership in somatic practices. We had fun learning about our bones and exploring them one week!

I recently attended a retreat where Anna was one of the facilitators. She did a great job of reading the group, and giving us exactly “what” we needed, “when” we needed it. Thank you Anna!

In doing this somatic time with Anna, I have noticed that I am discovering a better relationship with my body. I find I am much looser, less self-conscious, and have an internal feeling of freedom. In today's session, I could feel the movements in a new way—without my brain. I was sensing my deeper self as part of my body—something that has not happened before. This is a much lighter way of being, as somehow the movements shed the heaviness that I sadly carry in myself.

Anna is a really good somatic coach. I've done both private and group sessions with her. She keeps it fun and makes individualized adjustments. I highly recommend her!

I love classes with Anna! I took pole and flexibility classes with her, she was very attentive and skillful at guiding me through my pole journey. i was skeptical about online classes first, but it turned out to be very convenient taking classes from home. highly recommend her classes for fun and professional workout !

Great teacher with unique techniques

Anna is a wonderful pole teacher. She is very responsive and easy to coordinate with. She always has a great lesson planned complete with warm ups and cool downs. She teaches tricks and more flow like dance moves as well. Highly recommended :)

Anna is very diligent and responsible. Well thought out classes with careful preparation tailored to my strengths and needs.
