Ann believes yoga should be fun. Her classes are playful and challenging, and she teaches with the intention to guide others to be present in their experiences on and off the mat. Always teaching with an emphasis on alignment, Ann encourages her students to adapt the practice to their own unique needs. Ann believes that full body wellness is generated from the mind-body connection. That connection is found in every one of Ann's classes whether students walk, hobble or roll into the room.
