Ananda

Ananda started her yoga practice in 2006 and has been teaching since 2008. She believes that anatomical fluency and biomechanical accuracy can meet and merge with fluidity somewhere along the middle. She teaches intelligent Vinyasa flow, individualized Yoga Therapy, and experimental Mobility classes that honor diverse forms of movement. Her teaching is informed by her experience with various forms of meditation, modalities of self-inquiry, and studies with many skillful teachers including Vidya Heisel of Frog Lotus Yoga (North Adams, MA), Jasmine Tarkeshi and Dana Flynn of Laughing Lotus (San Francisco)  and Jill Miller of Yoga Tune Up (Los Angeles).

Anna

Anna grew up in Italy very close to her uncle, Somadeva, a Yoga teacher of the Svami Gitananda Ashram. She has been doing sun salutations and asanas (yoga postures) at home, on the beach or in the mountains since she was a very small child. After her classical ballet education at the Royal Academy of Dancing of London and while combining studying economics with a physical education degree in the United States she taught jazz dance and exercise classes at a prominent local sport club.

Fifteen years ago, her Yoga practice became part of her daily life. She decided to follow a Yoga education programme and became a certified Yoga teacher (200h in a 2-year education programme: training in anatomy, yoga philosophy and spirituality, asanas-poses, pranayama-breath control, dhyana-meditation). In 2014 she took the certification of Aerial Yoga (antigravity yoga and Rocket Yoga (based on Asthanga Yoga). In 2016 she also took the certification of the Great Yoga Wall – B.K.S. Iyengar.
She continued her education with Michael Hamilton, David Swenson, Damien De Bastier and Jason Crandel allowing her to deepen her knowledge of Ashtanga and Vinyasa yoga.

Catherine

Catherine leads strong classes – Ashtanga, Rocket and arm balance classes –, offering students a place where to challenge themselves and take their practice to the next level. She encourages her students to become independent in their practice, to listen to their own needs, abilities and limits in order to fully benefit from the class. She strongly believes that a yoga practice should be strong and soft at the same time; energizing and light. Along with the asana practice, she wants to pass her students a strong sense of dedication and a calm mind.

Catherine has a 200 hours certificate in Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga and recently obtained her 100 hours certificate with David Kyle.
