Welcome!
Hi, I'm Anna, a mentor for yoga teachers and training facilitator for Equity Diversity Inclusivity Teacher Trainings for yoga schools. Drawing on my experience as a Senior Yoga Teacher RYT-500, Ayurveda Consultant, Women’s Wellness Therapist, Anthropologist, EDI specialist, and mother of three, I am deeply committed to creating inclusive and empowering spaces. I love supporting passionate yoga teachers and wellbeing practitioners fine-tune their careers to achieve their business goals. Additionally, I facilitate EDI training in yoga schools, fostering conversations around the importance of inclusive and accessible spaces & practice for everyone. My teachings are rooted in Ayurveda, the foundational philosophy of yoga, which emphasizes balance and our connection to both one another and the natural world. As someone with Indian heritage, I feel a deep responsibility to honour yoga's traditions. I believe in progression while respecting cultural roots, and I’m committed to maintaining the essence of yoga while allowing for modern interpretations. With a background in business and anthropology, I’ve been able to merge my professional skills with my passion for yoga, leading to the growth and success of my practice. The strategic insights I gained from my business experience have been invaluable in helping me fine-tune my approach, allowing me to create a thriving yoga business that remains true to its cultural foundation while adapting to meet the needs of today’s practitioners. With a decade of experience running a yoga business and an Ayurvedic practice, I’ll guide you to gain confidence, find your path, and embody these teachings in both your personal and professional life..

Why choose me?
Living a healthy and authentic life takes dedication, and while I stay as true to my path as I can, challenges may knock me off course, but I do my best to be gentle with myself and use the tools I’ve learned to get back on track. My yoga teaching journey spans 10 years - within my first year, I opened a studio, started hosting retreats, and ran workshops and courses. Along the way, I've taught a variety of student genres, from community groups to corporate teams, adapting and always learning. I’ve always had the ambition and skills to grow my business, but in my mid 40s, I’ve shifted to a more behind-the-scenes role, eager to share what I’ve learned while exploring other passions. These days, I’m embracing slow travel with my family, prioritising health and wellbeing wherever we go, and living in harmony through yoga, fitness, and whole foods, according to my dosha! |

about anna
I’m Anna, an Advanced Yoga Teacher and Ayurvedic Consultant based in North Devon. I developed my practice over the past 30 years, teaching in SW London before traveling the world with my three kids and two dogs, and now in Devon.
Since becoming a teacher in 2014, I’ve completed over 1,000 hours of training with esteemed instructors like Sarah Ramsden, Uma Dinsmore-Tuli, and Jason Crandall, and I’ve taught over 4,000 hours of classes. I’m passionate about personalised instruction and have witnessed the profound transformation that comes from working with private clients—the traditional way yoga was taught. I particularly love coaching women, empowering them to build confidence and embrace their inner voice.
I’m curating a 200-hour yoga teacher training program, “Breaking Boundaries and Redefining Tradition,” that celebrates the unique voices of women. Aimed to empower us to become confident advocates for authenticity and inclusivity in our practice. This program fuses traditional yoga and Ayurvedic science with modern anatomy and female perspectives.
My cultural roots (Indian, French, Portuguese, Scottish, Dutch, Irish, Chinese) inspire me to explore yoga from traditional and cultural perspectives, weaving modern anatomy with pagan and tantric philosophies. I invite you to join me on this journey of healing, strengthening from within, and creating a deeper connection with one another and our planet.
