  • Anna Geranina
    Hi, I’m Anya. My yoga journey began four years ago in Nepal, where I discovered the powerful effects of yoga on mental and physical well-being.

    In my classes, I offer a balanced flowing practice that combines basic yoga asanas with gentle full-body movements. The emphasis on noticing sensations and deepening body awareness is key, helping practitioners connect more deeply with their physical and mental state. Each class ends with a deep relaxation practice, also known as a body scan meditation.
    My classes are welcoming to all levels of flexibility and strength, especially for those just starting their yoga journey. 🤍
